2012 NCAA Big East Tournament Performance

Whatup Husky fans. I posted this on the Cuse board, thought you might apprectiate it also. I want to keep track of how the Big East teams perform in this year's tournament, to see if the cliche criticism of underperforming Big East teams holds true this year. I've calculated how many games Big East teams are SEEDED to win.

#1 Syracuse: 4.25
#3 Marquette: 2
#3 Georgetown: 2
#4 Louisville: 2
#6 Cincinnati: 1
#7 Notre Dame: 1
#9 Connecticut: 0
#10 West Virginia: 0
#12 South Florida: 0.5

Total Expected Wins: 12.75

**USF play in game 12/12 - counted this as half an expected win.
**Syracuse FF - expected to win .5 + .5*.5 = .75 games in the Final 4

So basically, if the BE wins a collective 13 games total, we did better than expected, but will still probably get a lot of criticism. Here's hoping to 6 BE teams in the S16, 4 in the E8, 2 in the FF, and Syracuse as the national champion

FWIW I'm counting on UConn for a couple wins

On a Syracuse note, does anyone else think UNC-Asheville is kinda good? They gave us a pretty decent run in November. Not that I expect them to win, but it seems like a tougher than average 16 seed.

Yeah, a lot of us thought there was a good chance they would get a 15 seed. Didn't they give UNC a good run this season, granted that was their super bowl, still.

They also played UNC pretty tough for about 30 minutes, granted it was on their home court but made a good showing.
