Big East may be a 1 bid league

Poppycock
 
What other leagues are really good besides the P2?

Yeah this is an odd year so far. Some very good teams but none that look dominant (IMO, excluding UConn due to immense bias).

Deep group of good teams and yet there is a huge cliff as well.

Huge down year for the ACC and BE. Pac10 doesn’t look great either. BIG, SEC and Big 12 look great one week and not so great the next.

So will probably see some less than deserving teams get in from the P6 or a good handful of mid majors with good records but not any quality wins.

Looks more and more like football success driving the basketball bus. Independents like UConn and Notre Dame too.

Who gives a cr@p? We could be #1 all year and shizzle and all these other handwringers will constantly whine about how weak the conference is.

They should change the name of this place from the boneyard to the nebbishyard.

UConn, Creighton, Marquette, and Xavier are tournament teams. Not sure I see anyone else making it unless Nova has a monster turnaround

Villanova is going to have a monster turnaround.

Well in reality having a bunch of tournament teams in the Big East does help the 1 team we all care about. If UConn is playing 20+ games in the conference where none of those teams are in the tournament then UConn's NCAA Tournament seeding is going to suffer. And I'm sure we'd all like the Huskies to have a high seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Plus a good conference is important for recruiting.
 
My guess is 4 teams at the very least. UConn, Xavier, Creighton, and Marquette. If one of those teams don’t make it, St John’s and Nova seem like good bets to slot in. Let’s not forget Nova is playing without one of their best players right now.

Tells me this forum consists of a lot of old people. If this was Reddit people would have understand it was a joke

I've said it a few times, and it bears repeating I guess...Just because you think it, it doesn't mean you need to type it. Also, The BY isn't Reddit. But I suppose someone needs age and wisdom to figure that one out.

Reddit, Twitter, Storrs Rd. Anywhere else would have known it was hyperbole after Creightons embarrassing loss.

Sorry dad I shouldn’t have made that joke!

I mean when it’s something that outrageous it should translate. Cmon now even the AAC has never been a 1 bid league

Hmmm!

In a thread that was so over the top with hot takes I created a post stating I will not give one nanosecond of my time commenting in this thread. I received four responses from intelligent posters stating that I just did.

I'm sorry, with all the stuff I've seen posted on this board, saying the Big East is a one bid conference would not even scratch the top 100 worse takes in the last 10 years

So I just assumed it was another bad take. Don't know the OP, his posting style, his sense of humor, any inside jokes..... I just know I've seen everything around here (except politics)

Somewhat of a to know relief that it was an attempt at levity. Haha :cool:

Big East may be a 1 bid league

Too early and too many other "locks" off to bad starts. I'm talking to you UNC.

A man in his 30's sits in front of a computer screen. Framed Basketball posters surround a mid 2010s flat screen TV. A mini UConn basketball hoop hangs above his monitor, the nerf ball is lost, the backboard dusty. A BigEast cup ,a souvenir from his lone trip to Madison Square Garden , meets his lips. The beverage masks the reek of spilled bong water from the night before.

His roommate noticed the smell earlier, after the gym. He sets his beer down. A bobblehead of a man in a suit with the caption "No Escalators" jiggles on its spring. His roomates coworker chuckled at it during one of his visits this past winter, while the man was attending a basketball game at XL Center.

His eyeglasses reflect a Blue and White webpage. His condensing fingertips fall heavily upon keys concealing sugar from sour patch kids. He checks to see if anyone has replied to any of his recent critiques of the UConn non conference schedule . Indeed they have. He smiles. Purpose.

That was good.
 
The Big East will be a four bid league for the 2022 NCAA tournament due to the conference's overall strength and depth. Several teams are ranked in the top 25 and have the talent and experience to make a deep tournament run. Additionally, the conference has a history of success in the NCAA tournament, which could give it an edge. These factors all point to the Big East earning multiple bids in 2022.
