fishie, WV, pitt, and cuse are seeded 2, 3, and 1 respectively. they had BETTER roll in the 1st round, but it wont impress anyone. the true tests will be when they play the tougher teams down the way in the bracket. stay tuned.....Originally posted by msec512Comment -
Big East is so bad it is not even fun to continue to point it out, gets tiresomeComment -
out of all the BE teams I thought Pitt was the most over-rated, and over-seeded......
go figureComment -
BE had a strong showing thus far today, maybe its the middle of the pack thats just overrated (i'd consider nova to be in the middle of the pack as well)Comment -

i think it's pretty clear the big east was way over-hyped, i'm just wondering why only a handful of us
could see this BEFORE the conference tourneys even started, let alone the ncaa tourney. all it took
was just a little research of what EACH team lost before the season startedComment -
I still find it odd, that even the Big East coaches, who know exactly who left and who is coming in and what players that were reserves in 08-09 would be key players in 09-10....... they couldn't even get a handle on who would be good or bad this year....
Cuse and Pitt were supposed to have down years....they were picked 6th and 8th in the preseason big east poll.... they both lost a ton of talent/starters from last year
they finished 1-2 in conference play.
Marquette was picked 12th in big east preseason polls...they may have lost the most or 2nd most talent from last year.... they finished 11-7 and 5th
Conversely Uconn was picked to finish 3rd and they finished 7-11 and in 12th place....
if the coaches can't do it pre-season, i'm not sure casual fans and even the sharpest bettors can expect toComment -
Arch, cuse and pitt were major surprises, i don't think ANYONE knew theyd do that well in the conf, but it was more about the REST of the conf being so avg that helped cuse (and esp pitt) look better than they actually are (or were). picking the order of the conf is one thing, but just having the simple foresight to see that this yr they would have an unusually poor showing in the ncaa tourney was pretty easy to see. at least it was for me. i just find it funny how so many media outlets (esp the espn guys) are acting so surprised. their excuse: the big east beats up on each other all yr. well, if that's the answer, how did 3 big east teams make it so far last yr?
i should be in the sports media, i guessComment -
also Archie, i bet you the coaches don't study the shit out of the teams in their conference in the pre-season. i bet they study each team in the days leading up to the gm vs them. if you look too far ahead, you'll lose to the teams you're playing that wk. the coaches have better things to do then study every team in their conf a month before their preseason weak ass gms even beginComment -
a sharp bettor knows way more about the opponents before the season starts than the vast majority of coaches doComment -
Big East is definitely NOT overrated, but THIS PARTICULAR YEAR there is a dearth of fully matured teams in the Big East. The fully matured teams in other conferences are making strides.Comment -
in the final AP poll of the reg season, the Big Least had 5 teams ranked in the top 18, and the major sports media outlets pimping the big east all season long, then 6 of the 8 big east tourney teams lose in the first 2 rounds of the tournament (5 of the 6 to lower seeds), yet the big is "definitely NOT overrated" ???Originally posted by Snowball
i ask you this question seriously: ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUKKING MIND???Comment -
a) the two best BE teams are still left.
b) they could meet in the final.
c) Syracuse is the most well rounded team left in the dance.Comment -
1) it's only the sweet 16Originally posted by bruceBRUCEbruce
2) they will NOT meet in the final
3) that is only an opinion. i think duke is the most well rounded team left.
4) 6 of the 8 big east teams in the dance did not even make the 2nd wknd and 5 of those 6 lost to lower seeds.
face the truth, or continue being a homer and a losing bettor. i am not a big east hater, just a teller of the truth. face the truth, it sets you free (and helps you win in sports betting), trust meComment -
All true. And the Big East is still overratedOriginally posted by bruceBRUCEbruce
If the two Big East teams meet for the championship (which would not surprise me either), it still would not change the fact that they are the only two teams in the conference that are worth a damn.Comment -
I could easily see them meeting in the final, but read the rest of my last post (#88)Originally posted by hoopster42Comment -
Biiig East blows. Big Ten will run the rest of this tournament as it already has
Comment -
purdue won't beat duke, and mich state will likely lose to northern iowa not that lucas is definitely out. ohio st got the gift of the century w/kansas losing in their bracketOriginally posted by icsky3Biiig East blows. Big Ten will run the rest of this tournament as it already hasComment -
