OT - Providence hoops

[NEforceUConn]

HUSH your mouth there are some Catholics on this board

 

[mauconnfan]

You're smarter than this, I think. Just STFU and go to sleep. Your team is really good but not nearly good enough to come to a champions board to talk crap. Need to get a lot more dine than a win over Butler, another overrated NBE team.

Happy New Year, FriarJ. Hummm, 5 time zones behind us!!! You are either in the state of Hawaii, or, more likely, the state of inebriation!!!
Congrats on your win over Butler. You guys should crack the top 10.
BTW, I'll take our win over Butler, a few years ago, over your win yesterday.

 

[Palatine]

4-0

You came to a UConn board to fish for compliments. I've always been complimentary of Providence but you are just a clown. We're 4-0 in championship games the past 16 years, not even sure if you guys have won a single tournament game in that time frame, know your audience and know your place.

I'm 5 time zones behind you, I'm sitting at a pool, checking out thoughts different then mine. You on the other hand are on here at 7:00pm on New Years Eve to participate in a Husky circle jerk.

Wow you had a late but winning entry into the most pathetic #humblebrag of the year 2015. Enjoy your March disappointment that I'm positive you will feel. While PC is getting good this year it takes more than being good to get what you want. ( see UConn 90, 94, 95, 96, 98, 06, 09 who were all better than PC this year and didn't win titles) it takes a lot of knocking to kick the door open. Odds are severely against you winning the first time you have a contender. I look forward to laughing at you in March. You would make a good cuse fan btw.

The biggest circle jerk I've seen is reading the delusional wimps on your board fawn over Cooley and mentioning him as an NBA candidate. He's been a head coach for 11 years and has ZERO ncaa wins, so the good news for you is Ed has no better options. Enjoy this season while it lasts because with your crap recruiting this is it.

 

[Husky1964]

Four years with Gomes and not ONE NCAA win. That's hard to do!!!!!But you beat us at Gampel and we won #4 after.

The folks constantly getting into d*** measuring contests with PC sound pretty lame and insecure. JMO.

True enough, but no more insecure than the PC fan who constantly appears on another team's board looking for validation and then gets pissy when people don't give him the ball washing he comes here for.

I think there are some PC fans that fall into that category. Not sure if @FriarJ is that guy though. Seems like he was just having some back and forth with matrim who was clearly giving him some (possibly good natured) ribbing. I'll let him defend himself, though.

Nobody's opinion is more or less valid than mine in regards to what programs to dislike. I kind of scratch my head, though, when I hear posters ITT calling them their least favorite college basketball program.

University of Miami (TheU) head coach Jim Larranaga comes in @ #25 in career pts at Providence College with 1258 career points. Billy Donovan another great coach finished @ #21. Two very good players who became great coaches.

kenpom has providence at 35, what gives? has to do with the 'luck rating' i'm assuming.

 

[BLUEDOGHOUSE]

Providence was 200/1 to win it all right before beating Butler at a Vegas casino. Some potential value there. The problem is I still can't see them making a Final4 run. Maybe I will regret not playing that? Just wasn't quite feeling it.

 

[gtcam]

Nothing against you FJ but I have been following UConn MBB since the mid 60's and even back then, PC fans were jerks.
Again, nothing against you, but to ant PC fan who ventures here: don't let the door hit you in the ass as you leave this site

 

[Leebo]

No, no, don't go! What will we do without trolls from other fanbases?

Dunn missing the better part of three games with a virus definitely contributes to that ranking, IMO. They also started off slow (only beat a bad Illinois team by one, struggled with NJIT).

From the Evansville game forward, when they've been at full strength, they've played at a top ten level.
