The New Big East isn’t even in the same league with the Big East. Between 1999 and 2013 when it broke up it had 5 National Championships won by 3 different teams, something like 11 teams in the Final Four, and at least twice it had multiple Final Four teams.  It had multiple Elite 8 teams.  The New Big East has had Villanova.   It’s good but Villanova has been to the NBE what Gonzaga has been to its league. A giant among Lilliputians. Now I know somebody is going to post about all the high rankings and bids the league has gotten. But look at NCAA tourney performance and you see that is largely a mirage. You have to look hard to find a team not named Villanova that got past the first weekend.  And the number of times losing to lower seeds is pretty high too.  I’m a UConn fan and that’s who I root for. For various reasons, there are a few others I root for when they don’t play the Huskies. Don’t much care about the New Big East and it’s living off the legacy of the Original, though.
