Re: Have not eaten Lunch or Supper.....because
Decided to take the high road...:)
I have never bought into a one and out situation type tournament determining a good or bad said conference. To be quite honest it's a idiotic argument so I stayed out of it. You have to look at the overall body of work for all teams in a given conference than make a determination. Beyond a shadow of any doubt BE proved they are the best. Mills, Fishing is life, Know 1 and Woody are all wrong and have been wrong on this form the start. UK fans love to slam the BE conference but they seemingly send those same Cats home to Lexington every year.
I said all along all year and I still say it, the SEC had three good teams, Kentucky, Florida and Vandy, everybody else in that conference STUNK. Three good teams does not make a good conference at all.
BTW, The lowly stinky horrible Louisville Cardinals are 3 and 1 against this years last two standing.
Re: Have not eaten Lunch or Supper.....because
I've said it before and I'll say it again....from top to bottom the big east was the best conference....I honestly didn't think they had that one powerhouse team that could win it all until UConn got on this unbelievable roll....I think they had a lot of teams that should have been ranked in that 10-20 range with Lville, Cuse, ND, UConn, Pitt, and it just took one of them getting hot at the right time....UConn has done it and now the big east will probably walk away with a national champion....And yes, it is ridiculous to say that one game makes one conference better than the other

Greatest Free Throw Defense in the country. No doubt that UCONN won both games on the scoreboard. No doubt UCONN won the first meeting. No doubt UK LOST the second meeting more than UCONN won it. 4-12 from the free throw line for UK versus 9-11 for UCONN.
Now that the love disbelief shock happiness and whatever else happens when your favorite team gets to the final four is over for me. Realistically, I do believe the Big East was the best conference in america. I do not believe there was such a wide gap between the Big East and the other conferences as to alot them getting 11 bids out of a 16 conference team and their overall record in this tournament proves that out DRAMATICALLY. Personall, if you don't finish in the top half of your own conference regular season then you don't deserve an invite to the big dance unless you win the conference tournament. UCONN would not have gotten in for they finished 9th in a 16 conference but did get in by winning the BE tournament. With the BE getting so many teams upset and beaten by teams seeded or ranked lower than them proves that the conference was not as strong top to bottom as it was thought to be before the big dance. It was still the best conference top to bottom but not as strong top to bottom, if I am saying that right and making any sense. UCONN won the game against Kentucky and just like the Kentucky defeat against Arizona in the championship game of 1997 when Nazr Mohammad could not make a free throw, going 0-6 himself, and Kentucky goes 9-17 from the line versus Arizona's 34-41. Terrance Jones going 0-5, with 3 of those being front end of 1-1's, and the team going 4-12 versus UCONN's 9-11. If Kentucky wins that game and goes on to win tonight then the SEC is a lot closer to the Big East just because it has the champ at the top of the list. As is, BE is the best conference but no where near as strong as people thought.
