And the games we played without Hines when he had a concussion?
We beat prov without him and got smoked by nova when he did play. You’re comparing a bench player to a 1st league all BE, 2nd team all BE, and a player who made the BE Rookie team. Hines didn’t accomplish any of that
Nice, suprised we still have money left. Hopefully it was invested in Micron to turn a quick profit
or WebisticsYou are probably right. It’s June 5th. The roster should have been finalized weeks ago. I also wouldn’t call a juco center making the team much better.
We were fortunate last year on the injury front. Those other teams and examples (didn’t USC’s leading scorer miss time too when we played them?), and outside of Hines, no one missed any time. Obviously Godswill, Suemnick and Felton missed major time, but I don’t remember a SHU team in recent memory that avoided the injury bug with rotation players.
He was the best Juco player in the country.
Terry Copeland is I believe who they are discussing, went to HS at Bergen Catholic.
We SURPRISED last year and we can do it again this year. Aside from UCONN and SJU, there are no other juggernauts.
That may be true. However you can look at the rosters of all the BE teams and evaluate the players based on their pedigree and past performance and come up with an educated guess. Of course that needs to factor in the coach and his staff and what they can do with the kids on the roster and how well they fit into the coaches plans.
Did you expect us to be on the verge of making the NCAA tournament last year? We were right there on the cutting line.
Come on. We surprised every college basketball fan.
It will be a good sign for the BE if the team that wins the regular season title has 4-5 losses. That most likely means the depth is back to where it should be.
You can’t make the tournament if you don’t beat any tournament teams. Our best win was vs a team that played in the first four, and our second best win was a team that played in the crown lol
The Big East must do better, much better, in the OOC games.
The OOC didn’t help last year but preseason expectations weren’t there for most of the BE based on the returning players and offseason. You had two really good teams, one solid team just on the right side of the bubble and mediocrity to bad for the rest. How the teams are projected preseason has some impact on where everyone starts from a ranking perspective, I believe. And this year I think most of college basketball will be pretty bullish on the depth of the league based on the offseason.
I might move Marquette to Tier 1 with what they retained and who they brought in the door since Shaka decided not to be allergic to the portal this offseason.
Everyone's drinking the Hodgson Kool Aid coupled with all the talent they brought in the door. I think the preseason expectations are probably more likely to match what Dan had as well re: Providence for that reason. And in defense of those who think that, the guy has immediately turned two teams around and taken them to the dance.
Do you have season tickets? How do you support the team? We know you're aces with complaining on Saturday night. lol
Providence is just not a very good program.
Love Sha the player, like Sha the coach, but I don't think him and Hodgson are that different. The Elite 8 run with SPU is always a giant thing on the Sha resume, but outside of that it is crickets when it comes to the NCAA (and yes I count last year as a good season and the BE COY as a noteworthy honor). Hodgson quickly built two NCAA worth teams in two different conferences/levels.
BTW, I don't see why you don't think Providence is a good program. And I hate everything and anything New England, by and large, from a sports perspective.
Did they win a tournament 12 years ago because Seton Hall knocked out top-seeded Nova in the first round?
