My 0.02:
Wow. Just a fantastic season for the Friars. First Big East regular season championship and their first Sweet 16 since 1997? That's pretty damn good! But MAN they're losing A LOT. Only (for now) returning 3 significant players. Now Ed Cooley is one of the best coaches in the country so I wouldn't completely count them out but as of now, I see an NIT-at-best year next season. But we shall see!

Hopefully with the fantastic season Cooley can reload in the transfer market.

Great season, but to think there won't always be a giant * is an illusion. Say what you want about the Cats last and the Covid impacted schedule last year, but the Friars went 1-3 against Nova and Creighton and PC didn't even make the trip to Omaha, so let's say 1-4. Then they caught a 12 seed in the NCAA. Geesh.

I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted, because my hunch is that this is the end of the road rather than the beginning of something big.

Croswell’s back, and Vill, don’t hold onto that hope. You will be very disappointed.

The biggest mystery is why some people from a school on the other side of the Mississippi have such an obsession with the Friars? I must say it is the only school with such readily available reasons or excuses for every loss they've ever encountered. Since joining the Big East and letting everyone know of your greatness only Villanova, Seton Hall, Georgetown, and Providence have won the Big East Championship. Your head to head against the luckiest team in America since joining the league is a losing 9-11 record. And an all-time losing record against America's luckiest team of 13-18. Yet the year in review is written and only commented on by the BirdShit fans? Go figure!

Um, it sounds like you're obsessed with them.

Haha you should probably take a shower and wash that sand out of your vagina. Sob sob its not fair that PC didn't have to play everyone and then they played a 12 seed...you sound pathetic

I would guess "Vill" is a Villanova fan east of the Mississippi... not Creighton, right?

Correct, not one of us.

[Omaha1]

Why are you attacking Creighton fans? I think the post season write ups are pretty awesome.
