OT: Big East Tournament
- Thread starter MadRU
- Start date
One or two highly ranked teams does not make a good conference.
Gonzaga is a national power but the WCC is weak.
my point is that I don’t think they are worthy of being top 20 teams
Big East = ACC football. 1 great team, a second team always lurking due to playing #1 team close or beating them now and then, rest stink
Most of that conference this year is Ugly basketball. Such horrid basketball. Besides UConn, Nova and Creighton, that is 1 awful conference.
Really haven’t watched much of the big east, just some in passing. Guess I am spoiled watching the B1G.
I know it’s a different conference, but we were awful in that league . We also wrongly turned down that league before going there and being awful. We don’t need to talk sh$t about it . We are in a better place now .
Do we get updates from the MAAC and Ohio valley tournaments? Or any other mid major league .. Villanova Butler/Creighton will be a nice champ game but up until then it’s basketball worse to watch than some good AAU games
Xavier might have played themselves out of the tourney lmao
The big east is TERRIBLE

Wednesday and Thursday of the BET were my favorite days of the sports calendar for a while. Loved it when there were 13 teams in the tournament and 4 thru 13 were playing that first day. Then when they pared it down to 12 there were only 4 games but it felt like the competition was a little better, no one was there by default. Then on Day 2 you would get the big fish on the court against upset-minded teams and sometimes some legit top 25 matchups. The energy of the Garden... the day games making it feel like a holiday... it was a holiday in my house.
The Big East is fine, it’s still like the fourth best conference this year and was second best last year. It is clearly still a power conference.
There's only 5 power conferences. The Big East claiming there are 6 power conferences is like the AAC claiming there are 6 power conferences. Only difference is the basketball nerds wax poetic and long for the old Big East so they pump up the conference to be something it isn't.
Nah the difference is the Big East actually plays good basketball. They have way more case for being a basketball power conference than the Pac 12 does.
Will this be Depauls first ever BET win? They’re a perennial dreg.
We should literally NEVER have threads about this conference again.
Thank you! No reason for this board to be talking about the Big East more than our own conference tournament.
Alternatively we could not play board police and just not enter threads about conference tournaments we don't care about.
The Big East tournament is well underway with NCAA implications and our tournament is just the bottom-feeders tonight.
If we are truly secure in the fact that we are in a better place now then presumably we could talk about the Big East normally instead of pretending it's a mid major conference and telling people not to talk about it.
