5 out of 8

[prankster]

I just thought that this needed to be thrashed out, one last time....

Da bastids managed to have dismantled the most dominant basketball conference, ever.

3 of the women's final 4 teams are from the Big East.

2 of the men's final 4 teams are from the Big East.

We will never see the like of it, again.

You're wrong. ACC is getting ND and Louisville. 2 of those 3 teams in women's final four and both of the teams in men's final four. ACC will be the most dominant basketball conference in history. Now if UConn somehow joins them, winning the ACC will be harder than winning the BE or NCAA ever was.

I predict that your scenario will not prove out.

My belief is that the Big East created the type of basketball conference they wanted to have. It was much more physical, year after year, than other conferences. (I still remember when the BE went to 6 fouls for conference games.) Overall, it was much tougher to win the conference, and teams that emerged in the top tier of the conference tended to be tougher and better prepared.

IMO, you will see former BE teams sink to the level of the ACC, rather than see the ACC rise up to the level of the former BE.

Without anything to back us up I agree. I don't care if people consider us irrational. My belief is that ten years from now we'll all be looking at the way things played out and realize UConn was lucky it got overlooked by the ACC! It will be a much greater set of events than the missing out on the highly ranked recruit to get the unheralded one that gives UConn the NC. But it will happen.

Brings to mind the Charleton Heston scene in The Planet of the Apes when he sees the Statue of Liberty.
