At least they got Best of the Rest right!Found this on IG. Comments were fun. Everyone arguing about who's "elite" and who isn't. And one Kansas fan bragging that they beat UConn this season with their worst team in a decade. LoL View attachment 100412
You’ve gotta think providence has a good a chance as any to show up on a list of “also rans”How many more tiers does it take before Syracuse and Providence appear?
Can't help but notice the absence of any Canadian teams from that list.You’ve gotta think providence has a good a chance as any to show up on a list of “also rans”
That was funny!“also rans”
I assume the list is based on history of more than 2 years, although there seems to be a lot of recency bias. 2 years with the same cast of characters and not advancing as far as a 2 seed should in either year sort of limits the tier they should be in. Program ranking should be over many different rosters at a school IMOMarquette belongs in the "Great" category. Winning both Big East titles in 2022-23 and being a #2 seed in the tournament for back to back years is a bit better than "Consistent" I would say lol.

It's not just the Big East. Is there a program that has gotten better after moving from their conference? I don't think so. Nebraska? Texas Tech? Missouri? Maryland? Miami?Look how far ND, Cuse, Pitt.,BC West Vir. have fallen in Basketball since they left the Big East.
Houston might be the only one, and even then it's too early to say.It's not just the Big East. Is there a program that has gotten better after moving from their conference? I don't think so. Nebraska? Texas Tech? Missouri? Maryland? Miami?
We are likely the only one, but the move was basketball related - not football. They might get richer, but not more competitive.
They keep saying that, like wgaf. I'll take two in a row, Kansas can have their December victory. Not even Seton Hall fans are that insufferable and they had a better win, creamed a healthy uconn by 15. Creighton too, brags a lot less with a larger win over a healthy uconn.Found this on IG.

Louisville fell so far they didn't even make your list of programs that have fallenLook how far ND, Cuse, Pitt.,BC West Vir. have fallen in Basketball since they left the Big East.

Well, we beat the champs so we must be better than the champs. This would mean that every rightful champion must go undefeated, which never happens. Argument over.
only game we lost all year when completely healthy was at Creighton when they shot lights out (15 3’s I believe).They keep saying that, like wgaf.

Yes. Correct and correctUm...that would be the transitive property. Also, I would throw out Creighton as a team that got better when it switched conferences.
