Big East 2024 Offseason

[MU82]

Georgetown has three NCAA wins since 2007 and hasn't seen the the AP Top 25 in nine years. This ditch wasn't built by Cooley but by two men that will never coach college basketball again.

Yes, just enjoying another excellent post from the dearly departed 9-9-9.

[PointWarrior]

Excellent win by UConn or excellent for SH to keep it under a 30 pt loss?   

Maybe it’s both - Herm?

[Herman Cain]

Excellent win for The Huskies. Hurley was focused on pay back for the loss to The Hall earlier in the season.

UConn is just a very good team.

[DoctorV]

UConn is dismantling teams- outside of the game in Omaha- with Karaban being cold af from the outside
1-6
1-7
1-3
1-6 in his last 4.

This time around it was Castle, Clingan, and Newton carrying the load.

I’ve been down on Newton in the past but it seems like he’s picking it up in the shooting department and stuffing the box score in every category.
They’ve just got so many different weapons to turn to.

I can still see them dipping out before the EE this year in a scenario where Karaban is cold and Newton is playing sloppy and turning it over, but I’m not as confident as before.

Hard to see Tristen not winning BEPOY at this point.

Providence wins at Georgetown.

Ed Cooley’s first season at Providence, they went 15-17, 4-14 in the Big East and finished 126th in KenPom

His first season at Georgetown, he is 9-20 and 2-17 in the Big East and currently 193rd in KenPom.

Can’t define what his tenure at GTown will be after one year, but concerns the fanbase might have, probably shouldn’t be ignored

35 home losses in three seasons, 12 this season. Tickets are now mostly road fans. 15,000 empty seats a night and no relief in sight.

The ditch is deep. Sooner or later, it becomes too deep.

Nah, Herm is expecting a solid season from Cooley & Co next year.

There is a lot of pressure for them to show a lot of improvement next year. 

Nice class coming in and I think Fielder and Brumbaugh are good young players but they need to win more next year and really show improvement, especially on defense.  Has to be the worst defensive Hoyas team in decades

[DFW HOYA]

Announced attendance: 5,287 (25 percent capacity)

How many were from Providence?

[Herman Cain]

Excellent road win for Friars over Mr Cooley. Tough season for The Hoyas, outlook is solid though. Have some recruits on the way and probably get some talent in the portal.

Looks like Georgetown will suck next year

DePaul may be the worst D-1 team I've ever seen Herman. 

[tower912]

Should have watched UDM v UWM

[nyg]

DePaul may be the worst D-1 team I've ever seen Herman.

DePaul lost 13 of their last 14 BE games last year. Lone win was a one pointer over SH.
Probably 0-20 this year, making them 1-33 in past 34.  Putrid to say the least, but Georgetown, a once powerhouse, to have fallen not far behind is a shame.  Georgetown will be back, but DePaul very doubtful.  No recruits are going there.

Tom Crean and Steve Wojo?

I assume you mean P6 team. There are much worse teams - even this year.

[Johnny B]

They are 315 on kenpom. This is should be near impossible for a p6 team.

Oh, they are definitely historically horrible for a p6 team - but Muggsy said D1 - there's a least a couple dozen teams worse than them this year - including Detroit Mercy and MVSU

I mean, Chicago State has been dreadful for nearly 40 years - literally one winning season since 1986-87. And most of those years they had records similar to DePaul's this season. Their .400 winning percentage this season was their best in 10 years and 3rd best in 36 years.

But yes, I can't remember a P6 team as bad as this DePaul team ... probably the worst team in Big East history?

Not sure when you posted this, but Pitino put in the bench with 5 minutes to go, but they did already have 99 at that point.  If he REALLY wanted to run it up...they would have scored 105+ against DePaul like Marquette did.

Rooting for Nova tonight to clinch MU’s spot in the evening session next Thursday.
