Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 3018296, member: 1559"] I know some of you may not want to hear this, but the AAC has more upside in basketball than the Big East. Villanova has carried the perception of the BE for the last few years, but ex-Nova, the Old Big East schools have not done that well. We would all want to play the Old Big East teams in basketball, but most of the teams have moved on and the New Big East is not the same conference. Here's a question for you. How many schools from the Big East have made it to the Sweet 16 in the past 10 years? Four: Villanova, Marquette, Xavier, and Butler. Only one of the traditional rivals. When was the last time Georgetown made it to a Sweet 16? 2007. Seton Hall? 2000. St. John's? 1999. Providence? 1997. [/QUOTE]
