Getting lost in all the realignment talk; the Big East is dominating right now.

[kryza]

The Big East is going out in style...

• It is now the only conference where all teams have a winning record
• The conference has 28 straight wins in a row
• No Big East team has lost a game since December 5th.
• All 15 BE teams are ranked in KenPom's Top 100

Why is this not all over ESPN!? The BE is tearing it up so far.

After a slow start, the Big East has been doing very well.  It isn't being talked about because: 1) Conference re-alignment is dominating any conference headlines;  2) Big Ten is the best conference to date.

2) Big Ten is the best conference to date.

Someone forgot to tell the Big East that...we are 4-3 against the Big Ten so far [/halfteal]

Good thing West Virginia left.  4-5.  I almost feel bad for them, except I don't.

Good thread kryza.

It's particularly important for MU this year that the BEast has a strong non-con.  Let's be honest; we're not likely to be the #2 team this year.  I'm all for achieving the maximum possible conference bids come March.  I'm not suggesting in any way that we're a bubble team but I'd sure like a nice cushion.  No doubt 2 years ago we rode some BEast bootstraps all the way to the Sweet 16.

Yes the B1G is a better conference.  But as of now all 15 BE teams are in KenPom's top 100 where the B1G has 8 of its 12 teams in the top 100.

B1G has better top teams (or a larger number of elite teams the the BE) but the bottom of the BE is much stronger than the bottom to the B1G.
