What an absolute joke of a conference. They only had 5 in the Sweet 16. Not to mention that they're all conference team is about as talented as any all conference team ever.
they did well in the tourney, and clearly showed they were a great conference this season, but ya, all that silly talk about gr8est Uf ALLTIMES was always overblown ad-copy and bluster meant to elevate the importance of the 'now'.
But blame the pundits and extremists for that talk, not the big east--who certainly were dominant by normal standards, just sadly not nearly in keeping with the perception and expectation put upon them.
