But the article went on to say how 6 and possible 7 teams from the B10 may get into the dance, where the Big East could end up with only 3.  I know we have 14 and they only have 10, but the point of the article was to say don't look at RPI as much as you think it matters.

 

You're taking the max possible of B1G teams making the tournament and the min possible of Big East teams between two conferences with non-equal amount of members as an argument?

 

ATM Bracketmatrix.com has in

 

7 of 14 B1G teams (50%)

5 of 10 Big East teams (50%)

 

I do think that the B1G is tougher than the Big East. However, it's still a power conference that is in the league of ACC, B1G, B12, SEC, etc.

 

 

No, it is not a power conference along the lines of those leagues. Power conferences have great athletic programs.  They generally have way more teams than the new watered down Big East.  They are somewhere a notch below.  How far below is debatable.  But it is not even close to as good a conference as the ACC Big 10 Big 12 etc.  Right now it is better than the SEC in basketball but it is cyclical and they typically aren't as good at the top anyway.  This conference plays in no mans land on FS1 that is struggling mightily.  Nothing screams power about it at all IMO. 

 

 

I would agree with this.  Good league...but I think in most peoples eyes they are not a power conference compared to the likes of the Big Ten/ACC.  The last current Big East team to win a National Title was Villanova and that was in 1985. The league needs to start producing come March and that likely starts with Villanova not pissing down their leg.

I would love to just finish strong, however that looks.  I'll never forget that game against Wichita State in the NIT.  That was a demoralized team/program.  I never want to be there again.

His left nut?  That seems to be the popular one.  Few people offer the right one.  Not sure why.

With Wiscos win tonight... if everything plays out as expected... our first 3 games would be (RUTGERS, WISCO, MICH ST)

Avoiding a Wednesday showdown with Minnesota or Rutgers really isn't right nut worthy.

 

 

Perhaps not, but I'd gladly give one for that elusive NCAA tournament victory.  Left or right; doesn't matter; not doing much for me these days anyway.

Damn, that was one game that was pissed away in the first 5 minutes of the 2nd half yet clawed back into it late. Kudos to Nebrasketball for never giving up, but that ending sucked. Senior Night in Lincoln better be lit. Shavon & Benny deserve a dub vs those Boiled eggs. And then payback vs the eggheads at NW.
