March 26, 201313 yr ^ The depth is what made it great. If championships meant a conference was great, then we'd all be talking about how wonderful SEC hoops is -- but anyone with a pair of eyeballs knows that's ludicrous -- and Kansas winning a title in 2008 didn't make the Big XII anything other than what it already was... soft.

Depth is what made it the best but best of all-time? I always heard how it was the SEC football of basketball but to do that you must be deep and dominate titles.
March 26, 201313 yr Depth is what made it the best but best of all-time? I always heard how it was the SEC football of basketball but to do that you must be deep and dominate titles. I'd argue that Big East basketball is (or was) deeper than SEC football... JMO.
March 26, 201313 yr Depth is what made it the best but best of all-time? I always heard how it was the SEC football of basketball but to do that you must be deep and dominate titles. I wish Big East basketball could assemble titles in the way SEC football does. I wonder how that UofL-Gonzaga title game would've gone this year? Probably about the same as the Alabama-Notre Dame matchup back in January.

March 26, 201313 yr If basketball's postseason were like football's, it would be. Really? How often does a Big East team finish 1 or 2 in the polls? Certainly not EVERY year.

March 26, 201313 yr I'd argue that Big East basketball is (or was) deeper than SEC football... JMO. Certainly comparable but would be hard to prove one over the other. It is obvious that the elite SEC football is ahead of the elite Big East basketball though.

March 26, 201313 yr I think the committee had UL 1 and IU 2. Got it. I just took the college football system as close as I could and so used polling average to determine No. 1 and No. 2. AP: Gonzaga 1, Louisville 2 (Indiana 4) USA Today: Gonzaga 1, Louisville 2 (Indiana 4) Sagarin: Louisville 1, Florida 2 (Indiana 3) RPI: Duke 1, New Mexico 2 (Interesting numbers: Louisville 3, Gonzaga 6, IU 7) ESPN BPI: Louisville 1, Florida 2 (IU 4)
March 26, 201313 yr I think the committee had UL 1 and IU 2. On the selection show, they declared Kansas to be the second overall seed, actually.

March 26, 201313 yr Gotcha, I thought it was IU for some reason, knew it wasn't Gonzaga. You can be forgiven for thinking it was IU, as Kansas being the second overall seed ahead of them is B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
