we are still better off than the AAC, A-10 and even some F5 conferences all things considered.

Um, what? We are still pretty much better off than every single conference in the country.

I don't get the reason why SJU didn't shoot a 3 during those last few possessions. There is a greater chance to hit a three than there is to hit a 2 and hope for TO or missed FT's.

Not necessarily true when there is St. John's on the front of your jersey.

Had we beaten Wisconsin and Gonzaga, I think the argument could've been made that top to bottom we are. But we didn't, then X and Creighton lost 2 stinkers. For this year, here is how I see the College Ball landscape.

1st Tier: ACC, BIG 10, BIG 12
2nd Tier: Big East, Pac-12, SEC
3rd Tier: A-10, AAC
4th Tier: Everyone else

Last year we were in the 3rd tier, this year we have jumped to the second. The good news is I see most of the programs in the BE on the rise, so eventually we could be in the 1st tier.
