Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2392299, member: 6927"] As far as I can tell from a quick review of the old tournament brackets, the Big East never got more than two teams into the NCAA tournament until 1998. Perhaps part of this is because the tournament wasn't expanded to 64 teams until 1994. But still, for the first four years of the 64-team field, only one at-large bid was awarded to a Big East team. I remember when the Tennessee fans (and other SEC-philes) would deride UConn for its allegedly weak conference. They sounded an awful lot like the people now who take shots at the AAC. [/QUOTE]
