Numbers are fun. Especially the good ones. Xavier, Yankees, Pacers, Jets. 🏆 aren't coming anytime soon.

@mattfolta Two things are true independent of one another. Connecticut was great. The Big East was not. If people are off by that take, I don't know what else to say.
English
The conference hasn't been good. I'd love for the conference to be great again, but it's hard to criticize the lack of respect. UCONN and St. John's have been good but UCONN is legitimately the only team in the BE that has a shot of winning a title every year.

Look, we dislike UConn and they dislike us back…but the Big East has been disrespected the last couple of years and it’s good to see the conference in the final 4, and we hope that the momentum continues with getting 5+ teams back in the tournament, like this conference deserves

@ZipEmUp12 On a non basketball level, I also don't like the school because I don't love the way they handled my daughter's cross country/track recruitment. Didn't sit well with me so I'll never root for them in anything. I respect what they've accomplished, but won't pull for them.
English
@ZipEmUp12 To me, if you take the money out of it, it would be like Bengals fans rooting for the Strelers and Ravens in the playoffs. It's just strange to me.
English
It's difficult and disappointing seeing Xavier fans celebrating Connecticut's success as their own because they play in the same conference. The harsh reality is Connecticut's success means nothing for Xavier's success. Root for who you want but try not to confuse things.
English
@mattfolta Deeper top to bottom. Sustained runs. Illinois, Michigan, MSU, Purdue all have solid levels of success. Add Iowa this year. It's deeper.
English
@MyNumbersGarden Yea Villanova and UConn are the only schools to win championships in the big east in the past 20 years sure how many different big 10 schools? How many different acc schools?
English
@Tylerrob02 Understood. Completely. But until it translates, it means nothing.
English
@MyNumbersGarden Yes it can. contributes to big east teams getting money which in this era can contribute to Xavier and other big east teams success lmao
English
@vollner_xiii @ZipEmUp12 The rest of the conference has also regressed, so you'll need a better reason than we all get rich off of Connecticut.
English
@vollner_xiii @ZipEmUp12 But so somehow I don't understand. That's my point. I've also said repeatedly when the money leads to success, I will happily do a 180 and change my tune.

Woah! Someone is hurting this evening. We love you, man.

@Coach_Swanson But those aren't valid arguments apparently because I'm not taking Connecticut's success as an accomplishment for Xavier basketball. They pounded us 3 times. Iron did not sharpen iron in that case.
English
@Coach_Swanson Connecticut will always be elite. That doesn't mean the conference is disrespected because only 3 teams got in. The 3rd team fell apart in round 1, teams 5 and up mostly had losing records overall, and St John's hasn't made it past the S16 despite it's improvement.
English
@vollner_xiii @ZipEmUp12 I said it once. Haha. How is it any different? I've been told my POV is ridiculously incorrect, but nobody has actually shared a great reason why.
English
@MyNumbersGarden @ZipEmUp12 You keep saying this but it’s such a shit correlation
English
@Coach_Swanson And now that you've put me in my place, explain to me how I'm wrong.
English
@Coach_Swanson Thank you for the insult. I'm not looking for a Twitter fanbase. I hope you continue to lead your followers well.
English
@Elitetakes513 @mattkoenig1975 I understand this. This is what people are trying to sell. And yet, Xavier's program has been worse. So what exactly am I missing? If this revenue stream meant success, I'd feel the exact opposite, but it doesn't. I don't see that money and my team isn't any better.
English
@MyNumbersGarden @mattkoenig1975 When a team advances every team in the conference gets paid which increases our revenue share which gives us more money to get better players.
English
@mattfolta Those conferences have been deeper overall.
English
@MyNumbersGarden Every conference has only 3 legitimate championship contenders acc is North Carolina and duke big 10 Michigan has been the only team able to make the championship in the past 20 years every conference has garbage big 12 has been the only conference with any real balance
