Big East in the House! Three members of this year's Sweet Sixteen!

Can’t believe acc has 4. Maybe capel was right.

 

[giddyup]

Imagine if we had more than 3 to start with.

Interesting, the "church league", as someone described it, has more Sweet 16 teams than the "vaunted" Big 12.

Don’t mind the ACC having 4. Having more than the SEC, B-12 and B1G is satisfying

I thought this thread was about our 3 pt shooting. I was going to correct you with 3 of 22.

Let Creighton and Marquette celebrate this on their boards.

"Just the quality of the league; look what we've done in nonconference games," Hurley said in defense of the Big East on Sunday. "I don't know what our record is the last two years, nonconference [multi-team events], NCAA tournament, and Seton Hall beat us by 15. You know, we've won eight straight in this tournament, all by significant margins, and they were good enough to beat us and they were good enough to beat Marquette.

"And there should have been five or six Big East teams in this tournament. You've seen how other leagues that got the bids that our league deserved has underperformed."

UConn's Hurley laments 'mistake' with Big East 6-0

With all three Big East teams into the Sweet 16, UConn coach Dan Hurley says the conference should have had more teams in the tourney.

Hurley is pointing out the obvious. The efficiency ratings are garbage.

I'm excited to watch these numbers keep dropping.

And yet of the top 14 on Kenpom, 13 are in the sweet sixteen. SDSU is #17, Clemson 23. NC State is the only really bugaboo at #52 but then again they are a surprise 11 seed who got the Auto bid.

And the Mountain West too. Not that it will matter much Selection Sunday 2025

I thought that was the Cincy advances in the NIT celebration dance?

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Kobe loves being in the big 12 so much he spends most of his time on a Big East team message board

 

[uconngb]

Big 12 has 2 left out of 8. Power conference?? More like overrated. But hey, one team is still alive in the all important NIT.

Lolololol

@kobe when his team is in a mid-February barn burner against UCF in a game with serious NIT implications

 

[Brochacho]

Is this really that impressive? I guess it’s good no one was upset but UConn was the only team to play a single-digit seed and Colorado and Oregon gave Marquette and Creighton all they could handle. Let’s see how this weekend goes before we consider the conference strength.
