Well... what do you guys think?? I found this poll about it: http://www.msg.com/collegehoops/ And well I would normally say Nova has a good shot but they have been struggling a lot lately.. So I'm going to vote for West Virgina. They've been looking really good this year.

I am going with WVU also, although if you listen to their coach they may not be a Big East team in the near future! The March Madness Odds have them looking good too.

I think WV will go deep. Cuse, too.

I think Syracuse will get it back together and make a deep run in the Tourney.

Celebration and history lesson

Georgetown isn't going anywhere. My Bobcats rule!

The Mid American Conference doesn't get much ink, but they play good ball in the MAC.

I saw someone say in an online article about the upset that this was the biggest win in Ohio University's history. Not true.

The 1964 Bobcats beat Louisville, Number 2 ranked Kentucky, and gave Michigan starring Cazzie Russell a big-time scare in the tournament that year. They were in the final eight, if I remember right, in a 32-team field.

There wasn't a starter over 6'5" on that team, but they played much taller.

How sweet it is! Anyway, I'm not a drinker, but I'll tip a couple tonight in tribute to the Bobcats, and to the proof that there's no such thing as divine right of kings in the NCAA tournament, however much they may try to institute it with their seedings.

Anything that takes some of the air out of the Big East is all to the good, as far as I'm concerned.

The Big East and ESPN is a joke. Clearly they aren't as good as they were made out to be.

The Big East is to basketball as the SEC is to football. A good conference often given too much credit because if they beat up on each other it is parity, if other conferences do they just all are average.

There is a double standard involved. That said, the Big East is still a very good basketball conference.

I thought the same thing, it shows what I knew/know.

I have West Virginia in the title game. After watching the Big East in this toruney, I'm quickly regretting that pick.
