Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 4251097, member: 168"] In terms of basketball, Virginia Tech and Miami are just as good if not better than they were in the Big East. Miami had a few good years at the end of their run, but they are regularly successful in the ACC...more than they were on average in the Big East. Tech was dreadful in the Big East and has clearly improved their lot. Louisville has been fine in the ACC. The last two years overshadow their larger success provided they had Pitino. They were a 4 seed in the 2015 ACC tournament (and ranked 17), then in 2016 finished 4th and nationally ranked 16 (but ineligible for post-season). Then tied for 2nd and ranked 10th. In 2018, no more Pitino, so they dropped, but they've only been bad the last two years, and I'm sure they'll be very good again soon. Notre Dame has largely stayed where they were or improved in the ACC too. Syracuse-Pitt-BC have all fell off. Louisville and West Virginia are down at the moment, but have had success more or less the same as in the Big East. West Virginia was a 3 seed in last year's tournament! Notre Dame and Miami have been essentially what they were in the Big East. Virginia Tech and Rutgers are better than they ever were in the Big East. [/QUOTE]
