March 25, 201115 yr They are also the Biog East tourney Champs as well. Don't forget that also. I would say 16 regular season games is a better judge of how your conference season went rather than a 5 day tournament.
March 25, 201115 yr I would say 16 regular season games is a better judge of how your conference season went rather than a 5 day tournament. 18 regular season games. UConn went 9-9...
March 25, 201115 yr They were also a 3 seed in the tourney so its not like a big east scrub is running thru the tournament. They were also a 9 seed in the Big East, so it's not like they ran through the league...
March 25, 201115 yr This thread is starting to get laughable once again. Love the reaching and justifying.
March 25, 201115 yr 18 regular season games. UConn went 9-9... My bad you're right 18 games. That to me is more telling of how tough the Big East is rather than Kemba getting hot for a weekend.
March 25, 201115 yr 5 games in 5 days and then winning in game 5 is nuts, IMO. I bashed the Big East's performance but that 5 game run may never be duplicated. UConn had to win 5 games in 5 days for a 3 seed. What seed would that have been had they lost?

UConn had to win 5 games in 5 days for a 3 seed. What seed would that have been had they lost? I agree and wonder the same thing myself. It was a given that they were going to be in the tournament, but if it had not been for playing as many games as they had in the conference tournament and winning it all, their seeding could have been significantly different. You also bring up a good point about rather or not someone will win this conference tournament the same way in which they did. It is possible, but I don't see it as very likely.

Strange.
March 25, 201115 yr Thay aren't going to be right every time, but they are better than anyone else. That was a weak argument. The 9th place Big East team is in the Elite 8 by the way. And so is an 8 seed Butler...
March 25, 201115 yr And so is an 8 seed Butler... I don't get your argument. Butler was 2nd in their conference. UConn was 9th. The 9th place team from a "bad" conference is in the Elite 8 and they're favored to make the Final 4. Not terrible for a bad conference.
March 25, 201115 yr Don't even try to use this justification to make the Big East look better. Give me a break I don't get your argument. Butler was 2nd in their conference. UConn was 9th. The 9th place team from a "bad" conference is in the Elite 8 and they're favored to make the Final 4. Not terrible for a bad conference.
March 25, 201115 yr Don't even try to use this justification to make the Big East look better. Give me a break True or false? The 9th place team from a conference everyone was pounding last weekend is in the Elite 8?
March 25, 201115 yr True or false? The 9th place team from a conference everyone was pounding last weekend is in the Elite 8? True or false? That 9th place team was the conference tourney champ? True or false? The top 5 teams from the conference lost to significantly lower seeded teams? Ride #9 all you want when your top 5 teams went down to Butler, Florida State, Marquette, Morehead St, and Gonzaga. Real murderer's row there.
March 25, 201115 yr Are you saying that UCONN was rewarded for their post season success? Wonder why other teams were not? Strange. Food for thought ... U Conn is undefeated outside the Big East this season. Yes, their out of conference schedule wasn't a world beater but if they lose another game, it will be their first loss all year to a non Big East team, unless they lose to Marquette in the semi finals.
