Getting Georgetown Into NCAA's

How about the 2 years MU had after the final 4? Still somehow managed to recruit Wes, Jerel, and DJ and start the latest run.......

That was also when they were in the best basketball conference in the country. They can't even win in this souped up version of CUSA. You don't think recruits notice that stuff??

But you are the one that actually wants us to be in a worse conference by not wanting other BE teams to succeed.

No...Since MU is stuck in this crap conference I want them to do what they SHOULD do and that's to blow through it. Not finish in the bottom half and get blown out by teams like St. John's. That's what I want. I love how all of you just blow this season off as "it happens". Okay, when's the last time it happened to MU?? When's the last time it happened to Louisville?? When's the last time it happened to UW for cripes sakes. When's the last time it happened to Gonzaga?? or Kansas...should I keep going??

It would be one thing if everyone knew this would be a down year...that happens. But for a team to fall so far below expectations like this one has?? We maybe have ot accept it, but I sure as hell don't like it, and some of you seem to be accepting of it, and okay with it. You should be pissed off, is what you should be.

No? You just said up above that you didn't want Georgetown to beat MSU. You don't want Villanova to succeed. Don't you understand that you should want Marquette to finish win a conference where every other conference team wins every single non-conference game? Seriously, stop complaining about a "crap conference" when what you seemingly want is every other conference members to fail. That's what creates a "crap conference."

You come off as just a random angry dude. No logic whatsoever.

It's a crap conference regardless of how these teams do in the non conference. That's not going to change. Again, since it is a crap conference, I'd be fine with it, IF MU would be doing what they are supposed to be doing. The fact that teams that were supposed to finish below MU this year(and that would be 9 of them), are all for the most part doing what MU is supposed to be doing only makes MU look worse. The ONLY solace I took in their move to this new conference was that i figured conference championships(like Memphis) would be a yearly occurrence. And you hear no one talk about how tough the BE is. Why?? Honestly a lot of that probably has to do with the conference's predicted champion(consensus), is struggling so bad. That doesn't at all help their perception. Especially in year one. MU was supposed to carry the torch. And they haven't struggled because the other teams have just all been so good, they have struggled because they have just been awful. Period.

That is absolutely false. If other teams beat top ranked teams...make final fours...win championships. That's what makes good conferences. What do you think made the BE that Marquette joined? Georgetown...Villanova...St. Johns...

Next year we will have at least nine underclass men. We don't even have that many available scholarships after that. As usual, you are blowing things way out of proportion.

Right, so logically they shouldn't be good next year either, but THAT would have been understandable. No one would have expected them to be that good(myself included), but this year?? So that would be likely two straight years without making the NCAAs, if that isn't troublesome to all of you, I don't know what is?? Or have you all quickly forgotten where MU was just a year ago...or the year prior, or the year prior or...you get my point. Once is an accident...twice is a mistake..three times a trend.
