Butler has been enormously successful recently making the 3 all-time powerhouses, in this conference, kinda look foolish with their recent body of work so everybody respects them. The problem is you guys made the biggest jump to major of any of the teams (even if you throw MU and Depaul from the CUSA days in there) so you are going to get hated on. I hope you guys continue to have success and find another player in line with Korver and McDermott but right now doubt is going to be cast on your program's future by other fans. (if anythings weird about this post my bad I've had some wine with dinner)

But reality is: creighton has 3 tournament wins in 20 yrs with only 9 appearances.
Villanova, georgetown, marquette, xavier and butler (five of the teams) have 3 tournament wins in a single season multiple times in the past 20 yrs.
Sorry, but I'm not impressed by cbi or nit or cit wins. Those tournaments are cause to be fired for your coach.

There are a lot of questions with Creighton- who in the last 6 years has only made the NCAA tourney(you know, the one that matters) 2x (and those 2 times with McDermott). So he goes now, and we're just supposed to think all is going to be hunky dory with you?
Also you didn't go up against a #1 seed last year in the 2nd round. Duke was a #2 seed(and you were a #7 seed). Right now, Bracketology has you as a 6 or 7 seed. Not much difference from last year.
I'm hoping Creighton will fare well- but to say they're on the same level as Georgetown, Marquette, and Villanova (along with Butler and Xavier)- is a complete joke. Creighton has NEVER been to the 2nd weekend of the NCAA tourney. All 5 of those others have been to at least the elite 8 within the last 5-6 years(with 4 of the 5 going to the final 4).
And what in the hell is a message board supposed to be if it's not for some debate? To just come on here to affirm what you think? Give me a break. This board to me is great because there is a very good debate of anything and everything. I might not agree with everything folks say, but it's a debate.
Friarfan2 wrote:$1.5 mil would put mcdermot at about 40th nationally. Definitely enough to keep him long term (more than buzz williams makes). Jay wright is the top paid in the conference at $2.4 mil, which makes him about 10th nationall, and oliver purnell is second at $2.1 mill, which makes people scratch their heads. Jtiii is about 1.8 mill.

As much as I would like to have a memory of it, Marquette hasn't gone to the Final Four since 2003...which is now beyond 10 years ago soo boooooooooooooo.

Regarding buzz's salary, do a search for the usa today ncaa basketball head coach salary database. They ran it for all tourney teams last year. It includes bonuses and endorsements, and it had buzz below $1.5 mil if I recall correctly.
Bluejay, I do have creighton above providence in my initial post. Don't be so insecure when people are discussing your team. You don't need to try to turn it around on the poster who is making an observation on your team. I know providence is in trouble, but that doesn't mean I can't comment on creighton.
