When I sat and watched team after team from the Big East lose over the weekend I began to wonder... how many of these terrible teams made the field of 64? The number 11 kept popping in my head but I needed to get to my bracket to confirm. This had to be wrong, there's no way 11 of these teams made the big dance.
Yet to my surprise, 11 it was. Now they're down to 2.
Don't get me wrong, Kemba Walker is great and Marquette is a well coached squad. That being said, even the two teams that advanced will be lucky to make it any further. Both teams only had to beat fellow conference teams to continue dancing.
So the question arises, why did the committee think that the Big East was such a beast? Is it the TV exposure that these
teams receive being in the biggest markets? You tell me.

We haven't seen them in the tournament since 1993. Is this the year they finally turn things around and make it back to the Big Dance?

They currently sit at 26-5 and are scheduled to play VMI tonight in the conference championship opener.
What can we expect from them?

Congrats to all you Duke fans. You've won it all. You've taken down the mighty Butler Bulldogs in the championship game. What a joke. We're all going to look back at 2010 and absolutely forget about Duke.
Future NBA All-Stars = 0
Player's with personality = 0
Jackasses = 3 (Scheyer, Singler, Coach K)
The only team I'll remember from 2010 will be the Kentucky Wildcats. If they made the decision to stay together for a few more years like the back to back Gators, we'd be talking about that group as one of the greatest CBB teams ever assembled.
