Message: [QUOTE="Inthepaint, post: 4330816, member: 11386"] Eliminating two BE games sounds ok given the present quality of some of the less successful teams in the conference. But things change (see Creighton, Villanova) so cutting out games against last season’s mediocre squads won’t always lead to a more competitive schedule. We have great rivalries with programs like Tennessee, Notre Dame and, now, South Carolina. Seeing some more interesting matchups within the BE could only make things better for everyone. As much as seeing the Huskies win BE title after title and BE tournament after tournament might be gratifying and fun, seeing some more nailbiters within the conference, IMHO, would spice things up and would prevent looking too far ahead and malaise. The ONLY good thing about the loss to Villanova was the stimulating effect it SEEMED to have on the admittedly hurting and short handed squad. [/QUOTE]
