And I respect your point of view that the tournament can't be everything in these types of analyses and if I gave that impression I am sorry.  I just thought it was understood that if a league gets more than 50% of its teams in the dance, then they had a great to spectacular regular season.

But with that now clarified, I don't think the 2011 Big East was a BEAST, because how conference teams perform in the NCAAs is also a significant criteria in judging that conference.  The fact it flamed out so bad in terms of Sweet 16 teams that year shows that it wasn't great, at least to me.   To get 2 out of 9 possible teams in the Sweet 16 that year (there were two BE match-ups in the round of 32 - to account for only 9 out of 11 being able to reach the Sweet 16), hardly demonstrates greatness to me.

Imho, in terms of taking into account both the regular season and the tournament the Big East so far has had the greatest year ever in 1985.  The next best would be the 2009 Big East due to its regular season nudging out the next best which is the ACC from last year.  While equaling BE from 2009, wasn't as dominant during the regular season as those BE teams from 2009.

Cheers,
