Six out of the top twenty, too. More than half the league! Almost as many as our bids last year.

Two people voted for Rider...!

So I see that 36 Cincy fans voted! I'm an XU fan, but I really don't hate Cincy. Too many good memories of the Oscar Robertson era teams from my childhood. I actually root for the Bearcats except when they play a Big East team. FWIW, Duke is waaaay ahead of anyone else on my own personal hate-o-meter.

Creighton & Deighton tied for 17th? That cannot be correct or 12 UNCheater fans voted for my Jays.
It is well known that my beloved Bluejays are one of the cleanest, most honorable, and well loved U's in the land.

Sit on it, Roy...u weak kneed ex-jaychicken/chickenhawk. Cleveland State will pay dearly for UNC's 20 years of cheating.
How dare the Nof Clickians vote hate for my Jays...(Corn & Wheat shuckers fans don't count),
I can't wait to be Top 5 (gotta win a lot to reach the top tier, then whine like Coach K).

ACC is well represented in the Top 10 - no surprise there.
But I am surprised that Iowa, Mich, Bama, Arizona, and Texas are so low on the list.

6 of the Top 20 are BE? The BE as the Top Hated conference? Either football backwash or the basketball version of penis envy! G'twn well deserved and historic - Nova cause they are current 4-peat Champs - X's EE NCAA run probably gave them a big boost. Amazed that CU, Marquette, and Butler got so many votes. The 3 newbies in the Top 20? Could be a "got left-behind", midmajor envy, sort of thing.

Now how can the BE marketers and branding folks take advantage of such a windfall of good fortune? What sorts of campaigns can be created to capture such attention and use it for our benefit and positive league promotions. ExP: "Luv us or Hate us...we're the Top Hoops in the Land". "Luv us or Hate us...We're Hoops 1st". "Luv us or Hate us - the Beast is Back!" or some other slogan/ad campaign.

How about these:
Football produces brain trauma. Go BEAST.
The Big East: Ranked last in D1 in brain damage to student athletes.
The Beast: Educating athletes without brain damage.

I can see Xavier, but cannot believe we got more than a single vote!
