Good win for the Big Ten
The Big East has been Villanova and the 9 Dwarfs since the exodus. I think the only other squad to make noise was Xavier one year who made it to the Elite 8. Besides that, has any other Big East squad made any noise in the dance?Yup. And more proof that the Big East is a shadow of its former self. Even in a supposed “down year,” the Big 10 is considerably stronger.
I would take Seton Hall's consistency in getting a NCAA bid as a positive ,The Big East has been Villanova and the 9 Dwarfs since the exodus.

True. A good friend of mine is a Georgetown alumnus who graduated during the Hoyas hey day in the 1980's in the then powerhouse Big East. He recently confessed to me that with the loss of major players like Cuse, UConn, Pitt, Louisville, etc. the Big East will never be a top-ranked conference again. I think he's right. Too many small Catholic schools with relatively small followings compared to the big State U's in conferences like the Big 10.
Don’t know the numbers, but the Big Ten is always number one in the country.
That's why Big East admitted UConn. Its slow demise was happening and UConn may bring it back back to relevance as UConn BB was also dying.its an overrated conference ranking wise....the decline is happening albeit slowly, it is happening, the depth aint there anymore

Big East always stinks. How long can they live off of their rep from decades ago?
At least every team in their conference has made the tournament in the last twenty five years .
Big East also had 2 National Championships in the last 5 years. Not so with the Big.
conferences don't win national titles.
Big East did finish #1 in KenPom back in 2006, though, so congrats to them for that!
A Big East School (not named 'Nova) riding Villanova's success is as lame as Rutgers football, as pitiful as we are right now, trying to associate with Ohio State's recent success winning the College football national championship.Big East also had 2 National Championships in the last 5 years. Not so with the Big.
