I think it’s clear that this NCAA tournament has pretty much been a disaster for the Big East conference. However, now that Kansas has been upset, the Big East’s failures in this tournament is just one of the stories, not THE story of this edition of March Madness. I was getting worried that in future years, the tournament selection commitee may rememeber our performance this year and slight us a team or two because we have proven so poorly thus far. But now that we’re not the main story anymore, I feel better. If Pitt or Syracuse or West Virginia can make the Final Four, or even win the whole thing, I think all the talk about the Big East’s futility will be forgotten. And now that the Jayhawks are out, that door is open for anyone to win this thing.

One Response to “Kansas’ loss helps the Big East in so many ways”
I wouldn’t be too concerned about this. What this tournament has proved is that mid-majors are stronger than ever. The Big East is still the best basketball conference in the land, if simply by construction: no other conference is really centered around basketball.
An utterly amazing statistic I heard yesterday: 10 seeds are 13-10 against 2 seeds since 1997.
