Bay Area Tiger 347 Report post Posted March 18 Mark my words now with NIL coffers. St John’s will load up this off season and be a top 10 team next year. Really surprised Pitino not in the Big Dance considering TV money and ratings. We are all old and have seen year after year certain teams slighted but yesterday was true insanity. Virginia in with a net of 58. PS- NCAA, NIT and.. any other tournament available for our Tigers to decline?? CBI CIT? Yeah our young core of players doesn’t need the extra games cause of the Canada trip.. Think it but why say it Coach 🫣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m in the same college basketball torture boat, my extended family is Dayton, Villanova, and Georgetown people.(at least Georgetown has been about on par with towson the last few years) oh an Penn state folk but that’s mainly football envy there 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They didn't have a great OOC schedule and beat up on the weak Big East teams. They weren't good enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though he’s having a bad season, he’s going to the tournament for the first time in six years. Might be a short trip if McCullar and/or Dickinson don’t play https://x.com/baltcosun/status/1769710292655595822?s=46&t=nScacl1TWT-KyOwj5stBaw Nice story. Cool for him to finally make it. For most college players, playing it March is the goal. (For some fans of program too!). Yes without McCullar and Dickinson at full health, it’ll be very difficult for them To win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am Big East through and through, but outside of UConn, Marquette and Creighton that conference wasn't any better than the Pac-12. The Pitino act of being God's gift to basketball and feeling like he is owed a bid is BS. I have no doubt he will load up next year, and be a top 15-20 team, but he doesn't deserve to be there this year and the sour grapes routine of not accepting an NIT big is ridiculous. He doesn't have to do it, but to me you are spitting on the history of the tournament so you can get ahead of the NIL chase for a week or so. As much as it is annoying, he is probably right and the NIL movement shouldn't be allowed until the day after the National Title game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
