Not really and who says I am upset? I am confused more than anything. When it fits people's agenda a good Xs and Os coach is all that matters, when it doesn't success is ascribed to getting talent and motivating or assistant coaches or an empty chair. If someone can explain it to me, I would be thankful.

You can be a terrible Xs and Os coach and still win if you have the horses. See Williams, Roy

I think people presume BC is not going to lower standards too far for recruiting, nor will they hire someone that is a draw to the McD's crowd every year. Thus, BC needs an X's and O's coach. UNC does not, and Providence can survive without one.

That isn’t to say that I wish them ill, but I have not gotten excited about a Notre Dame basketball team since the days of Kelly Tripucka, Tracy Jackson, Rich Branning, Bill Laimbeer, Tim Andre, Joe Klein and the late, great Orlando Woolridge. That isn’t to say, I did not enjoy the David Rivers-Donald Royal-Gary Voce-Tim Kempton-Scott Hicks iteration that finished off the last iteration of the Michael Jordan-Sam Perkins-Kenny Smith UNC team or the more recent iteration that clobbered Duke in the ACC Championship and almost took out and Kentucky before following that up with taking out Wisconsin the following year, but I don’t go out of May to watch them.

The Bonnies are a different story. I will always root for a scrappy underdog team that does more with a hell of a lot less than it’s Conference brethren. I would like it a lot if BC embraces that attitude vis a vis the rest of the ACC instead of whining about land constraints and local politicians and academic expectations are the reason we can’t have nice things. Would love to see them win the A10 this weekend, which Lunardi thinks would get them up from an 8/9 to a 5 seed.


Congratulations. I know you have nothing but contempt for John Wooden and UCLA so you must be happy. :ace

Knocking off Hofstra was big, huge. With 6 games to go in the regular season (and 3 in the CAA tourney) we really need go 8-1 (winning all 3 in the CAA tourney) to get at least a 14 seed. Lose 2 and go to the dance and we are a 16 and well, that will pretty much be it.

If you win the CAA you’ll be in as a 14 or 15. If you don’t win the CAA you aren’t going. The CAA is no longer a two bid league since VCU and Mason departed for the A10. Bottom line is the P7 is busy trying to murder the mid-majors from a tournament perspective and the CAA doesn’t even rise to the level of a mid-major (like the A10, MVC, CUSA, etc.). In a few years, most of the mid-majors are going to struggle to get 2 bids and I think that trend will be reflected in this year’s selection.

Oh you are totally right. We need to win the CAA or it doesn't matter. What I am saying though is I think a 22-11 CAA champ will slip to 16 but a 23-10 champ might get a 14.

And once again (now for the second time) Bill Cohen and my Huskies are defending their CAA Conference Championship. It will be dicey, we lost our best player to graduation so I don't expect a repeat here. But with Bill anything is possible (anything that is, EXCEPT winning a tournament game in mid-March.)

I'll actually be in Las Vegas the weekend of March 20th (whole weekend.)

Harvard Crimson visit tonight. They usually beat our asses, so we'll see.

We are at Zoo-Mass on Tuesday. Holy Cross a week later. I like that my alma mater goes out of its way to schedule "out-of-conference" as many other division-1 Massachusetts schools as they can. Forget the benefit of minimal travel costs, its just good for college basketball in the Bay State. I wish BC were on that short list of opponents.

Jordan Roland sets an all-time Northeastern record for single game scoring at 44 points. He passes Reggie Lewis.

Well done Jordan. Well done team. Well done Bill Coen. On to UMass.

Come on don't even joke about this.

The only school he would leave Northeastern for to coach would be yours. And I don't think you guys really want him all that much. We (Northeastern) need him. I don't want him going anywhere.

3 straight conference championship games. Thank you Bill Coen.

And so it ends for the Huskies. In a strange twist of fate, I found myself at the Marriott Renaissance this morning at NY Ave and 9th this morning for an industry event. As it turns out, the industry event was actually at the Marriott Marquis at Mass Ave and 9th—basically across the street. However, when I mistakenly walked into the Renaissance, who should I run smack into but Bill Coen himself, as the Huskies were apparently staying at the Renaissance which is around the corner from Cap One, where I assume they were playing the CAA Tournament. He was just standing in the lobby by himself, but the business center had a “Welcome Northeastern Huskies” sign and the business center monitors listed the Huskies having a breakfast buffet in the Penn Quarter Ball Room from 9:30-11 (it also noted a postgame dinner in the same room from 10:30-Midnight so I assume they are there now, hopefully enjoying a lot of bread sticks in honor of IB.

In any case, I said hello to Coach Coen, identified myself as a BC grad and wished him good luck in the evening’s contest. He was very pleasant and we had a five minute conversation about the “diamonds in the rough” he helped develop at BC. Good guy and I think he was surprised to be recognized standing in a hotel lobby in DC. And then, I left and went to the Marquis.

I feel bad for the seniors like Roland. But Hofstra is a much better team. We hit them with everything we had, even had a slight lead at halftime. But we just couldn't keep the defensive pressure up like we needed it.

I think we are about a 50-50 shot at winning the CAA next year. We have the pieces, good underclassmen this year that contributed.
