Rather, the Big East should have 7, and the Big Ten should have 5 or 6 depending on how teams do this weekend. Think what you will, and I see that most are retreating at least from South Florida, but the Big Ten will outperform the Big East in the tournament. The Big East basically massages itself all year into high RPIs, and then it will show its true lack of strength in the tournament. I hope they get 9 in, so all can see how that conference really blows. Give me a shout back in a few weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-68831834873276121522010-03-11T08:48:49.960-05:002010-03-11T08:48:49.960-05:00You can't just a team off of one head-to-head ...You can't just a team off of one head-to-head match-up. I'm a huge Big 10 fan and have been my entire life, but the Big 10 blows this year. I actually believe the Big 10 teams who are seeded are probably seeded too high. Their record means very little when the poor performance of the conference is considered. 4 of the 11 teams are below .500!<br /><br />Also UConn is not in the tourny. Their season ending losing streak kept them out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-44232790265538237062010-03-11T00:09:44.812-05:002010-03-11T00:09:44.812-05:00To Anonymous at 3:25 PM...

Why was the Big Ten 5-2 overall against the Big East this year, 4-2 against Big East teams you put in the 64, and 3-1 in games where Big Ten teams not slated to make it played the Big East (Indiana v. Pitt, Northwestern v. Notre Dame, Michigan v. Marguette, and Michigan v. Connecticut). I'm not saying Indiana or Northwestern make it in, but I've got seven Big Ten in (the four plus Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois) before I have 9 Big East in. I'd put my money on those seven going 6-1 versus your Big East nine not doing better than 5-4 in the first round. I do not think you can be serious about putting less than 5 Big Ten through or more than 7 Big East, even while adhering to your purpose and design.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-39118789269824749532010-03-10T20:14:20.289-05:002010-03-10T20:14:20.289-05:00Wow, Tulsa, wow.

Again, though, with your same proviso that the favorites continue to win at the rate they are now. <br /><br />And remember the out-of-the-blue bid to Arizona a couple of years ago? True, no Lute Olson factor, but I am sure the Committee would not be entirely opposed to getting a southern California / Arizona geographic area representative into the tourney. Right now they have only San Diego St (who ASU has already beaten) unless one wants to consider UNLV as that area. TV ratings and filling the arenas are clearly not totally irrelevant.DavidATLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9072987.post-86948513105453679172010-03-10T17:20:38.985-05:002010-03-10T17:20:38.985-05:00What does that do to Mizzou's seed?

I think they are also ahead of Wisconsin, too. They probably fell a little too far out of a (perfectly reasonable) concern they were collapsing, but with the convincing wins over Cincy & S Fla, they should be back to their true S-curve spot (14 or so). If they lose tomorrow -- I think they end up at the bottom of 4/top of 5 depending on other results from the weekend.
