Does a UCONN championship vindicate the Big East?

I don't believe it's a vindication of 1st round exits, especially with Pitt going out earlier than most expected. ("Fortunately," the team they lost to is in the Final Four.)

But a UCONN win not only vindicates UCONN (as Chicos suggested) but does somewhat lessen the stink on the Big East's lack of "expected wins." Especially, when you view it in the light of a 9th ranked team in the toughest D1 league, winning the title.

That's kind of the perspective I'm viewing this from. I know they don't make up for everyone else's bad performances, but it says something that they were 9th in the league.

Not sure the BE needed vindication, but I understand that B10/1/2 fans will twist the BE record to suit their needs.

I never thought BE had 1 great team.  Thought that they had the most good teams.
