Date: March 27th, 2023 10:03 AM Author: contagious national this isnt the big east.
Uconn has a weird northeast history. most people who grew up with big east basketball have more of an affinity for georgetown, villanova, cuse, than uconn. I never would have thought they would have more NCs than those schools combined. that part I agree is insane. |

Syracuse should dump its shitty football program like UConn did and join the Big East. |

did anyone really "win" from that realignment? ACC basketball sucks now and they are stuck with garbage football teams in Cuse and BC. BC is completely irrelevant without the Big East. |
|
Date: March 27th, 2023 12:34 PM Author: Sadistic karate spot ACC took a swing but missed. It’s a walking dead conference that’ll be picked apart in 2032 once its tv deal is up.
BC, Pitt and Cuse all desperately wanted in with the football big boys and have gotten nothing worthwhile from destroying the old Big East. Hasn’t gone well for Miami football either although they have a shot at a basketball title next weekend. |

Date: March 27th, 2023 2:06 PM Author: Dark bat shit crazy azn set Interesting: In 1982, Penn State applied for membership, but was rejected, with only five schools in favor (Penn State needed six out of eight). It was long rumored that Syracuse cast the deciding vote against Penn State, but Mike Tranghese confirmed that this was not the case and that Syracuse had, in fact, voted for Penn State's inclusion.[8] Penn State would loom large over the conference during future rounds of realignment as the Nittany Lions had the potential to shore up the conference once football members began to join. Following the decisions by Georgetown, St. John's, and fellow Pennsylvania school Villanova to vote against Penn State's admission, then-Big Ten administrator and future-Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese said the conference would "rue the day" they rejected the Nittany Lions. |

Date: March 27th, 2023 2:16 PM Author: contagious national this is seen as the major fuckup. penn state would have given them a football standard bearer much like fsu in the acc. later with adding miami the conference would have had NC capable teams in football and basketball. Given the east coast market, it could have been a superior conference to the acc and a natural rival to the big ten.
instead they got the worst of both worlds. bad football and watered down basketball. They should have just stuck to a bball conference of northeast private/small schools, or gone all in on big time football. the middle road was a huge mistake. |

Quarterfinal day could have UConn vs Cuse, Georgetown/Villanova daytime doubleheader with Notre Dame vs Louisville and Providence vs Pitt night cap doubleheader. It was all taken from us by GC. |

Date: March 27th, 2023 3:28 PM Author: fighting faggot firefighter ticket booth Ta-Nehisi digs up a hell of a quote:
New York Daily News sports editor Paul Gallico wrote in the mid 1930s that basketball "appeals to the Hebrew with his Oriental background [because] the game places a premium on an alert, scheming mind and flashy trickiness, artful dodging and general smartalecness." We see how qualities such as cunning and wiliness were posited as the keys to Jewish basketball success and how these kinds of statements were indicative of early 20th century America.

Date: March 28th, 2023 12:03 AM Author: Effete Emerald Address Gaming Laptop Almost forgot. I saw Richard Hamilton’s buzzer beater in 1998 live and I was just below the television camera with a perfect view.
I lived less than a mile from the Greensboro Coliseum and thought I bought tickets to the ACC Tournament but when my tickets came they were for the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight (I was hitting the bong a lot those days).
I’m a huge UNC fan and it was pure luck that I got to see Carolina play. That was the year after Dean Smith retired and their new coach allowed showboating.
Vince Carter was on that team and he did a 360 slam that erupted the pro-Carolina crowd. It was literally 180x2.
After Carolina won, almost everyone left so we moved from our nosebleed seats to perfect mid court seats for the UConn v Washington game. U-Dub had two 7 footers called the Twin Towers.
Hamilton’s buzzer beater is the GOAT March Madness highlight.
