like wvu did not go into ncstate and kick the shit out of them on states home court? and then va.tech and miami who were big east bottom feeders come in and make noise in the acc. good conf but not head over hills above a few others.
I think the ACC is the best conf. I also think the RPI was correct in ranking ACC #1 and Pac 10 #2.
Duke and UNC looking strong.
Arizona and Washington looking strong.
Lets see how the rest of the tourney plays out but as of right now, Big East gets THUMBS DOWN! I also give the SEC THUMBS DOWN!
ACC #1 by landslide!
Maybe UCONN and WVU gets respect for Big East.
Duke and UNC looking strong.

I wasnt really that impressed by Duke in the first game. I guess we shall see tomorrow if Miss State decides to play. I dont know what to think about UNC-Iowa St. If anything like today there should be some good games...........
why does everybody pick on the big ten. one of the best ats conference past two years in this tourney and still have three teams left this year. You all must be talking about the conference 3years ago. wake up and look at their record lately. Their by no means an over rated conference. They're not real deep this year but will be reloading next year with allot of talented freshman and sophs playing.
You guys know I have to chime in when the ACC and UNC is involved.
I think Sun made a good point, it's not that the conference as a whole is overrated but some of the teams at the top are.
And scott4 is exactly right, as difficult as it might be for you guys to accept, Carolina players just did not care much about the ACC Tournament. Would you guys agree that the philosophy of the coach rubs off on the team? Because I do, and Roy said multiple times throughout the season that he hates conference tournaments. He said it right before the ACC Tourny. And I don't think it was to make an excuse if we lost, it's because he just doesn't think they serve much purpose. Well, when your coach shows that attitude it's no suprise it will rub off on the players.
Sean May summed it up the best after Carolina lost to Georgia Tech. He said "we were fat and happy after our regular season title". Now you guys have seen that when this team "wants" to turn it on they are one of, if not the best team in the country. Whether or not they will hold that intensity is questionable.
Also a good point about McCants being out by Scott. I read a very impressive breakdown by a reporter in Charlotte that actually showed that without Rashad the Heels allowed about 9 pts a game more and averaged about 6 or 7 less possessions on offense. People may say he's a liability but he's an important piece of the puzzle.

I know one team that is continually overrated: Wake Forest... LOL. Also, I think every middle of the road "Big" conference team can beat any other middle of the road "Big" conference team on any given day.
This year these teams stand out from the others: Illini, UNC, Duke... But watch out for Nova.

wake forest is the worst tournament team during the past 10 years or so...always talented but they cant get it done in march
I'm still trying to figure out how a conference is good or bad. There seems like so many factors that could play into how you could rate them.
