If I recall correctly, wasn't Notre Dame #8 or something in the early goings of the season?

They were certainly overrated early. Can't deny that...

Georgetown also made it in the top 10 around a month ago if I recall correctly.

How about when they were #12 when this thread was started.

 

Just for point of reference, the AP rankings when this thread began vs now.

 

1 - Pitt

4 - UConn

8 - Cuse

12 - ND

13 - Gtown

14 - Marquette

20 - UofL

23 - Nova

Which was a result of beating Maryland, Memphis and UConn. Since then their youth has become an issue and they are free falling...

Look it up. I've never been big on this ND squad. They play well at home, awful on the road and act like defense is a word from a foreign language...

GTown has enough talent to be a major factor in March, but until Wright and Monroe learn how to execute the Princeton offense they will have major problems...

While I think the Big East is brilliant and as good as I've seen in awhile. Don't kid yourself, there can certainly be an argument that the ACC matches up. You could certainly argue, with validity, for either to be better.

 

Still arguing with validity, RP? :sssh:

 

 

Five of the last eight...possibly three quarters of the final four, but no less than half, belongs to the Big East.

 

Only one Big East team lost in the opening round. Four of the ACC's teams did. Five Big East teams in the Sweet 16 vs. two from the ACC.

 

Four Big East teams in the Elite 8 vs. one from the ACC.

 

Overall tournament record to date...

 

Big East = 17-4

ACC = 6-6

 

 

 

Thought it might be a good time to re-visit this one...guess I wasn't kidding myself after all. :idunno:

 

The ACC, like every other conference this year, just doesn't measure up with the BEast.

Wouldn't that be 17-3 against the other conferences?

Been waiting for someone to bring this up again, funny how it hasn't been mentioned...

If you want to state it that way, yes.

 

I just prefer their overall tournament record. It's going to be impressive enough if they don't win another game.

Selective amnesia I guess...
