    analysts saying the BE gets 11 teams to the big dance-crazy :!:


    Marquette may get in but the shouldn't. 18-12 right now, they lose Sat at SH, they'd be 9-9 in conf and 13 losses heading into the BE tourney. 14 losses should NEVER get you in the tourney, I don't care what conference you are in. I've been to many Marquette games this year and they just aren't a good team. I want them to make the tourney but can be honest and admit they are not a tourney team.

    They very well may be, but if anything it proves to me that we certainly don't need a 96 team field. Marquette is not a tourney worthy team, plain and simple. I had season tickets for them this year and have seen enough of them to know they are not tourney worthy. I know the big east is the best conf year in and year out, but finishing 11/16 teams is mediocrity at best, and that should not be rewarded with a tourney bid.

    Seton Hall thumping the Johnnies? Good win for them, and a bigger wake up call to SJU.
    I love to turn you on

    UConn loses again...

    Tweet from Bill Simmons:
    If you didn't get the memo, Kemba Walker is starring in his own off-Broadway 1-man show on ESPN right now.
    So true.

    Still trying to figure out why he went for a 3 when they were down by 2. I hate when players do that.

    If they lose to Depaul on Tuesday, I'll cry.

    so 3 games ended up separating the 11th place and 3rd place teams in the final regular season standings.

    the big east is a god damn beast of a conference.

    I don't understand why people say the ACC, Big 10, and Big 12 are up there with the Big East. It's like this:

    Big East





































    ACC
    Big 10
    Big 12

    There is so much parity this year, not only in the Big East. There doesn't seem to be one dominant team. Should make the NCAA Tournament fun to watch.

    Apparently a genius Big East coach doesn't think Kemba is a unanimous pick for All-Big East First Team.

    Oh boy the popsicle sucking festival is in full swing on this thread.

    Somehow St. Johns has a 4 seed in the latest bracketology (unchanged despite the Seton Hall beatdown). Nice losses to Fordham & St. Bonaventure. That's as many A-10 losses as projected 7 seed Temple (except SJU was 0-2 - Temple is 14-2). I guess consistency doesn't mean anything.

    Free-falling Villanova held on to a 7 seed. Who the hell comes up with this shit? What bothers me is that the committee will give all these Big East teams ridiculous seeds, just as predicted.

    It has finally arrived!!! The best time for college basketball is starting. Conference tournaments and then the NCAA. UConn gets the first game and hoping they're a changed team in the tournament.
