    That's a good point. Did anyone watch the GOP debate on Fox Sports 1 the other day?

    Uh huh. That's an interesting theory. That might be the most ridiculous assessment I've ever heard.

    His handle is "Murphy." Perhaps the dumbest and most delusional of the bunch. Some of his fellow Flyer fans had to come over to shout him down, which just adds to them spending way too much time on a BE board.

    The world according to murph:

    - UD is swimming in cash.
    - UD is turning away applicants left and right.
    - UD doesn't bow to any broadcaster (they kind of operate on the same level as ND (with NBC), or not).
    - The A10 is perfect for UD.

    That last bullet is true, as they can celebrate beating St. Louis up and then talk about making it into the Top 25 - maybe. Juggernaut. Just a juggernaut, which happens to pay Archie $2.5 trillion a year, while providing him a personal G6 as he settles into coaching at Dayton for life.

    Love it.

    BTW, if I recall correctly, I believe they had an AD change not to long ago, and they may have elevated someone from within. I suspect that means someone with limited hiring experience. UD, of all places, has proven that it can be clueless when it comes to hiring a coach. The jury is certainly out on that one.

    Why? He's doing a good job this season with defensively deficient personnel that can score in bunches (should be a familiar recent narrative to Xavier fans). They just never deserved a top 10 ranking.

    Tulsa is definitely worse. Not only will they lose more games, they'll end up on NCAA probation after Haith is gone.

    I don't think it is. I was convinced he was really good before he even got to Butler. Last year was his first season, the program was in a tailspin, and they were noticeably better than the year before and exceeded just about every expectations. They're good again this year. They're not top a top fifteen team, so it makes sense that they haven't beaten any top fifteen teams. But, they have just one loss outside of the top fifteen, and that was at Creighton.

    Now, having said that, they are in a stretch where they need to start winning. They need to be able to beat teams like Marquette, Saint John's, and Georgetown, who are clearly not top fifteen teams.

    He got that one right. Should be an annual cakewalk to the title and autobid with no X, Butler or Temple. But they can't even seem to get that right. They love beating up on RPI 200+ (except LaSuck) in hs gyms.
