A Big East team has won 7 of the last 13 NCAA Tournaments. UConn (‘11, ‘14, ‘23, ‘24) Villanova (‘16, ‘18) Louisville (‘13) Once the Pac-12 officially dissipates, the Big East will be the new Conference of Champions.
@Brad_Wachtel The Big East & ACC continue to be the best conferences in men’s basketball…the results support this (Champs, Final 4, Elite 8, & Sweet 16 participants) despite the national media narrative the past 3 seasons. It’s time for the pundits to admit they were wrong about a shift.
@Brad_Wachtel One sport does not determine a conference the conference of champions. Big East doesn’t even have football and hasn’t won a baseball title since 2001 (by a school not even in the conference anymore).
@Brad_Wachtel A “current” big East team - which is really all that matters - Hall got snubbed
@Brad_Wachtel It’s not just basketball why they say this ya know
@Brad_Wachtel UConn wasn't in the Big East in 2014 and Louisville's title was vacated
@Brad_Wachtel Moving forward, it could be a major issue only getting 3 teams in the tourney.
@Brad_Wachtel But get half the bids of the Mountain West. Don't forget Seton Hall did win the NIT, showing to everyone but the Committee, they belonged.
