MU is a 6 seed in the Big East and could very easily get a 5 seed nationally in the tournament. Now, I realize the 5 seed nationally really means the 20th-23rd best team in the country but shows a lot about this conference.
I could see 5 Big East teams getting top 5 seeds including two as 2 seeds.

No kidding. Watching Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. It's hard to believe that Cincinnati is an under .500 Big East team. It's hard to believe that Villanova was a .500 Big East team. I think the league has nine teams that are qualified for the NCAAs.
By the way, I went to Indiana 3 years ago to see DJ play in an high school all-star game. Deante Vaughn played in that game and I believe was an Indiana commit at the time. Any way, I'm completely shocked how awesome he is now. At the time, I thought he was a little slow and couldn't shoot. Boy was I wrong. He looks like such an old-school Cincy guard, though...not much height, wide body, and physical as hell.
Vaughn was tough, but he shot 8 for 24 from the field.

It was getting humorous having the announcers talk about how hot he was being as he missed shot after shot after shot.
Those 4 3's in a row were pretty cool though.
Bobby Knight said at halftime..."The Big East has more top flight programs in it then any other in conference"
Do you believe Bob Knight or do you believe the great Len Elmore, who thinks the ACC is the best conference this year from top to bottom?
Elmore is the worst. Bob Knight, on the other hand, is pretty enjoyable and seems pretty natural in the media. Who would have thought?
