0-37, 1-53...

[Jake]

The first number is the combined basketball conference records of Rutgers, St. John's and BC, the second number is basketball plus football when you add in BC and Rutgers FB conference records this year.

If it weren't for a miraculous 30 point come from behind victory by the blight, it would be 0-54.

Sometimes, the jokes just write themselves.

South Florida 2-11 in the AAC, and Depaul 2-10 in the Big East are also terrible, but not surprising.

Its amusing that these 5 teams have taken the stink across 4 different conferences.

The old Big East 16, this year:
- 10 tourney level teams including Louisville. 9 teams currently in the tournament, but only 2 are top 4 seeds (Nova and West Virginia)
- Georgetown and Marquette as middle of the pick.
- 4 really bad teams. (At least they would be able to beat themselves)

What are Drummond's free throw shot attempts before and after the all-star break?

Of course, there is the SU SJU score. :noidea:

Not sure we should be the ones laughing. We have that double digit loss to the Johnnies that is as bad a loss as you'll see in college hoops this year.

But yeah, those are 3 disasters. The B1G must be loving having Rutgers.

Rutgers is just what they wanted--another MAC team to beat up on and improve their records.

Unfortunately St Johns smoked us this year (and beat us last year too)

Relating to Rutgers, noticed a blip at the very end of Jon Rothstein's column this morning in his notes section---I guess Rutgers' futility is starting to get noticed nationally---was quite surprised to read that they have now lost an insane 27 consecutive conference games! How is that even possible? Had no idea the streak was that long. (that's how little coverage they actually get here in NYC)

We're in great shape to be laughing.

BC has at least had a number of close games and not just to the bottom of the conference towards the end of this year. Rutgers closest conference loss was the first game of the year, surprisingly against Indiana(7 points) otherwise they have been blown out all season. (They almost beat St John's OOC losing by 2)

I believe if BC loses its last conference game later this week, it will be the first time a team lost all conference games in football in basketball in the Post World War II era. That was what was said on the Mike and Mike show earlier this week.

Just posted a throwback story on the lowest point in SU basketball history in today's daily articles, when SU lost 27 games in a row.

Guess who the team was that Syracuse finally beat to end the streak?

I posted this is another thread that despite all the arguments against it, wouldn't the ACC be better with off Yukon as a member instead of BC.

 

[RandygoCuse]

This takes me back to when Temple got kicked out of the conference. I know it also had to do with their meager attendance, but how long are the conferences going to tolerate being at the absolute bottom? Would they ever consider kicking them out if there are more winless seasons (which isn't out of the question)?

Boston is too valuable a market. Think BC can suck dirt as long as they need, and their football team although having a bad year in 2015, has had solid campaigns over the last few seasons. Certainly as good/better than SU.

I am not too convinced there are too many teams who have thrived since they left the Big East. For ex, whats SUs record the last three seasons before and after Big East? Judge for yourself. I know you can say that is mitigated by the ncaa thing, but fair question, who in ACC stood up for SU to ncaa before they made their ruling? Would like to know the answer to that one.

Updating a post I did last year:

SU football and basketball are the two sports that put this burg on the national map. Lacrosse doesn’t do that. The Crunch and the Chiefs don’t do that. I tend to look at the combined SU football and basketball seasons as one long season from September, (or August) to March, (or April), during which our teams try to make the sports world realize that “the Cuse is in the House”. Our combined record at this point this year is 23 wins and 19 losses, (4-8 + 19-11). Our last losing year was 2007-08 when G-Rob went 2-10 and a similarly banged-up basketball team went 21-14, losing in the NIT. Before that you have to go back to our last losing season, in basketball, 1968-69. Out best year ever was 1988-89 when our two teams were 40-10, +30. The worst was 1961-62, when they were 10-25, -15. That’s also the worst winning percentage, (or the best losing percentage?) 28.6%. The best winning percentage was 1925-26, 27-2, (93.1%).

I realize that this is skewed toward basketball as there are more games and that basketball wasn’t really a big time sport until the 60’s or the 70’s, but here is the total record since the basketball program began in 1900-01. I’ll ignore football ties. The negative years are in bold.

What value is the ACC getting out of the Boston market right now? None? Zero? Zilch?

BC has been bad for awhile and there is really no end in sight, when they left the Big East I don't think anybody noticed nor cared about them or their market. I'm willing to bet Uconn would be far more valuable financially and for making the conference better. BC is dead weight, time for them to go.

I guess I don't understand this business then, cause I thought it was all about TV's, whether they tuned in or not. Isnt that why Rutgers is in the B10 when no one in the greater NYC area watches them. Its about the other team they watch. The SU, Duke, UNC fans in Boston. Right? Way more people there than in Storrs CT.

The folly of the prevailing thinking is that they've turned conferences from groupings of natural rivals to schools that represent TV markets with a preference for the big cities when college sports is all about the smaller markets. They don't care about it in the big cities that have pro teams to root for.

First, B.C is a much better school. Second, B.C has had a lot of success in football. The most important sport in college sports. Certainly a lot more than UConn will ever dream of. Third, the schools want to visit Boston when they travel to a game. No one wants to go to Hartford or Storrs. There is a reason Boston College was taken and no one wants UConn years later.
