Simple question - which one would you like your team to be?

Another ridiculous take on this. Nobody is comparing extremes. The question is would you rather finish 2nd in the regular season and win the BET or win the regular season and lose the championship game in the BET. That is a better comparison.


That’s not the question. The question is right there in the title. Which would you rather have?

Ridiculous is berating someone for feeling a different way than you do on something that’s debatable. Now that’s ridiculous.

Care to answer mine? Comparing extremes is ridiculous. If that was the intent of this thread then I should have stayed out of it.

Would you rather be a team that goes 0-12 OOC, then wins the "regular season championship" at 13-5 before getting bounced in the 1st round of the BET OR would you rather be a team that goes 12-0 OOC, finishes a close 2nd in the regular season at 15-3 and then wins the BET?

It's basically the same angle you just took.

It really is quite a simple preference. If you could finish 2nd in one and win the other which would it be? If the regular season “winner” is more important than the answer is easy.

Agreed. It's easy to draw up ridiculous scenarios favoring either one. The best way to look at it is if you can win 1 and finish 2nd in the other, which do you want?

I dunno, Providence finished tied for third that year and Creighton finished second. I'd happily drop a line in the regular season and take the trophy/banner every time.

I guess to me this is an opinion, and no one is wrong. We CAN have differing opinions still, right?

No, that's where you're wrong!

Gotta say the board has been a lot more lively this season. Nice having stuff like this debated, rather than a 498-page expansion debate.

IMO, only those who have at least one of each BEast banners can effectively comment on this topic. The reality is that the NBE still has that new car smell with a Nova air freshener hanging from the review.

As far as the 3 new members go, we here on Victory Parkway are very happy to be the 1st to hang one, but you really need to complete the set to get that perpetual smile.....obviously a FINAL FOUR BANNER or better is the ultimate "bling"!!

Let's put this to rest...from now on can whomever wins the regular season, please go to MSG and make no doubt to whom the true champion of the BE is?

Done.

Now can we please get back to whether we should add Duquesne or St. Bonaventure to our league. Jeez! :lol:

I just want to point out that starting next season, the regular season will be 20 games and will mean that much more to every team in the conference.

But yeah, back to talking which A10 team is the best candidate and why the AAC doomed.
