I guess I'll bite. Is that the conference that has won the last 2 national champioships? B/c I heard the last two came from the same conference.

I was actually just kidding you, but didn't you think that comment was bound to come from someone?

 

The Big East is tought to argue w/ in basketball right now top to bottom, but if we're just talking the top 2 or 3 teams I'm not sure I'm ready to give it to them.

...and I guess you'll be waiving a UofL flag and chanting "Go Big East" when they make it to the Final 4?

 

:sssh: ;):D

 

I agree 100% GT about the homers

The top two or three teams are just prone to the rigors of playing in such a tough conference. The night in and night out physicality, size and speed is too great to expect a record like teams from other conferences can pile up... :jump:

I don't mind UL at all. They have pretty much been a twin brother to UC through the conference changes and trying to get on a level playing field with the big boys. When it's UC/UL week, I'm not much of a fan... :D

But does it prepare the top two teams for the tourney like it does a football team for a one game national championship? Obviously not. There are many factors, but if you put the SEC football champion in a one game winner takes all against whoever the computer decides is the best challenge they will fare pretty well. I'm not so sure the Big East schedule gets a team any more ready for a 6 game tourney than say Conference USA. You're not either that's why you like Memphis. The Big East is a beast but if you add 4 schools to the SEC, ACC, or 6 to the Pac 10 they would be just as strong.

I don't know about speed...it is well known for its brutality.
