@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.

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

@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.

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
@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
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.
Sidelines Villanova@SSN_Nova
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
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.

@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.

@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
English
@F34THRS Explain it to me because I've heard it since Villanova was the team winning titles.
English
@MyNumbersGarden this is the take of someone who doesn’t understand how ball works
English
@SimbaWalker6x I honestly used to. I enjoyed the first title run, but I don't get state pride that way. To me, it's like the Pats. the Chiefs, the Warriors after awhile. If I'm not a die hard it's old for me. My quality of life in Connecticut doesn't change because of it. If it did, go UCONN.
English
@SimbaWalker6x If I felt that Connecticut titles would upgrade the talent level of the teams in the conference as a result, I'd feel much differently.
English
@SimbaWalker6x Look, I'm not arguing the success of Connecticut and they deserve a ton of respect. I'm looking at this through a Xavier lens and my point is, their success doesn't change anything for my team. That's reality.
English
@xubelle11 Root for who you want. I know I'm in the minority here. I just never root for UCONN so the tournament isn't when I'll start. I don't feel conference pride that way. I'm a Yankees fan but don't root for the Red Sox in the playoffs. That's how I'm wired.
English
@MyNumbersGarden Who exactly should Xavier fans be rooting for? This is a weird take. Support your conference
English
@mattkoenig1975 When Xavier reaps the benefits with an on court product, come talk to me. Until then, I stand by my statements.
English
@MyNumbersGarden Disagree, the rest of the conference shares in NCAA tournament wins earnings.
English
@ZipEmUp12 I come at this as a CT resident. It's all I hear 24/7. It's frustrating to know X won't ever consistently compete in this landscape, so I just don't find their success to be a consolation prize. It's a reach.
