Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 2895075, member: 8240"] How do you define OBE? The 9 in before the start of the era of major realignment? Or do we add Miami, Rutgers, Temple, Virginia Tech, West Virginia and ND to the mix to cover all past members? Who represents the NBE? Only 5 are original members: PC, St. John's, Georgetown, Seton Hall and Villanova. Would anyone want to see Depaul, Butler, Marquette, Creighton, and Xavier in such a nostalgic event? If we want real nostalgia, we'd have the four of the original nine who left (UConn, Syracuse, Pittsburgh and bc) play Georgetown, St. John's, Seton Hall and Villanova. Syracuse/Georgetown, UConn/Villanova, Pittsburgh/bc and Seton Hall/St. John's would be my matchups. I'd leave PC along the river watching the "water fire" (and reminiscing about their 1994 Big East championship and the 1987 final four) because they wouldn't draw and have nasty fans. [/QUOTE]
