I can just imagine Hall2012 sitting on the couch watching Seton Hall win the first game of the second weekend and thinking, “Man, this is great and all, but it’s still not as cool as winning the Big East regular season.

To think UD, VCU and WSU are sleeping giants is ridiculous. They would have to have been giants at some point in the past. All three are flash in the pan mid-major programs on down cycles that will always come when called. There is no reason to add any of them.


You are an idiot. I have been on this forum for almost 5 years and have thousands of posts to back up my Xavier allegiance, so f*** off.

I kind of thought the same thing. Who gives a rat's ass about the regular season? Its just a means to an end.

And, anyway, the weeks in the AP Top 25 is sort of a proxy for that anyway, but at a national level.

Maybe it's just me, but give me a Sweet 16 (and of course, anything better) over a Big East championship (regular season or championship) any day.

Public perception on a team/season/program is how well you do in the NCAA Tournament. For better or worse, that's the truth.

(To get back on track---- expanding past 10 right now would be stupid.)

The DudeAnon is a bonafide X guy.

Although I would prefer one top tier (Zags) and 1 bottom tier team (choice of StL, St Bonnie, BU, DU, or god forbid- a public school). Go ahead and add 2 bottom feeders- as JP stated - they boost the middle and top tier teams with up to 4 more wins. 1-7 make the dance annually, and 8 in good years, perhaps 9 on occasion. Luv those NCAA credits checks - keep them coming.

We interrupt this thread for a special message from an unaffiliated college basketball fan who attended this afternoon's game between Saint Johns and Duke:

"The thought of BE expansion at this time is a stupid idea."

UConn's chances of an invitation just went to 0 -- hooray!

We would let Duke in, wouldn't we? ;)

Looks like St. Johns should join the ACC. They'd dominate there.
