They are only overrated if you do not understand probability math. ---> https://basketball.realgm.com/article/229173/star-ratings-in-depth

Here are the following things that are not in Omaha:

1. NBA
2. NFL
3. NBA
4. Reasonably accomplished alternative programs anywhere near them
5. More or less any entertainment options.

It is because no one cares about the first 16. Everyone knows those. Everyone cares about the last 10.

Villanova fans aren't going to care to watch someone project them as a 2-seed. If they...

After last night, XU is 27th in Pomeroy and 26th in the RPI. I doubt you actually believe that, but if you do youd be wrong (and reactionary)

I honestly do not understand how they are under consideration, much less anything else. I'm not sure what you are looking at if you look at that program and see anything other than "below average".

Hubris?

Its just the reality of things. Xavier is in no better position that Butler for the future. Its simple.

Butler is 455-185 over the last 20 seasons. If BU finishes with 5 more wins, in 12/13, the 20-year average is exactly 23 wins per year.

And, will likely catch Xavier this March in number of...

Butler is angry from last month, back at full strength, and will be playing in front of another sell-out. Butler is winning that game (likely with some margin)

It doesn't take anything away from...

Pump the breaks...

SLU has:

@ Butler
vs St Joe
@ GW
@ Xavier
v LaSalle

Was told by someone I don't doubt yesterday evening that it will be Xavier, Butler, SLU, Dayton, and Richmond. FWIW

The article just seemed implausible throughout so I checked what the Georgetown people had to say about it. Evidently, Feinstein is a clown and you can't really take any of it seriously.

I'm just...

1. Of course Butler would spend significantly more in the Big East. The revenue alone should tell you that. Regardless, the basketball budget will continue to climb to whatever level is necessary....

Umm, no

Can't guarantee they'd be interested with, but without? Not happening

I understand what the current A10 format is.

I'm just saying, the only way there'd be interest is if there were divisions. The east coast programs and the travel to those programs, without it,...

It would probably require a creation of East/West divisions, but, if the Big East does mean to keep itself on life support a few years, I think they'd be curious.

evidently, the big east is going to put itself on life support and offer navy and army. this would probably be able to maintain the status quo until Rutgers or UConn or West Virginia left (or any...

Because Butler has been looking at him for quite a while and given the profile of the program, a program like Xavier's (which is very good, btw) just isn't going to be able to move on, specifically...

Since having more information on a player that potentially will be among those beating you annually...

He didn't play AAU before this summer, hell he's never been on a plane before. He averaged...

You can take this with as much offense as you want, but Xavier wouldn't have the slightest chance in hell of getting him, if Butler offers anyway.

Anyway, Stevens flew out to see him yesterday...

Sadomasochism isn't good, you might want to talk to someone about that.

When they GMM's commitment, that filled their allotment of 13 for 11/12.

Nope, they are full for next school year.

The 1st one has some serious problems.

He'll be at Butler this weekend, though, he is almost certainly going to go to Purdue.

Ha! That's the first time I saw that. 4 of the 5 coaches listed as recruiting Gant are Butler guys. That's hilarious. Need to get Scott Drew in there.
