Yeah sure. They won 6 of 7 regular season titles and tied 1 and 4 of seven tournament titles. Got to the finals and lost another time. Let’s not pretend they aren’t the dominant program because every now and then the Lilliputians win a game.
Over a period from 1994-1999 (6 years)
The really funny thing is we likely wouldn’t win the AAC this year. Plus let’s not over value the victory a pretty weak Georgetown too much. That game really played out the way I thought it would. We dominated a team a good team should dominate.
Yup. And at the time people were talking about how UConn was carrying the once proud Big East. The addition of Louisville, Cincinatti and Marquette in the early 2000s reinvigorated the league. Plus Syracuse recovered. We’ll see what happens now. But honestly few of the current group have the resources to be true national programs.
Syracuse went to the Finals in the period I mentioned. The Big East was fine. It's tournament performance wasn't great, but it was putting a decent number of teams into the tournament and performing fine enough. The year the BE did worst in terms of teams in the NCAA was 2003 when Syracuse won it. 1999-2004 had three champions from the league.

Interesting money line disparity between St. John’s and seton hall. Wonder why? Two even teams placed in same bracket. Plus St. John’s just beat them by 10 Saturday and playing pretty much at home. Must be a mistake. Good value there with St. John’s. Might take UConn and them fir 100 each
I was just posting the same thing. Creighton is still the our nemesis.We are so dooooomed. Check out the CBSSports.com predictions for the winner of the BET. Clean sweep.

I notice Chip Patterson also gave a nod to G. Tech winning the ACC, and who Palm has us going against in the 7-10 matchup.
Whaaat? My site basically has us tied with Creighton as faves. What are the prices? Ultimately, someone can say anyone is the favorite. The only sources that matter are the ones actually taking action on it.
Interesting. That is radically different than other oddsmakers' predictions posted here.
Makes sense. If the odds you cited were accurate, I was going to suggest we all go over there and bet the house on UConn!

Oh this just sucks!Another nod for the Huskies from the Boston Globe. Starting to scare me. We're so doooomed.
BIG EAST
at New York (Wednesday-Saturday)
Favorite: Villanova. The Wildcats are once again atop the league, but they have serious injury problems, with both point guards, Collin Gillespie and Justin Moore, out. They will have to rely on defense and sleek forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl.
Contenders: Creighton, Seton Hall, Connecticut, Xavier. Creighton has had problems, too, with coach Greg McDermott suspended — and reinstated on Monday — for using insensitive, racist-tinged remarks while addressing his team. The Bluejays will have to separate that from their on-court performance and rally behind guard Marcus Zegarowski (who’s from Hamilton).
Long shot: Marquette. The Fightin’ McGuires have some interesting talent, especially freshman Dawson Garcia, plus they are in Villanova’s bracket.
Prediction: UConn. The Huskies have finished the season strongly and jumped up a level when star guard James Bouknight returned from injury.
