Gator Bait Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I'm a huge ACC fan, but this year the Big East has better teams at the top. UConn, Pitt, Louisville, Marquette could easily match up against UNC, Duke, Wake, and Clemson. I would take Marquette and Louisville over Wake and Clemson. The other 2 would be a toss up. I would give the edge to Pitt over Duke because of Blair. And UNC vs. UConn is what I'm hoping for in the Nat'l Championship because I believe those are the 2 best teams in the country. I wouldn't disagree that the top of the Big East is better than the top of the ACC, but overall....considering all teams....I think the ACC is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinz4Life12 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 did anyone else see hasheem thabeet get put into an arm bar and tossed over the shoulder of pitt's center like a week or so ago? haha it was crazy seein the big man go down like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Bait Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I would def say its close. The Big East is better at the top, and deeper though.I mean jeez, people are saying Gtown is good, and they are 6-10 in the league and in 11th place of 16. DePaul would lose to GT though. G'town isn't very good in my opinion. I think the middle teams of the ACC: Virginia Tech, MD, BC are better than the middle teams of the Big EAst: WVU, ND, G'town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Bait Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 It really doesn't matter though....both are great basketball conferences and both will probably have at least one team in the final four Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattFancy Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I think the ACC and the Big East will have the same number of teams in the tourniment (that is just my opinion) that is a better percentage for the ACC I think the ACC will get 7 and the Big East will get 8. ACC: UNC, Duke, Wake, Clemson, FSU, BC, and maybe Maryland Big East: UConn, Pitt, Louisville, Marquette, Villanova, WVU, Providence, and Syracuse. I don't think VT and Miami have done enough to get in. A good tournament run by either could change things though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gtown isnt a middle team in the Big East, they are closer to the bottom. RPI: Syracuse:23 WVU: 20 Cincy: 53 VT: 60 MD: 52 BC: 48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Bait Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 on second thought...providence probably will get in. Either way, the ACC would have a better percentage of teams in. We could really argue this all day though....going back in forth with stats. Both are really great conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buenosdiaz Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I see VT in before I see MD in. But both could possibly get in. I don't think Providence gets in VT while capable of making a good run but could easily self-implode in the tournament... i remember seeing that vasaillo kid flipping out on the coach a few months ago and being a huge dick in the middle of a close game cuz he wasnt getting his way or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcoles11 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 The better teams in Big East get fat on the bottom feeders of the conference. Depaul, Rutgers, South Florida, St. Johns, and Seton Hall. All terrible. Other than Georgia Tech and Virginia, the entire ACC can give you game night in and night out.

Gator Bait Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 nothing is worse than the BCS....nothing I don't like the BCS....but it is better than college football used to be.....where #1 might be playing #4 and #2 might be playing #3 in the bowl games. Then you have to factor in who beat who by more points and all that noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
