I thought that the purpose of DePaul being in the Big East was to give the BE a Midwest exposure. Like having
Fordham was to give the A10 a NYC exposure.
We have lost at Fordham \ Rose Hill more than once. I was there during the Tony Stanley days when we lost at Fordham. I agree that a loss to Fordham hurts more. UD has a strong NYC metro area following, alumni and history. We came into NYC beating our chests as a big Midwest power and then getting on the team bus and sneaking out of town.
I think it was 1966 and I will never forget being at MSG when we beat Houston, who had Elvin Hayes and Don Chaney. Looked like a big Midwest power that day beating another Midwest power.
