We want a strong BEast conference.  This wasn't an ideal result.  Nor was St.J blowing their game last night. 

Eff dem kids

I'm pissed! Going to do bong hits before the game, pray

Solid win for Mr. Cooley. 5-1 helps the Big East cause. His PR stunt comment re: Epps will get attention as well.

How does his 5-1 help the BE? Look at the teams and tell me how mighty they are. And he has 3 more cupcakes on the schedule before finally facing West Virginia.

I want all the BE teams to win all their non-cons, but if a BE team wants to help themselves as well as their BE brethren, don't load up on cupcakes. Cooley did. That's why he's fat.

It's great for the league's RPI, so it'll help if we time travel to 2017.

High Efficiency Wins over cupcakes are always preferable to losses to Cupcakes. Last year Mr Cooley and DePaul were losing to cupcakes and that really hurt The Big East

Dude

They were in a dog fight today against a terrible team missing their best player and 6th man haha

(Bolded) You mean like Seton Hall, Butler and Villanova this year? Of course not losing to cupcakes is "preferable. I guess my point is that all BE teams should win all their cupcake games AND Cooley should not be padding his schedule with them. We are not the A10 or MVC. St. Johns got pissed off when the Selection Committee had the audacity to take their soft scheduling into account.

Cooley could improve his ooc schedule if he could quickly schedule a worthy opponent. Maybe Illinois would work something out with him.

Oh...one more thing. I still think Cooley's love of cupcakes is why he's fat.

It's easy to understand his posts when you remember he's an idiot

You know he is dead...

DePaul will be better with Holtmann.  Like Shaka at Texas, Holtmann at Ohio State didn't work.  He did good work at Butler.

Georgetown's schedule is soft, but it didn't get invited to any MTE and TV did not arrange any opponents outside the Big East-Big 12 finale. If Ed Cooley went 5-6 with a tougher schedule, it doesn't help the Big East and probably puts him on a warmer seat.

I'm guessing not going to an MTE was a choice as much as anything (and the choice MU made this year). Athletic Directors have relationships with the event organizers, if they wanted to be in an MTE they certainly could be on name recognition alone, even if it meant a second-tier MTE.

Going 5-6 would depend on who they beat, who they lost to, and what the margins looked like. You blow out 5 cupcakes by 40+ and lose single-digit results to tourney teams, that does a lot more good for the rest of the league than narrowly beating teams like Lehigh and Fairfield while getting blown out by ND.

Depaul with another high efficiency cupcake feast over Northern Illinois. Having a solid coach is helpful.

While I agree with Brew's post below yours, I hope you know that I do not wish Georgetown or any other BE team to lose any OOC games. A couple here enjoyed Creighton's loss to Nebraska.    As if that was good for the BE. Yeah...riiight.

It's difficult for me to imagine what you must be feeling with Georgetown destroying their program over quite a few years. As you have articulated very well....resurrecting it is a massive project. I expect a W when we go to the game in DC in March, but the '26 game may be a bit dicey, as the Brits say.

I assume Scoopers want St.J even though we punked Georgia?

Yes.  Always pull for Rick Pitino to do well

[Skatastrophy]

At least Slick Rick got their game on real TV.

Shaka could learn a thing or two.

You probably don't want to know what he had to do to make that happen.

That's not the point.  I'm talking from an MU/BEast conf perspective.
