Who to root for, what to watch, UCONN/BUTLER

[bigrod]

UCONN. Then maybe people believe all the hype the Big Eaast got all year. They were one of the lower teams in our conference and that makes us all look good since we beat on each other all year and basically blew it in the real tournament. For UCONN to win the biggest tournament of any conference and then win the National Championship it woud be great for Big East so Barkley and SEC fans can't shut up a bit too.

AGAIN WOODY, I did not get caught up in that STUPID argument becuse it';s just that STUPID. My team is better than your team because.................we beat this guy and that team and that makes us king. Face it that is not a good argument and there is no reason to debate it with you and Mills because you will get on here and post a thread as long as War and Peace and at the end I still don't get it.

Here you go, Louisville beat Butler like an unwanted step kid, they also beat UConn two out of three times and once by 13 points, and once in their gym. This must make Louisville the REAL National champion, that's how stupid that argument sounds when you post it. The Sec was no where NEAR the conference as the Big East this year and EVERYBODY in the know in college basketball agrees. I'm done with this argument other than to say I did not engage in all that dribble because it made NO SENSE TO.

War and Peace the Cliff note version.

UK beat Louisville like an unwanted step kid on their own home floor, UK is what then??

Big East puts 11 teams in tourney. 7 of 10 that are knocked out are FAVORED to win the game.

Big East has 5 teams knocked out by double digit seeds

Last year Big East is the BEST, this year Big East is the BEST......

19 total bids combined last year and this year

21 TOTAL wins by 19 such bids, 8-8 last year 13-10 this year

West Virginia 4 wins last year and UCONN 6 wins this year accounted for 10 of the 21 wins

11 wins by the other 17 bids

If the Big East was the best conference last year and this, it surely was not by the margin that many argued here for when the chips were down in the NCAA, except WVA and UCONN, they folded like a tent.

One post you say you are tired of it and another post you keep fanning the flames. You keep riding the coat tails of every team in "your" conference and all others and eventually you will find some teams that beat UK. In one conference you say past is the past what about this year, but yet, 2006 thru 2010 is mentioned in this thread. How about this one for you

2011 Final Four Kentucky Wildcats

2011 NCAA First Round LOSER Louisville Cardinals


Not sure which team accomplished more in the "head to head" action, Kentucky beat Louisville on their home floor, Kentucky wins it's conference tournament, Louisville does not, Kentucky wins 1,2,3,4 games in the NCAA and Louisville wins 0,0,0,0,0. Keep riding the coat tails and eventually you will find a team to beat UK. Still trying to find where you were supporting that UCONN team and Big East BEFORE the Kentucky game?????? Typical Big East fan, jump and shout after the game is over and you know the final score. Tim T is the only BE fan with any testicular fortitude. I would flat out be ashamed to say I rooted for a conference that could not find 1 single fan to walk out onto the plank and support UCONN against Kentucky BEFORE the game was played, but that is just me

[mhall]

You right that is just you, lmao...........And we all know how YOU are...

Do you find it Ironic that YOU and UK fans like you constantly and I do mean CONSTANTLY bust the Big East's chops but they send your beloved team packing every year? You have no frickin idea who I was pulling for or predicted, I won some money off that game if it means anything to ya, and that bet was made well before any tip off.

GO BUTLER, for no other reason than everything above. They may have been one of the lower teams in the conference but at the end of the season there was none playing better and that proved out in the NCAA Big Dance. Funny how some said that one game between UK and UCONN could not settle the arguement of the better conference but NOW that UCONN has made it to the national title game UCONN winning the title makes "all the teams look good in the Big East". If one game can't settle a conference arguement then how can one team's accomplishment make all the other teams in the conference look good after the showing the "other" 10 teams had collectively in the tournament? Seems to be a whole lot of Big East fans wanting to step out of the shadows to show support for their conference and UCONN that played the part of the invisible man BEFORE the UK and UCONN game. Anybody can crawl out of the woodwork to root for a team or conference AFTER the game is played.

Yes, I admit the Big East is the better conference just like I said I would do BEFORE the game was played. But I also admit that it was VERY LAME that Tim T was pretty much the only one that supported a Big East team all year long that came the closest to accepting my challenge. Pretty LAME that it took a couple of Indiana fans to step up for the absent Big East fans and their testicular ability. Pretty LAME that the above clearly states that they want UCONN to win so they can ride the coat tails AFTER the fact but had no clue what a coat tail was BEFORE the game with UK. But what should I expect. The Big East conference is the best but the support that was shown by the Big East fans of that conference towards UCONN before the Kentucky on this board either said one of two things: they were embarrassed by the CONFERENCE results against open competition in the NCAA tourney or they were flat out scared of a UK team that they knew they could not beat. Take your pick
