I think it's just more disappointing as to expectations that folks have right now. It's kind of like Providence right now- if they were to drop some games here and finish lets say 24-7(losing 2nd round of NCAA) going off of preseason, it'd be a great year. But based on where we are on 2/9/22, it'd be considered a disappointment.
I get that, but even considering today's expectations saying that both a 6 seed needs to take out a 3 and a 5 needs to take out a 4 isn't a reasonable take. As mentioned, I can agree with expecting one of the two to happen, but not both.
I'm not placing too much emphasis on any single team this year. I'd like to see at least 2 teams in the Sweet 16 and one in the Elite 8 (preferably not Nova to mix things up), though I could see the argument for expecting more than that. We have a lot of good teams this year but I'm unsure how many are good enough to make deep runs.
I guess expecting both to make it was unfair but at least one of them should. The Big East has a reputation issue when it comes to the tournament that we choke regularly (outside of Nova.) With 6 to 7 teams and 5 of those likely top 6 seeds, a good tourney would be 3 in the sweet 16 for me. There is always variance, but the Big East is due for a good collective NCAA tourney.
Yeah I agree, 3 teams in the Sweet 16 would be solid.
