Big East Poll , NET Rankings and Team Sheets

What's the worst any Big East team has finished in RPI or NET? DePaul approaching 300 is despicable

Hoping we knock SH down to comfortably Q2 Saturday.

Or beat them by 1 and they move up to Q1!

[Silkk the Shaka]

Did some research using Kenpom's data... this DePaul team is indeed the worst-ranked computer team in the history of the Big East back to 1999, only rivaling 2001 Virginia Tech and Ewing's Georgetown swan song last year.

Even worse than their own epic stretch of futility from 2009-2011 when they won a combined *TWO* conference games over a span of three seasons.

They need another complete overhaul. Stubbs so very clearly ain't it (as if the mic'd up huddles on FS1 weren't evidence enough). They are embarrassing the conference even worse than usual. At least Georgetown made a huge move hiring Cooley so they have hope after the last two years. Val Ackerman needs to step in if Peevey doesn't. With the portal and NIL, major conference teams that are serious about men's hoops should be able to make a turnaround to be at the very least competitive in relatively short order. Despicable!

[The Sultan]

De Paul is a dumpster fire, but I doubt the Big East is in anyway embarrassed by them. They're just highly irrelevant.

It'd be very interesting to be a fly on a wall during meetings. Do you think any of the other ADs take Peevy seriously on basketball stuff? I mean it'd be hard to even justify having an opinion.

[The Sultan]

I think conference meetings are almost entirely about business.

[MU82]

Not sure what some folks expect the Big East - or Val Ackerman - to do about DePaul.

[Its DJOver]

DePaul has been awful for a while and the conference has been fine.  I feel confident that the conference will continue to be fine if DePaul continues to be awful.  Every conference has their bottom dweller.

[Scoop Snoop]

Not sure what some folks expect the Big East - or Val Ackerman - to do about DePaul.

I half seriously suggested a buyout, but I think Sultan's reply was that he did not see any way that would be make $ sense. I guess as the concept of the NBE was forming, we needed even a team like DP to start with 7 before adding 3 more.

They're not going away and realistically? The rest of the BE is stuck with them. I have mixed feelings about expansion, but if that happens....DP's alleged "bball program" would be diluted as a drag on the BE.

[Silkk the Shaka]

I think conference meetings are almost entirely about business.

Wouldn't the Chicago market potentially caring even a little bit about Big East basketball be good for business?

[IrwinFletcher]

Has there ever been an instance where a conference kicks a school out due to poor performance of a program?  I sure can't think of one.

Any my guess is that the other 10 coaches don't mind DePaul on their schedule twice a season.  Gives you a chance to play others down the roster and work on some things.

[tower912]

English premier league relegation model with the A-10.   The problem with that is the Big East ends up trading DePaul and Georgetown for Dayton and St. Louis

We did. The Big East is the only conference to kick a team out in my lifetime. The BEast kicked out Temple (football only member) in 2004. The only other example I know of is Marshall getting kicked out of the MAC for recruiting violations.  Only reason i know that one it's because the plane crash happened the following season

All the panic after last night and the 1st bracketology I see while scrolling Twitter still has Marquette as the Top 3 seed.

Purdue- 1 seed
Kansas- 1 seed
UConn- 2 seed
UW-Madison- 2 seed
Creighton- 5 seed
Illinois- 5 seed
Nova- 7 seed
St. Johns- 8 seed
Providence- 10 seed
Seton Hall- 12 seed play in

[brewcity77]

That's not Twitter, that's NKY Bracketology. General consensus is still in the 7-9 overall seed range.

If you reread carefully, I said first bracketology I saw while scrolling Twitter.

Thank You Herman. Marquette #19 in the NET is not too bad.
