Big east champions with only a 6 man rotation......great job

Now he can denigrate Iona even more. You can congratulate him, I'll pass. And b/t/w, make that Big East with an asterisk, because the BE w/o Syracuse, Pitt, ND, Louisville and others, is really the Not-So Big East.

Please delete this thread dawg, go put this on the providence or Fairfield board.

Hey, it was a great job beating the 14 ranked team to get to the tournament. Congrats. Good to see a guy who couldn't win in the MAAC successful in a diluted big east!

Now now. We do not speak ill of anyone when posting
on this board. It's been censored. He is a wonderful man, great coach and perfect hair.

Congrats to Patchhead.

Watched the final against Creighton. Cotton is exceptional, everyone makes their free throws and the team seemed very aggressive on defense. Looked like a watered down version of San Diego St, but fun to watch none the less.

Dave Gavitt must be spinning in his grave, to see the winner of the BE tourney, "earn" an eleven seed. How the mighty have fallen. And please don't tell him that the A10 got more teams into the tourney. Now Fordham fans will think that they have a shot at the postseason, next year.

Not impressed, The Big East now is horrible and a shell of what it was. Upsetting but not really a great accomplishment when you lose 5 ranked teams in one year.

big east is watered down however--cooley has brought a team that hasn't been to the ncaa's in a decade ...back from the dead...he is similar to lavin in recruiting and a little sharper of a coach during games...he is a winner...everywhere he goes he wins...just like tim cluess.....and I know big ed...he is such a nice guy..im happy for him

Tiger, what I think you're trying to say, "In the land of the blind, the one eyed rule".

Bullock, a Rivals Top 150 recruit from Hampton, Va., is still on Providence’s roster and has been practicing with the team – a team that just won the Big East tournament to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. On the other hand, Austin, a Rivals Top 50 recruit from Philadelphia, opted to transfer in January and has subsequently enrolled at the University of Oregon.
