Yeah sure.  2020 was the year Marquette won the Nationalal championship wasn’t it?  I’m a bit skeptical about your 7 tourney teams.  You really think teams with fewer than 20 wins AND losing conference records AND who ended the season on 3 game losing streaks were making the tournament?

Villanova has carried this league on its back since it was formed.  We will see if UConn can help out, though I’m personally skeptical that we have the “fire in the belly” any more.  3 teams have gotten past the first weekend.  Villanova, and Creighton and Xavier 1 time each. The rest are filler teams. They can usually pack light.  Getting back to the original point, you could schedule garbage non- league games when you were in a league where multiple teams regularly were among the best in the country.  From 2003-2013 the original Big East had teams in the final four 8 times with 4 titles spread among 3 different teams.  It had multiple Final Four teams twice.  Those facts are indicative of the strength and depth of the league.  The current league is Villanova and a bunch of Washington Generals for them to beat up on. ( FWIW the Generals have 3 wins in their 72 year history, too so Villanova doesn’t always win.  Just most of the time.)
