I guess what I’m saying is there are many people here that would complain or be excited about any one of those scenarios.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Reags college basketball coverage is literally the only thing worth reading on Barstool. Guy has to get to a legit outlet sooner than later.

Disagree on both fronts:

1. PFT is hilarious and always worth the read.

2. Reags basketball coverage is great and he is the only one doing it for barstool and reaching a large audience. Would bet Barstool pays pretty well and grants him freedom to do what he wants.

It depends on your definition of bubble. Personally, I think there are six NCAA tournament caliber teams in the Big East with another one or two that could make the NIT, so 8/10 in postseason contention would seem like a pretty good year.

But what if I told you that the top two teams look like 3-5 seeds and the other four look like 9-12 seeds? And the two NIT teams are more NIT hopeful then NIT lock. Starts to seem like kind of a down year. I think this second scenario is what the BEast is facing this season.

So where do the Johnnies fit in your analysis.

3rd. Could see them as high as a six seed, could see them as low as missing the postseason. They have good pieces but I'm not sure how they fit together yet. They will also be going through an identity shift. As Jay Bee noted in another thread, they were great on defense and terrible on offense last season. This season their defense is bound to get worse with Keita as the only possible rim protector, so the offense will need to improve leaps and bounds. Could they? Absolutely. Will they? We will see.
