Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 2871237, member: 636"] Our previous five years in the Big East might have led to that expectation (with an .825 conference winning percentage) but the previous 5 years (with a .607 winning percentage in conference) is just slightly above what we have accomplished in the ACC. And that earlier time period in the Big East did not include a probation and the BE didn't have three programs operating at such a high level as Duke, UNC, and UVA above SU during the 2003-04 through 2007-08 years. It's a matter of perspective. Mine is that not just the probation, but the anti-JB/zone/age-of-JB recruiting tactics by other programs as well as JB no longer being assistant coach to Coach K (who has also moved on) for the Olympics has hurt our overall recruiting tied to the fact that the ACC is simply a better overall conference than the Big East means some of us should dial back our expectations until we see some of these disadvantages overcome.
