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
