I'm not sure of the first point. I wouldn't doubt it but doesn't UW have a title? And OU is obviously a huge program with cu being a pretty solid power as well. I mean, I get that LA probably runs that conference but between those three and the fact that Stanford is 6 hours north of LA there is a bit more north-south balance, IMO.

Regardless, I've argued this point way too often and I'm fine with people disagreeing with me. I would much rather be in a northeast conference. I loved BE hoops and all those road trips (Provy, Uconn, Sju, the hall, nova and especially g'town). Playing out of conference is ok but not the same. I loved MSG for the tournament. I've probably gone 12 of the last 15 years.

So while we didn't lose much of anything from the 'ball side, losing our presence in all those key northeast city is an absolute loss for hoops. And I really don't buy what we've gained. I was ok before UMD left but now? A bunch of good football teams but nobody outside of BC that has any regional tie whatsoever. Duke/unc should be cool I guess. I don't know.

Listen, we did what we had to do. It's ok but I hardly view SU in any sort of cat bird seat.
