No Tears For Richmond

Exactly. And if the R word should set his money on fire, what does that say to everybody here who is begged to contribute to the NIL grift, as recently as today coming off the season we just had. At least Repole got a league title, a tournament title, and exposure for his school we haven’t seen since 1989. How about all those here who contributed to Onward - do our fans get money back or should we burn that too?
Plus every dollar they spent on NIL was worth the investment. Extra games at the Garden with 19,000 fans and overall increase in alumni and fan engagement. Spend money to make 💰.

Ran into a team with a bigger billionaire - actually 3 bigger billionaires. Will likely just lead to him spending more.

A blown chance

A very brief stay in this tournament by Quick Rick, who coached an uncharacteristically bad game. He’s got two no-names in the last five minutes with Luis glued to the bench, the conference player of the year. And not feeding Ejiofor in the post is malpractice. Also, Daivon Smith sucks. St. John’s was going to win until that kid who used to play here fouled out (on a total non-foul).
I believe Luis hurt his foot in the first half.

A blown chance

I definitely have mixed feelings. I'm not sad to see Pitino lose but the Big East needs money and every Win is vital. Need Creighton and UConn to win in this SEC/B10 Tournament.
I always want our teams to go as far as possible. Always been that way with the Big East. This year looks like it won’t happen but we have 2 shots left.

More important is we right our ship after 4 months of embarrassment.

I know. I’ve watched all of them. If you are complaining that we don’t get exposure, I’m not sure what to tell you. I’ve been a fan for many decades. It is what it is, and it isn’t going to change absent something unusual, like us hiring Pitino, switching our home court to the Garden and having a season where we win a million games in the media capital of the world.

Sorry but if conferences like ours don’t show up this is another reason for the big boys to discard us in the future. Can’t stand another SEC team moving on.
Our league has won what, four of the last eight NCAA Tournament? I hear what you’re saying but it’s not like we’ve come up empty for a generation like the Big Ten.

A blown chance

Yes because we haven’t had a season like they have had since 92-93. And because we are Seton Hall and they are St Johns in NYC with Rick Pitino. Of course they are going to get enormous coverage locally and nationally when they won as many games as they did, won the league outright for the first time in forever, won the BET for the first time. All that exposure comes with the territory.

Pitino’s NCAA Tournament run was brief and unfortunate.

Generally I don’t like to see a school from our conference be on the losing end of such a big upset - especially since it seems like The Big East needs to continually prove itself every March.

Screw it, though. I’m happy to see that team go down in flames and utter devastating disappointment. Fitting Richmond had to watch from the bench at the end(though I do admit his fifth foul was BS). The kid got paid, but it didn’t mean jack in March.

Was an ugly game with all the fouls but the pace, the defense and the sheer number of great athletes made it a fun game. Teams combined to go 4 for 41 from 3!!! Two of the highest payrolls and most celebrated coaches. I felt Rick didn't coach a good game.

St Johns ran into a team that could match them from a talent POV and I feel they got gun-shy by Arkansas' shot blockers. But the biggest factor was Kadary didn't play well and eventually fouled out.
More talented team IMO. No one before the year had SJU as a 2 seed on paper. They were picked 5th in the league.
