    just an observation but the refs not calling fouls in the big east and letting them play physical really hurts the big east come tournament time, cause all season the teams are use to banging and playing aggressive but then come tournament if you chew gum the wrong way its a foul

    the refs are not costing the Big East any games in the tourny. The Big East is just overhyped in the media and when you hear it all day long on ESPN that they are the best people begin to believe it.

    i agree its over hyped, and im not saying the refs are costing them games. but what im saying is when you are use to playing one style and then the tournament starts and its a quick adjustment and most teams cant do that

    so wait in 2009 was uconn not in the big east? and not to mention nova was in the final four as a 3 seed. o wait both of those dont count tho right? idiot

    Have you been watching the games? FSU is shitting on ND right now. Do you think ND is the more physical team? They look like a bunch of wimps to me. Did you see Butler punk Pitt? Who was more physical? How about UK over WVU? UK won the game by being more physical. Gonzaga made st Johns their bitch.

    Your post is full of all kind of fail.

    And the only 2 teams that made the sweet 16 got in by... (wait for it)... Beating other Big East teams.

    So the Big East had 11 teams in the tourney. 9 teams were favored and they are down to 2 teams who only got by because they were lucky enough to face another Big East team. Can you say OVERRATED...

    Marquette and Uconn only won because they played other big East teams, Big East not even in the top 10 conferences anymore.

    might be a bit drastic there RM

    many of us knew they were over-rated. but I mean you can't wipe away a whole season's body of work based on this small sample size

    I'm no Big East apologist, but having to play each other guaranteed there would be 2 less Big East teams in the next round.

    Uconn and Marquette both should lose the next game, could be 0 left if they did not play each other. MArquette looks like a good bet but still tough game.

    What I think is funny is the ACC had a down year and 3 of 4 teams that made the dance are still alive.

    Any fan of the Big East has no defense! They must crawl into a hole or admit that they are vastly overrated and overhyped.

    honestly not surprised at all after the stinker performance they put up last year.

    sweet 16 will be the end of the road for the conference.

    Gotta say, I'm very disappointed in the play of the Big East in the tourney. Such high hopes. I wonder if their grueling schedule is taking a toll on them?

    Tourney really proves nothing. Its like bowl games.

    Yet a crappy 11 seed Marquette is only a 4.5 dog to a #2 seed acc champ.

    They was billed as the best conference in the country. Overall they should have had a better showing than they did. For the amount of hype the Bug East from top to bottom they should have more than 2 teams left.

    Only reason they have 2 teams left is because they got to play each other, or there would be 1, UCONN is only legit team. There is no more excuses now. They are waayyy overrated and should never of had that many teams in!

    People need to get over how strong a conference is, if Richmond wins it all does the A-10 have a case? Big east benefits from parody. They play strong at home but poor on the road, and just as bad at neutral sites. It comes down to having a leader, that is what most of the 16 have is a clear leader on the team or 2+ if they are lucky. Being a homer I am pulling for OSU and Wisco in the final, bucks win it all

    I saw Kemba, Uconn and co in person at the Verizon Center this past Thursday and Saturday night, and he is looking flat out unstoppable. I'm not saying UConn is poised to win the title, but even in the first round Pitt looked weak against NC Ashville, while Connecticut looked unstoppable against Bucknell...THEN Kemba dominates against Cincy.....just watch out for the only real hope for the Big East
