Since the Big East decided to form a basketball mega conference. I have had to constatnly reminded people that this is nothing like we have ever seen before in college basketball. The current incarnation of the Big East is the best conference in the HISTORY of college basketball...and I challenge anyone to make a case against that statement. The 11th best team in this conference would contend for a conference championship in the SEC or the Pac-10...and that isn't being said as an insult to those conferences. The Big East is that good...and the players know it. Is there any conference tournament with the atmosphere of the Big East. That's because the Big East is the best group of 16 teams your going to see until the Sweet 16 in mid March.
