The NCAA tourney is one game at a time and these games consist of teams they arent even familar with each and haven't seen each at all, which puts a great leveling of teams The Big East went 7-4 in the first round. Louisville lost at the buzzer and was without their best player down the strecth Villanova should have won but choked on 4 free throws down the strecth to ice it Easily should have went 9-2 St. John's was without their heart and soul DJ Kennedy coupled with the fact that Gonzaga couldn't miss a shot Georgetown laid a egg I love how the NCAA has 2 games with Big East teams facing each other in the second round. This was purley done for the reason they were scared of having 6-8 big east team in the Sweet Sixteen The tourney doesnt prove who the best conference is, never has and never will. It's whoever gets hot. Another dissadvantage the Big East has in the tourney is that they are used to such physical play.NCAA officials call the games so much tighter in the NCAA tourney Put all these other teams in the big east, play that conference schedule and conf. tourney and lets see how they do in the NCAA tourney
