Predictions of anywhere between 3 and 6 BE teams in the field. Feels safe to say the "we were robbed" crowd will be large this year.

Haha. St John’s wasn't even in the first four out.

Only 3 BE teams in the field, not going to go over well…
… and I was led to believe that hiring Rick Pitino was a lock for the NCAA tournament.

St Johns got screwed. NCAA not doing Ricky any favors. Not even on the first four out line is asinine. They are better than Virginia on nearly every level. Better than TCU, Colorado St, Michigan St, Boise St and probably Colorado.

GU and DePaul were bad and hurt the resumes of everyone else in the league, but the league was still ranked second overall. If the committee can’t look at that metric, pair it with how bad GU and DePaul were, and figure out that the other nine teams must be pretty good, that’s on the committee, not on the two really bad teams.

Don't cry for me, Rick Pitino ...
Yeah, SJU took it in the shorts. Residual NCAA resentment against him?
By eye test, Virginia? SMDH

ESPN talking bubble right now.
Started with Pitt & OU discussion. Then moved to Indiana St.
Didn't bother to talk about Seton Hall - the other of the first four out.
Not a single word about the Big East overall. Very conspicuous in its absence.

I hope all three of the BE teams go to the E8. Total screw job by the committee. No tears for Providence, though.

Blaming Georgetown for other teams missing the tournament seems misplaced. The conference had 5 teams between 11-9 and 9-11 records. The problem with that in part is that it doesn’t allow any of them to break out and so while some are good teams, their records won’t show it as much. It’s also hard to leave out teams with 14 wins, rather than 11, for example. Have you seen the standings for the Big 12 which is projected to get 9 teams in? The SEC got 8 teams. Tied for most. Missouri went 0 for.

MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO PROVIDENCE, SETON HALL, VILLANOVA AND ST. JOHNS. WHEN THE SELECTION COMMITTEE REVIEWED THAT A MINIMUM OF 16 OF THEIR WINS WERE AGAINST DEPAUL AND GEORGETOWN, TWO SUBPAR PROGRAMS, THEY WERE OUT.
THE BIG EAST SHOULD BUY OUT BOTH PROGRAMS AND SELL THEM TO A DIVISION 2 LEAGUE.
