Wow! It’s almost like the Big East is a power conference and the AAC isn’t!

Watching clips of youtube of some of our new and old conference mates, it's unmistakable how much better the atmospheres are at the Big East schools. Sold out crowds. Energy. Even at Creighton. Compare that to some of the morgues we were playing in at the AAC.

As for Katz top 36- Seton Hall (7th?!?), Villanova (14th), Xavier (15th), Georgetown (19th ?!), Marquette (24th), Providence (30th) In the mix- Creighton, Butler, UConn

Everyone but St. John's and DePaul

AAC- Memphis (10th), Houston (28th), USF (36th) In the mix- Cincinnati

 

[goskis2018]

Do you guys really put that much stock into Andy Katz's opinion?

This just confirms why this was the right move for BB.

Lol what do you mean “even at Creighton”? They have one of the best fan bases in our conference (just wanted to type that)

lol no but it’a a fairly hilarious datapoint for the aac truthers.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Man it feels good to look at these power rankings and not really care about where Central Florida and Southern Methodist University are ranked anymore.

Adios AAC.

A little interview with Katz and Calhoun imbedded in that page also.

The conversation between Andy Katz and Calhoun was good. Still only understood every 3rd word he said. "The more things change, the more they stay the same"

 

[Walker11]

I think many fans here only follow UConn and who UConn plays and don't realize the jump many of these programs made after the Big East disbanded.

Creighton might have the best fans of any school outside the P5. They pack everything. Going to have very fun away games there in many sports

 

[AllAbout5]

36. USF
MIX Cincy

The Big East is better but the fact that USF is ranked over Cincy is something i don’t like. Do they still have cumberland?

At one point Marquette was #2 on ESPN before they dropped. I forget why they dropped. Help me out

2 seems way high but the Hauser bros transferred to UVA and MSU respectively.

Agreed, a lot of this board seems to only watch UConn games and because of that they've forgotten what exciting conference basketball looks like. I never stopped watching Big East basketball and the atmosphere is just about as good as it gets, it's night and day from the AAC.

 

[StunningSteve]

Lol That’s not data.

Data is the most recent tourney bids and w/l..
That’s just a list of teams that Katz is paying the most attention to.

yes because perception means nothing in cbb and all the polls don’t correlate

go watch your mid-major league

the ECU board is also called the Boneyard. @Penfield is the best poster on their board.

Lol if you think there is such an enormous difference between the 5th & 6th place leagues (in another bad year for UConn and Memphis/WSU reloading), I won’t argue. If you think that’s enough of a gulf to cripple football, and neuter baseball and fork over 12 million on exit fees, I won’t argue.

I appreciate the perspective.

You are picking an outlier year. It was a down year for the Big East and an up year for the AAC.

This year it will be 2 or 3 vs. 6 or 7. Which is what it has been every other year.
