Syracuse won't even make the sweet 16. They are winning a conference that is historically the most overrated in sports. When your conference contains 26 teams, and you get 15 of those team in the tournament, you're probably going to have a champion more often that a team that only gets 5-6. I haven't figured out the statistics, but of the major conferences I bet the Big East has the worst champion to teams in the tournament ratio in world history.SportsAndLady;1055459 wrote:Two unbeatens left...Syracuse and Murray State.
One is a traditional powerhouse, and the other is Syracuse

Didn't the Big East have like 95% of their teams in the tournament?killer_ewok;1055691 wrote:Didn't Uconn win the national championship last year after a 9th place regular season finish in the Big East?

If you are under the assumption that parity has reached college basketball, and you have any knowledge of probability, you would know that every team has a chance to win the title if they make the tournament. The fact that the Big East gets about 15 teams in the tournament each year, it was bound to happen where a team would get hot and win 6 in a row.
Like I said, the Big East, without a doubt, has the worst championship to tourny teams of all time. They are fraud.

You just don't like what the metric says about your conference. Enjoy!killer_ewok;1056129 wrote:And of course the Big East probably has the worst tourney team-to-champion ratio. They usually have the most teams in and only one team in the country/conference can win it all and no one conference produces the national champ every year.
Bearcats up 42-33. Jacquon Parker and Sean Kilpatrick have been tearing it up for the 'Cats thus far. UC 7 for 14 from the three point stripe.Mulva;1057961 wrote:Cincinnati is up 9 @ UConn at the half. Andre Drummond a no-show so far.
Murray State is down 3 late in the 1st half against Morehead State.
"Killa" Sean Kilpatrick has ice running through his veins.SportsAndLady;1058053 wrote:Wow what an ending
Cincy blows a huge lead with a min and half left, then hits a 3 w/ 2.5 left
They have depth issues this year, especially at guard where Walker played. Ist doesn't help with Boatwright sitting due to an NCAA investigation.chicago510;1058041 wrote:I know Cincy is playing well, but what the hell is wrong with UConn? They look like hell with the same exact team minus Kemba.
Well UCONN is #11 so there are right there together.SportsAndLady;1058077 wrote:Depth issues..ha! Kansas had 2 impact freshman ruled ineligible for the entire season and they're a top 10 team.
UCONN is mayyyybe a top 25 team right now. KU right now is a top 5 team.Little Danny;1058082 wrote:Well UCONN is #11 so there are right there together.
