ESPN Infleunce

The selection committee must be a little red faced for buying into the ESPN hype about the Big East.

Nine down, two to go.

Their top Big East pick gets knocked off by a Butler team that is a player short of last year's runner up.

Their number two team thrashed by a Leonard Hamilton coached team.

The two they get in get there by beating their own.

:clap :woot

Unfortunately the Big 12 must be a little red faced today as well.

Big East is overhyped every year...but all 11 teams definitely deserved to get in.

Debate for eleven teams is worthy, but anything less than 10 would have been wrong. It was by far the best conference this year.

well, I actually might agree ... but like someone else stated....who was left out?

Really - all of the halfway decent teams were in the tourney. Va Tech and Colorado were left out, but they're certainly not head and shoulders above Louisville and others.
