    Hines enters portal

    Not surprised. My guess either Georgetown or Rutgers.

    Simpkins Portal

    I would have liked to get simpkins back but it was smart to have a sensible limit on him. Against top competition, Simpkins seemed to be overwhelmed at times and I’d even say to some degree intimidated. Clark and Hines with the priority and limited budget, Simpkins became expendable.

    Big East Results

    Hurley looked genuinely relieved last night to get that win out of the way and thank goodness for the League as well. Friday night matchups are fantastic.

    Big East needs to expand…….

    I don’t know what the right answere are, but it’s up to the Commissioner to do some Business Development work to see what makes sense. Agreed that the #1 priority is maximizing TV revenue per team and if it gets diluted, you can’t do it. But go and consult with your current TV contract...

    Big East needs to expand…….

    I think we’ve reached the point where the power in numbers is now a problem for the Big East to get its fair share of bids. With the B1G at I think 18 (maybe more), SEC, ACC, and Big 12 all at 16 the deck is stacked in their favor to get more coveted Quad 1 wins and force more bids their way...

    Seton Hall Declines Postseason

    Yeah, unacceptable IMO. You’re going to play in a Tournament where players can earn NIL. This only makes sense if either Shaheen and/or players are essentially wanting to focus on their next moves. It’s definitely a BS move.

    My how things have changed

    St. John’s put on one of the best Defensive performances I’ve ever seen last night. Pitino is a master for getting everything out of his teams; can’t bet against that guy especially when he’s seeing a team for a third time. And Ejufor is of course a Beast. I didn’t think he was NBA...

    Clark

    I’d like to see all the players who still have eligibility to come back next year. Especially a core of Clark, Hines, Simpkins, Williams, Parker, and hopefully Dar. Probably unrealistic to think it’s going to happen, but would be good for Shaheeen and staff to get some continuity. From...

    Negative sign of the times

    The sadder part is the reality that most teams are better off bringing in players from the Portal rather than trying to develop HS kids.

    Passing of a real Pirate fan

    RIP. Thoughts and prayers.

    Holloway comments with Popkin

    Pretty depressing situation. Shaheen’s leadership is in question right now whether anyone thinks it is correct or not. AJ Stanton McCray just has had some invisible man type of performances. Clark is a good PG but not someone who can put a team on his back at this level. No doubt...

    Sha says

    we’ve become an easy scout at this point; play a Zone Defense against us, force us to make outside shots which we’ve been absolutely brutal at since Big East play started. Team does not have any effective zone offense. Couple this with the fact that the ref crew was clearly out to send a...

    Jerry on the game

    Hate to blame the Athletic department for too much, but they need to be on top of this to do whatever they can to get the students to that arena. Seems like there are not many Student Season tix sold. Make it as easy as possible. Give some coupons for the concession stands. Do whatever.

    Hines will play

    Payne deserves 30 minutes a game the way he has played. Hines will need to come off the bench as a 10 to 15 minute player at this point.

    Rick Pitino says UConn will ‘keep trying to move to another conference,’ would ‘love’ Notre Dame in Big East

    Easy for slick Rick to run his mouth with Repole bankrolling the program. As for Notre Dame, every league should blackball their department and make them get a new AD. Guy was a real A Hole for his bitching and whining.
