1978 I respect your opinion even if I don't toatally share it but let's be honest we give the Big East all the benefit of the doubt in the world and simply doubt the A10. By the way on other post I have expressed similar views of Gonzaga and a question I have asked no one has answered and it was will Gonzaga be the first team in NCAA history to be seeded #1 without beating a single team rated in top twenty. Another question is how to we explain away A10's 6-1 record against Big East top eight teams versus A10'a top eight teams playing head to head. Now we can start to look back. Big East looks as if it was one of the top 2 conferences in the country this year. Pretty impressed that Nova happens to beat 2 of the final 4 teams this year. Temple also beat a final 4 team. I think we were both in agreement that Gonzaga was a really weak 1 seed and that is how it played out. I am rooting for Wichita St the rest of the way. I wouldn't mind seeing the emotion of yesterday’s injury in the Louisville game carry Russ Smith and the cardinals. That is despite the coach being a dirt ball.

!978 I actually picked Louisville to win it all and my statement regarding the Big East was not that no team was deserving of high praise or making tourny but based on seedings and number (8) of teams that made the tourny. Only team that has surprised me is Syracuse. Hell they had 5 teams in Big East come away with zero wins and Marquette was lucky they were not the sixth. Funny but many across country bad mouth certain confernces when they go 1-4 like Mountain (Boise St.) but Big East went 1-5 in first six games but they are great. They have one great team and that is Louisville. 8 0ut of 64 teams with good seedings gives any conference a huge advantage. To date A10 has 7 wins and Big east has 11 which comes out to 1.4 wins per team in both conferences. Syracuse has been pretty fortunate playing Montana St., Cal, Indiana (who looked bad against in tourny period) and Marquette. We played a tougher schedule than Syracuse . Louisville wouldn't matter because they are that good.

The fact that is happened will take much of the off season to sink in.

Louisville wouldn't matter because they are that good. Fair enough. I think it was one of the top 2 conferences this year. Nova's win over Louisville is still baffling. I really don't like the comments about being fortunate. They are taking care of business. Thats all this thing is about. It really bothers me when people try to discredit LaSalle's wins so I won't do it to other teams.
