Of all people, shouldn't a Big East fan be mad that the Big East teams are dropping like flies?
I don't think that anyone will deny that Big East teams haven't done well thus far, although with 11 teams in the tournament there were a few games where they played each other. I also think that most of those 11 teams deserved spots in the tournament, and I'd argue that the Big East is, and almost always has been the best basketball conference in college basketball (although it's sometimes a tie with the ACC), but I know that you weren't bringing up the SEC comment to insinuate that argument, so I'm certainly not mad at you.
Besides, my team is one of the 2 Big East teams remaining (I'd have lost a bet on that one), so at the moment I'm happy.
