I know it’s a down year for the league, but remind me how great it is to be in a mid major conference as opposed to the best basketball conference in the country.
Are you that young?The best basketball conference in the country is probably the ACC. When were we in the ACC? If you mean the conference that used to be called the Big East that had a lot of teams defect? We are still in that conference.

I forget, what year did the ACC have 3 teams in the Final Four?
About to hijack this thread. What’s the likelihood of good news on the recruiting front this week?I acknowledge that this league will never be the Old Big East. But with us and Memphis improving, and Cincinnati/Witchia State/Houston continuing to be good, this should be a league that is better than say the Pac 12.

Definitely not the AP PollWhat is this thread even about
Straw man. Intellectually empty point.Ah yes, I forgot that having 3 teams in the final four one year means you are the best conference every year.

When rating the best conference, you look at their achievements. That was an absolute signature moment, one that has never been duplicated.
I think yes and not really. Duke can be mediocre all year and then get automatically seeded #2 because ACC and Duke. Rarely is it based solely on the body of their work.Conferences are evaluated on the basis of how they perform currently, not their history.
Just wanted to add that it’s this implied ACC is the best that leads to UVA being the first 1 seed to lose to a 16 seed... it was going to happen at some point but in spite of the bracket busting, admit there was some “YES!” among fans here that it was an ACC team...I think yes and not really.

How do you explain Syracuse getting off the bubble last year? ACC.
There is an automatic strength of schedule that is implied with your conference. We no longer have that. We did in the old Big East, although it took awhile to get there.
The old big east doesn't exist anymore, therefore the best basketball conference currently is the ACC (or perhaps the Big 12). OP posted as if it were our choice to be in this crappy conference as opposed to the ACC or ideally to old big east.I think yes and not really. Duke can be mediocre all year and then get automatically seeded #2 because ACC and Duke. Rarely is it based solely on the body of their work.

you... sure about that?The MAC has a ranked team. Perhaps we should join the MAC. We may even win a few more football games there.
