    highest seed in the final four :lol:


    what an unreal tourney.
    UCONN!!!! It's going to be a different game against Kentucky than back in November in Maui.


    i love how no acc team reached the final four when all the talk going into this past weekend was about how they had one more team in the sweet 16 than the big east. :lol::lol:
    :lol: Now I'm hearing UConn is the favorite to win it?

    i guess their odds would be better on the other side of the bracket...but they are the highest seed remaining.

    Yep. This week is going to drag by so much. The Butler/VCU game should be fun to watch.

    Wow. Nate Miles is finding any excuse to be in the news now that UConn is in the final 4. He did this in 2009 also when UConn went to the final 4. This guy is pathetic.

    Wow, can't believe they're chickening out. Everyone knows the Big East is the best conference in the nation.

    Yep. ACC is less competitive. All you have to really worry about in that conference is Duke and UNC.

    ...and pitt and syracuse. it's a beast of a conference again all of a sudden.

    there are all different directions the big east can go now.

    Big East should've gotten rid of Depaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall, and maybe Providence and South Florida.

    Ha, Syracuse chickening out. Yeah, that's exactly what they're doing. Going to be very strange and not sure how I feel but that is one hell of a conference. Looking forward to seeing unc in the dome.

    Assume the biggest rival will be Pitt.

    As much as I'd like UConn to stay in the Big East, them going to the ACC would make it just about the scariest conference ever.

    Yeah, that's going to be the weirdest thing for me. UNC-Duke already have their rilvary, so anything aside from Pitt is going to be pretty manfactured. If UConn goes to the ACC that will obviously still be there. Will be interesting. Your boys are going to be in a tough spot if UConn ends up leaving. Nova-Georgetown-ND as the top 3 teams?

    And West Virginia could be in the talks for top teams in the Big East.

    talk of a merger with the big 12 now.

    :roll: this is a sad time. i don't think people realize that this conference is on the verge of/in the middle of armegeddon. it will never look the same.

    syracuse not playing in the big east tourney at msg? msg was like their home away from home. the acc commish is now talking about moving the acc tourney to new york. i fucking hate this.

    and it's the basketball centric catholic schools like nova, st johns, and g town that will suffer the most.

    dana o'neil sums this up perfectly. she used to write in philly about nova and the big 5 a lot. she knows her shit:
