Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4539706, member: 591"] The Big East is a better conference than the AAC, but I think the jury is still out how much Geno needs to schedule "top tier" out of conference to properly prepare the team for the post season. Villanova, Marquette, DePaul and Creighton are all programs with a history of some success and are currently the cream of the crop. But they are not typically going to be that highly ranked - Villanova is having an exceptional year (with a huge star), DePaul an off year, etc. I have more faith in them being solid programs than typically deep-run NCAA teams. Then you have teams like St. John's and Seton Hall, which are good, but their recent success has seemed to me overstated. The rest are AAC material. It is justly considered the strongest non-Power 5 conference, but truthfully, except for UConn, lacks any team that can be considered a sure bet year in and year out. [/QUOTE]
