Honestly, I think these teams are pretty much exactly the same. Id say it's probably the 4th/5th best BE team against the 5th/6th best B12 team, and it's playing out that way.

Please tell me Doug Gottleib is being mercilessly trolled for his B12 love.

Ha, that was quick.
Doug Gottlieb @gottliebshow 3s3 seconds ago Twitter overreaction — what if NEastern beats ND? Does ACC stink? LOL -
Sure, Doug. Now it doesnt matter.

Holy merde, two threes (both from the Big 12) down in the first three games. Iowa State was my dark horse to get to the finals. Oops. And what a gag job by Baylor.

Ha, that was quick. Doug Gottlieb @gottliebshow 3s3 seconds ago Twitter overreaction — what if NEastern beats ND? Does ACC stink? LOL - Sure, Doug. Now it doesnt matter. To be fair, I do agree with the sentiment. Iowa St and Baylor aren't worse teams than the ones they lost to, they just choked. They didn't lose because they were overseeded or overrated. They lost because they choked. However, if this were the Big East who just had two 3 seeds go down, Dougie would be singing a completely different toon. This is why the tournament is a terrible indicator of which conference strength. One game means essentially nothing, yet (stupid)people are going to use it as a barometer of a whole conference's success and strength over 5 months. Right now Butler just lost Jones, if he doesn't comeback and Butler loses, does it mean the Big East was overrated and Butler didn't deserve their seed? No. Is that what people will say? Yes.

Well, sure, but that is sort of my point. This is a guy who stakes his whole career on making claims like that. And, yes, if it happened to the BE, he would be the first to point out how our conference sucks. For instance, he said that when DePaul was 2-0, the BE must not be that good.

It's a Notre Dame loss away from perfect! (Not my bracket, but my rooting interests).

Obviously a couple of early round upsets don't prove that a conference isn't any good, but if you want people to believe your conference is strong, putting multiple teams into the Sweet Sixteen helps a lot. And that's easier to do if half of them don't lose on Thursday afternoon. Given the lack of respect the Big East has been getting, being able to say we outperformed the Big XII by X amount would be nice, even if it is kind of a BS way to measure conference strength.

This SMU/UCLA game is offensively bad basketball. I used to coach middle school intramurals and saw better fundamentals.

Horrible loss for SMU. A goal tend called on a three-point shot, and Larry Brown goes to the locker room with four timeouts in his pocket.
