Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5295339, member: 10435"] I just don't see how we we were at any disadvantage last year. We ran away with the Final Four and were clearly the best team. So how can you make the argument that we needed a brutal schedule in conference? Both teams we dominated, UCLA and SC, had very highly ranked strength of schedules. Didn't help them against us. Isn't the test championships first, Final Fours second and conference championships third? When you go through a grueling in conference schedule it is not a guarantee of national championships or , only of a grueling schedule. I wouldn't mind a stronger Big East but to conclude that it is necessary for the end goals is just not supported by past history. Geno has won championships with strong conference play as in the old Big East and weak conference play as in the AAC. Makes no difference to him and it shouldn't to us. [/QUOTE]
