Amazing what one run to the Final 4 can do for you.

Fans of the nBE were talking a lot stuff after Thursday, but the league is going down in flames.
From an outsider, I understand the frustration on this board, and why you'd love to escape, but the nBE isn't the answer. Actually, after taking a look at the teams in the AAC, I think the league is going to have a monster year next season. One that might begin to solidify it as the best of the non P5 leagues. If this indeed happens, it could work to UConn's benefit as long as they are stuck there. If the league becomes truly good, it's far flung nature will raise the profile of UConn in certain talent rich areas outside of the NE. I'm especially thinking of Texas. I really think that Sampson is going to get it done at Houston, and that they are soon going to be winning at a very high level. This will make the league very visible in Texas, and UConn will take advantage of this by luring some Texas talent to Storrs.
Time will tell.

Utah was definitely better than Georgetown, and probably as good as a 3 seed. Not an upset at all. And Georgetown probably should have been a 6 rather than a 4 anyway.

Notre Dame has some talent, don't think that Brey could up.

Butler gift wrapped it for him so they should have.
Having heard the news since about his mom, I am happy for him. Supposedly a very good guy so he deserves it. They win 3 today and the ACC has 6 teams out of 16. ouch
