Maybe Rothstein should reconsider?

Jon Rothstein: ACC Is The Best League In The History Of The Sport

Best league ever (ACC) was an embarrassment yesterday with 2 of their teams getting trounced in their round of 32, one scoring 39 points, yeah count it 39 that's dreadful on the part of Bennett and Virginia. And FSU, well Leonards a great guy but we almost exppect this don't we? Miami got ripped apart the first round in an embarrassing manner and the only once's left are LVille, Duke and UNC. VaTech first round, Wake prior to 1st round and ND gone. Cuse in the NIT at home to add to the wonderful misery of this "best league ever"

They have 3 left, the Big East had 3 in the FF with the 4th losing in OT to LVille trying to make it a sweep. The best league was the Big East and probably at least a half a dozen separate years they were better than this ACC - c'mon Jon man up and eat crow!

But... it's because they were all so good that they beat up on each other during the regular season and got worn out! /s

Rothstein is a joke who just recycles tweets and comments. Did you know that Gary Clark is a problem?

The 2011 Big East's tourney record was 13-10, with 2 Sweet 16 teams.

So shouldn't we should wait until the tournament is over before assessing the ACC this year?

ACC is 6-7 if I recall, so far. They have Duke and UNC left, right? The two flagship programs are left to carry the acc.

I think 6-6. And how many did we have to 'carry' the Big East? Just about every time, as I recall.

If Duke and UNC flame out "early" (e.g. pre-Final Four) Rothstein will look a bigger fool. Imo, the 2015 ACC was stronger than this year's edition.

UConn had to go through Cincy to get there, and Marquette through Syracuse, right? Not really fair.

You have an issue with Wake?

Lol

It's completely fair, because those games count as a win and a loss.

True but on the other hand, we were guaranteed 2 Sweet 16 teams.

Louisville gone to the 8th place B1G school.

 

[champs99and04]

The ACC was overrated long before this tournament. They are a combined 4-18 against the Big 12 and Big East.

Overrated doesn't mean they can't still be the best. Duke finished, what, fifth? And there as popular a pick as any to win the championship. If we're going to give the 2011 Big East credit for a ninth place team winning the title, we would have to extend the same to the ACC, especially if they go through UNC to do it.

I felt all year that the ACC had three really good teams, extreme depth at the bottom (Pitt or Clemson would have been like the third best team in the AAC), and an overrated middle. Notre Dame, Virginia, Florida State, and Miami were all inflated by perception. You could have switched a handful of teams from the middle of the Big East, Big 12, or Big Ten and they would have done the same thing. There was absolutely nothing special about those teams.

 

[EROCK CONN]

2009 big east had 7 teams in the sweet 16....four in the elite 8....that year may have been the best conference ever aside from 83 big east

It's in Rothsteins interest to change the status quo, the media has the voice to do it they just have to write it and people will believe it.

He just argues regular season depth and that the teams beat each other up they were so good. It's not like the Big East in 10/11 didn't have either.

Didn't you all hear? The flavor of the month is always the best. Ever.

Rothstien is like @JSM1970 , he is much better on ignore.
