Fair to say that ACC was the best conference this year

[OrlandoCuse]

Yes the ACC was weighed down by BC's suckage, but having two #1 seeds and the conference going 8-1 for its first 9 games pretty much drops the mic on the conversation.

 

[Rage4CUSE]

Especially with both the B1G and Big 12 AND Pac 12 crapping the bed in the 1sr round.

Btw, didn't th ACC basically do the same thing last year? Might have went undefeated in the first round.

 

[EastCoast2]

Pitt should have won too, those bat rastards. 9-0 conference start to the tournament may have been historic.

 

[Orangemen]

If Louisville were in it, the conference could probably add two more wins to the total by the end of the weekend.

Kinda explains our crap road record this year.

 

[Briancuse]

If you take out Bc, it was the best conference, Wake who finished 2nd to last beat Indiana and some other good teams ooc, Even Gtech, Fsu, and Va tech are pretty decent.

The Big East has the second best record right now at 4-1 and second most teams left (tied with the Big10 with 4) with 2 games against the ACC coming up later today. If they were to win those they could be considered the best conference at this point in the tournament (just talking about the NCAAT).

i have not gotten over the old big east---best ever---oh well

To be fair --- if Ville was in it, who knows if we would have got a bid.

We would, Tulsa would not. We weren't the last team in.

We would, Tulsa would not. We weren't the last team in.

Apparently, SU was ahead of 5 other teams from being out. So UL and SMU both could've made it and we'd still been in.

 

[OrangeinBoston]

ACC! ACC! ACC!

Take a cue from SEC fans. Always root for your conference against other conferences. If the ACC does well, it will benefit SU. (By the way, it was the same back in BigEast days).

The old BE never got 6 teams into the sweet sixteen though. That would be an accomplishment.

Tell that to the "SU didn't deserve a bid" crowd on this board

We may have been in a play in game. We were not in the last 4 in. We made it comfortably which was a surprise

The old Big East got 5 teams in the Sweet 16 in 2009.

 

[Sgt Cuse]

The old Big East got 5 teams in the Sweet 16 in 2009.

This year the new ACC has 4 in already with two more possibilities and that was with Lville sitting this one out.

Time for the college basketball world to recognize this new league.

Yup - Cuse, Nova, Ville, UConn, Pitt

Speaking of old Big East, what's the most teams the old acc ever put in the sweet 16?

 

[tbouks02]

Speaking of old Big East, what's the most teams the old acc ever put in the sweet 16?

The most the old ACC had in the sweet 16 was four. But they did it 8 times between 1984-1995. They hadn't reached that number again until last year when the ACC had five teams in the sweet 16.

5 teams last year, at least 4 this year. The rest of the country needs to finally recognize where the best basketball resides.

 

[Rage4CUSE]

If Oregon can't win later tonight the Pac-12 is litterally done in the tournament, and will have gotten no teams into the sweet-16 even though they sent 7 teams.

B1G has a chance to redeem itself if Wisky, Maryland and Iowa can each win their respective games, then they'll have at least matched what the ACC has sent so far.

Big 12 has a pretty good chance to get 3 into the Sweet-16 as well. Even though they were supposed to be the toughest pound for pound conference in the country.

And the same goes for TAMU as Oregon, if they can't win their game today, nobody is representing their conference after the first weekend.

If you were rooting against Yale, Providence, or Butler I'm pretty sure you're doing march madness wrong.

Stop. The big east should not be in any kind of comparison talk to the new ACC. That's just nonsense.

 

[longislandcuse]

Im a"Root for the ACC" proponent but I think, looking way too far ahead, it would be advantageous for us to have Virginia eliminated from the tournament, although, again, looking way too far ahead, not sure I'd want to see Niang against our zone.

Coaches are college programs. Just look at our roster of coaches in the S16 and the ones today.

Compare them with the other leagues.

Titles, Olympic medals, etc.

Not close.
