Message: [QUOTE="Charlie, post: 208808, member: 1639"] Is the BE deserving of 7 or 8 teams? Maybe not, but boy is it hard to find other teams more deserving... As has been repeated many times here, the bubble is incredibly soft this year. And while last years tourney results were a bit of a disappointment for the BE in some eyes, weren't there 2 BE teams ousted by other BE teams... not late in the tourney mind you, but in the round of 32? Additionally, isn't it difficult to really call it a flameout when the 9th place team wins the tourney? I think most conferences would be crowing if any team outside of their top 4 or 5 won the entire thing regardless of what the rest of the league did. I guess it just depends on how you define tournament success for a league. As for the UK fans - who cares... I think the insecurities they have about the lack of quality they have within their own conference is showing. [/QUOTE]
