The NCAA had it pitted so 4 of them meet in the 2nd round (the true 2nd round). They could have scheulded/seeded it so that the Big East teams meet in the Sweet 16.

The point is they are overrated. I kept hearing how tough the conference was and I bought it. Pittsburgh had the easiest road they could have ever asked for and couldn't beat a down Butler.
St. John's - Forgot to show up.
Louisville - Embarrassesd.
Georgetown - Embarrassed.
Nova - Lost to George Mason.

Maybe the rest can salvage the conference's rep, but I won't bet a dime on them.

Poon hit the nail on the head. There are only two left because there had to be.

I think UConn would have made it, but Marquette? :nono:

One of my good friends told me this would happen a few weeks ago. I thought he was a little bit crazy at the time... now he looks like a genius.

Who didn't love Barkley calling out Pitino last night on TNT... saying Florida State would whip Notre Shame which they did. The Big Easy is what they should be called after this pathetic showing.

there is no doubt the conference under-performed on the whole. However, there are some things that people who know the conference weren't suprised by. St. John's (injury), G'Town (Wright coming back from injury), Nova (slide to end the season), and ND (short rotation and history of not shooting well in the tourney).
