NCAA Tournament - non-Big East games discussion

[Omaha1]

Princeton about to make the sweet 16. That's like... what, 6 NCAAT wins for Jersey teams the past 2 years and not one of them from Seton Hall or Rutgers?

Baylor terrifies me tomorrow, but if we can take them down we’ve got Princeton in the Sweet 16.

I think if Nembhard plays well Creighton rolls them, but that's a big if.

With the bracket opening up in all 4 regions, it's really looking favorable for the BE that has a team in each region. Tomorrow might be the most important day for the conference since Nova/UNC.

Big Ten about the end the night with 3 straight losses. There's very real chance that the ACC or the B10 fails to send a team to the second weekend.

Indiana vs Miami is a knockout game for the conferences if the Big East takes care of business elsewhere on Sunday.

What an exciting game from Des Moines!

Kansas goes down to Arkansas


Meanwhile. Princeton working their way to a S16. WOW

Earlier... Duke went down. ACC down to Miami/Pitt.

I haven't really been able to pay attention this year (newborn)... Did the ACC just really suck? They only got 5 bids?

By Kenpom, they were the 7th best conference, behind the Mountain West, and a little closer to #8 AAC than to #6 MWC. By NET, half the conference wasn't considered a Quad 1 opponent on the road, and Duke and UVA were the only Quad 1 opponents at home. In short, yeah, they sucked by power conference standards. Pitt has won a couple tournament games, good for them, but they probably only make the tournament because they were able to run through the ACC.

Edit: I work remotely and my boss is in North Carolina. He doesn't watch a lot of basketball, but he said in a meeting that college basketball sucks this year and there are no good teams. I called him out that he's probably only watched ACC teams in his limited games...and I was right.

Despite the horrific non-con for them (I think metrics had them 7th below MWC), they were getting projected 7 or 8 bids early. But predictably the likes of Florida State ruined that party.

Nembard's carrying his team today.

I think Xavier matches up better against Miami between those 2, so I guess go Hurricanes? yuck
