Fukk Off Big East Haters

rsnnh12 · 03-26-11, 08:19 PM

All it took was the Big East taking up 1/6th of the entire bracket....

Congrats?

BigDofBA · 03-26-11, 09:21 PM

LMAO.

Give any other conference that many teams and they would get someone there as well.

The Big East could only get two teams to the sweet 16 and that was because they played other Big East schools in the second round. Uconn is the only Big East team that has shown they are worth a damn.

Name another conference in history that had a team go .500 in the regular season and then reach the final four

BigDofBA · 03-26-11, 09:28 PM

So you're saying the Big East is great because one of their 11 teams made it to the Final four while their other teams got their asses kicked by the likes of George Mason, Morehead St., VCU, Gonzaga, etc????

Great logic.

Uconn is legit b/c they have two star players but other than that the Big East would have had only one team in the Sweet 16 had Syracuse and Marquette not matched up together. Marquette showed they were not worthy when they were down 40-15 at halftime to UNC.

It's pretty pathetic when you get that many teams into the tourney and you can only advance one to the elite 8 yet teams like Butler and VCU can get there.

The city of Richmond accomplished as much as the Big Least.

only things people keep track of is final fours and titles for conferences

uconn wins it all

Cool.

So I guess the Horizon Conference was better than the Big East last year because Butler made the Final Four and championship game.

Horizon > Big East

I'm glad we figured that out.

BettingWizard · 03-26-11, 09:37 PM

is the horizon going to have more final fours in even a 5 year span?

Just saying nobody keeps track of how many sweet 16's and elite 8's a conference has after a tournament is over.

will a 9th place horizon team ever make the tourney?

Quit acting like Uconn is the 9th best team in their conference. If they are, their conference sucks even more because they won their conference tournament.

BettingWizard · 03-26-11, 09:44 PM

uh yeah 18 games is a pretty big sample size, so yeah they were 9th best. If you wanna factor in the Big East tournament, then I guess that puts them at 4th or 5th

and no it doesn't show the conference sucks when Uconn had an impressive out of conference resume

BigDofBA · 03-26-11, 09:50 PM

Only shit conferences let the 9th place team win their conference tourney.

If you want to think the Big East is awesome when it got it's ass kicked in the tournament then fine. You're in the minority.

Morehead State beat L'Ville
George Mason beat Villanova
Gonzaga beat the shit out of St. Johns
Butler beat Pitt.

Mid-Majors dominated the Big East.

By the way, was Pitt the best team in the Big East??? If they were it just shows that the Horizon Champion is better than the Big East champion which further backs up that it's a better league....LMAO

Was Notre Dame the best team in the Big East??? They got destroyed by a mediocre ACC team. Just shows the ACC is much stronger.

ringemup · 03-26-11, 11:03 PM

no offense but if u put this uconn team in the same tournament the year you had four no.1s in the final four this team would have been out by the end of the second round. They are only a product of how weak the big programs have gotten over the last few years. The talent is just not as elite at the top as it once was.

romoney · 03-26-11, 11:07 PM

Big East?? overrated as hell...the tourney doesnt lie....UCONN will not win it all...just saying...the Conference alone gives them cred..i loved watching them all go down..

nobodyukno · 03-26-11, 11:15 PM

Dont blame the Big East for getting 11 teams in. Blame every other conference for being complete shit this year

That's the thing, I actually love watching Big East basketball but it's really annoying hearing people say how great the conference is when it's not.

When your teams that are supposedly really good lose to Morehead St., a "down" Gonzaga team, Butler, George Mason, and VCU, you aren't as good as you thought you were. I'm sorry but you have to be able to beat mid-majors in the first round at the very least.

Likewise, the Big East had a forth of the the teams in the tournament and had only one make the elite 8. We all know that the Big East was guaranteed two 16 teams based on matchups alone. "ONE" Big East team making it to the Elite 8 does not legitimize the conference.

I wouldn't be as critical of the Big East if the media and people on this site weren't constantly hyping it up saying how great it was shoving BS down our throats.

I don't want to hear this crap about how everyone judges conference on championships either. The OP of this thread said that was the reason the Big East had been so dominant the past 5 years...Give me a break. In the last 6 years the ACC has three titles, the SEC has two titles, and the Big 12 has one title. The Big East hasn't won shit.

I like the Big East and think it's a good conference. I just don't think it's a great conference and it's definitely not as good as people have made it out to be.

Lazy-Man · 03-26-11, 11:53 PM

BIG EAST is overrated but UCONN is not. They are legit NC contenders

Butler and VCU have been great so far, so thats ignorant to say

Louisville's star was hurt when they were up around 8 and then MSU hit a MIRACLE fadeaway 3

Saint Johns star was hurt in the BET and didn't play at all

Nova was one of the worst 4 teams in the conference record wise, so why are they included?

Dime Time · 03-27-11, 12:19 AM

Kansas will be the last team standing, who cares about all this other crap

Cuse0323 · 03-27-11, 12:40 AM

I don't get the whole conference pride thing anymore, I use to care but realized it was retarded. My team is in the Big East and I couldn't care less how the other teams do. I root against most of them. I hate them all year, why should I change come tourney time. Fck the BE and Fck UConn, I hope they lose by 50. UConn has been on a nice run, but in the end they're gonna be like the rest besides one school, a loser.

LMAO.

VCU's own players didn't even expect to get in the tournament. VCU finished 4th in the Colonial conference behind George Mason, Old Dominion, and Hostra. So a 4th place team from the Colonial is better than most Big East teams?? You're basically agreeing with what I'm saying.

Butler lost to Evansville, Wright State, Wisc-Milw twice, and Youngstown State. Butler is good and I respect them but shouldn't the best team from the Big East be able to beat a team that finished in a three way tie for first in the Horizon? I mean, if the Big East is so great you would think their best team could handle a Horizon team that was beaten by some of the teams I just mentioned.

L'Ville made it to the Big East final, shouldn't they be able to beat a team that finished the regular season second in the Ohio Valley? It wasn't a miracle fadeaway three pointer either. If the Big East was so good, one of their better teams should have never been in a position to lose to a 13 seed.

Another excuse. St. Johns was another overrated Big East team that wasn't that good to begin with anyway. They lost to St. Marys and Fordham. I'm not surprised a down Gonzaga team destroyed them.

At least you're starting to see the light.

Why do people have to continue to make excuses for the Big East? Why can't people just admit the conference was overrated and there is a lot of parity in college basketball? Is that really that hard???? All I am seeing is this player was hurt or these mid-majors are good or this player's vagina hurt that game...it's pathetic.

I've never seen a conference get so much hype and produce so less. We're at the point of making excuses for the Big East losing to 12 and 13 seeds. It's pretty comical.

Smartest thing said in this whole thread.

I think the Big East is a good conference and I enjoy watching Big East basketball. With that said, the conference was overrated plain and simple. I'm not sure why people can't admit this.

butler also played duke tough in the FINAL last year, i mean come on. a lot of the same players, brandon hayward left, but still a good team.

Agreed.

That further backs up my whole point. There is a lot of parity in bball and the Big East really isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Teams like Butler are just as good if not better.

This is how I feel. Im a UK fan but I dont take any pride in the SEC and could give a **** less how the other teams do. I certainly wasnt pulling for UF to win today. The rest of the SEC can go to hell for all I care.

Well this Gator fan is giddy as hell that your cheating Coach Cal and the rest of the team are headed back to hillbilly country. The only thing better than UF winning a title is Kensucky NOT winning a title...

Derby1 · 04-03-11, 01:42 AM

Maybe next year Depaul will be a final four team. The Big East is mighty

FindTheLock · 04-03-11, 02:07 AM

The big east basketball schools don't dominate like the SEC football schools. I like Big East basketball, but they are over rated regardless if UCONN wins the title or not. UCONN is a legit team, but if there were more seniors and experienced players in college hoops these championship games would be much more fun to watch. It's basically like an extended high school championship with all of the good players going to the NBA after a year.

BettingWizard · 04-03-11, 09:21 AM

Big East is the best conference, period.

If Duke or UNC left the ACC, no chance they are ever a top conference

Big 12 if Kansas left

SEC wouldn't ever crack the top 5 if Uk left

Big 10 is pretty diverse, but still significantly weaker if you take away somebody like Michigan State.

Pac-10 without UCLA

Take away Uconn, for example, and the Big East is still a threat to be a #1 conference every year

That is the true definition of a best conference

PaperTrail07 · 04-03-11, 09:25 AM

all of the best BIG EAST teams dropped like flies
