Title: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 20, 2011, 02:03:48 PM I love it. They had 11 teams sent to the NCAA Tourney based on their reputation, but so far, only 2 teams have made it to the Sweet 16, the same as the Mountain West.

Year in and year out the northeastern media hypes the big east. The Big East has won 2 NCs in the last 10 years, the SEC 2, and the ACC has won 5.#+ http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/story/Big-East-hurting-and-other-NCAA-tournament-third-round-action-031911 (http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/story/Big-East-hurting-and-other-NCAA-tournament-third-round-action-031911) Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: carl childers on March 20, 2011, 04:40:34 PM Was watching coverage and Charles Barkley called them the Big Least - said they would be lucky to get 5 teams through the weekend. Good call, Round Mound.

Good call, Round Mound. Yeah, when he made that comment, the other "expets" laughed at him. Right now, the best the Big East will get to the Sweet 16 is four teams, assuing UCONN beats FSU today. Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: ricky023 on March 20, 2011, 05:13:11 PM Well I know how to stop UConn from beating FSU, I picked UConn. LOL. RTR!
Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 20, 2011, 07:35:42 PM I don't know. UCONN is playing like they are on a mission. They have looked awesome the past few weeks.

Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: JodyBaker22 on March 20, 2011, 08:45:37 PM I don't think they were overrated... just beat up on themselves throughout the season. Kinda gets tiring by the end of the year. (Let me also add I may feel that way because St. Johns and Pitt really let me down)
Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: Jamos on March 20, 2011, 08:47:10 PM Something like the SEC
Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: BAMAWV on March 20, 2011, 08:48:54 PM Big East 3 seed bites the dust. Syracuse gone.
Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: JodyBaker22 on March 20, 2011, 08:53:40 PM Okay.... lets add Syracuse to Big East teams that let me down.

The bottom line is they sent 11 teams to the tourney and, so far, only 4 have made it to the Sweet 16.

Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: SUPERCOACH on March 20, 2011, 09:16:16 PM It was Marquette vs. Syracuse. Even the Big East couldn't lose that matchup. :D
Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: SUPERCOACH on March 20, 2011, 09:19:11 PM I just checked the bracket and those are the only two I recognized. Notre Dame is still playing but were losing the last I heard.

Notre Dame is still playing but were losing the last I heard. Right. As of now, they have put 2 in the Sweet 16,--the same as the SEC. BTW, ND losing by 10. LOLTitle: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: SUPERCOACH on March 20, 2011, 09:21:10 PM It was also UConn vs. Cincinnati. Another one were the Big East had to win. So the only 2 to advance so far were in games with another Big East team and one of them had to win.
Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: BAMAWV on March 20, 2011, 09:24:06 PM It was also UConn vs. Cincinnati. Another one were the Big East had to win. So the only 2 to advance so far were in games with another Big East team and one of them had to win. We've all seen SEC teams lose head to head in the tourney. Come tourney time it is every man (team) for themselves.Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: Chechem on March 20, 2011, 09:27:53 PM Sir Charles was trashing the Big East again after the Tx - Arizona game. He was being a jerk, but he was right.
Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 20, 2011, 09:30:09 PM Yeah, I misspoke. I meant the best they could do was to place 4 in the Sweet 16 at this stage of the Tourney. FSU is giving Notre Dame fits. I had ND in the Final Four.
:o Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: SUPERCOACH on March 20, 2011, 09:30:53 PM It was also UConn vs. Cincinnati.

We've all seen SEC teams lose head to head in the tourney. Come tourney time it is every man (team) for themselves.Sure but my point is that if they had not been playing amongst themselves they could very well be 0 for 11 instead of 2 for 11, which is bad enough. Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: BAMAWV on March 20, 2011, 09:32:58 PM Yeah, I misspoke.

Smith said it earlier, but I hate ND worse than I love my bracket.:o Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: Marshal Dillon on March 20, 2011, 09:47:57 PM Yeah, I misspoke.

FSU is slaping them around like a $2 ho. :o Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: Jamos on March 21, 2011, 06:36:51 AM I guess if you put your whole conference in the tournament, playing yourselves is bound to happen.

http://msn.foxsports.com/collegebasketball/story/NCAA-tournament-Big-East-decimated-after-first-weekend-032011 ACC – 3 Big Ten – 2 SEC – 2 Big East – 2 Mountain West – 2 Big 12 – 1 Pac-10 – 1 A-10 – 1 CAA – 1 Horizon - 1 Title: Re: The Big East Appears to Have Been Overrated in BB This Year-LINK Post by: ricky023 on March 21, 2011, 11:34:45 AM I agree with Charles Barkely, these teams got in on Name alone. They should have only had 8 teams in the tourney. RTR!
