I think there's the top 4 conferences (Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC), then a decent gap before the ACC and Pac 12.
At the end of the broadcast Van Pelt asked Bilas who are the deepest conferences and he said Big 12 and SEC even after our second worst team beat 7-1 OU. Ridiculous.! At least they said ACC sucks (my word not theres)
Every team in the Big 12 is a possible bubble team at worst. That is the top conference top to bottom. They don't have a Georgetown. The SEC is probably the most top heavy. The Big Ten is similar. The Big East is the #4 league. The problem is that the league only has 11 members and two are horrid (although Butler saved face last night). Also, nobody other than Nova is considered elite by the media at the current moment. Us, Seton Hall, and Xavier have a chance to change that narrative this year.The Big 12 has mastered the art of scheduling mediocre but not terrible teams, so the league gets to March with a bunch of teams in the top 40 in computer rankings despite not having many marquee wins, and being overall average at best among the majors. I think this year will be different, but the good news is that the Big East gets to prove it on the court.
Since the Gonzaga game Texas has played a horrid schedule.I don't know if they will win, but Seton Hall matches up very well with Texas.
- Seton Hall has the size to match Texas' best offensive players
- 6'6 210 Timmy Allen (13.3 ppg) matches up w/ Jared Rhoden 6'6 210.
- Tre Mitchell will be matched up against Yetna/Jackson when on the perimeter and Ike/Samuel when he's inside. I expect him to be smothered
- Seton Hall has the depth to match Texas'.
- Both teams play 9 deep.
I will never forget the '17 OT win against Monmouth at the XL Center. At one point in the second half, a guy stands up out of his seat and yells out "what the [bleep] is going on here? This is [bleep] Monmouth!!!"12/9/21
