Neither team will be in the Final 4. Mark it down now, the ACC's glory days are over!

Duke is very overrated, shouldn't be ranked...

TB,

You shouldn't make fun of UC, a very bad UC team beat your soft, miserable XU that will go to the NIT, they stink, they are an embarrassment. The Big East is rebuilding this year, lots of guys went pro last year, and I knew UC wouldn't be good for another 3 years, they haven't had a recruiting class in 2 years. They have a new good coach, seriously upgraded facilities, the Mighty Bearcats will be back to where they should be, but even a very bad UC team, beat Xavier, now that's funny...

A nice way of saying they are a terrible conference but once again will get more teams than deserved into the Big Dance.

They are really terrible; a rebuilding year in the Big East is a really good year for most leagues...

Pitt, G-Town(very underrated dangerous team),Marquette,Notre Dame are all pretty good and will likely be represented in the Elite Eight with a team or two...

You have a bias against the Big East that won't allow you to see it for what it is, remember when everyone was bagging on the SEC last year, well that worked out okay for them in the end...

Looks like the bad Big East just beat another soft overrated West Coast team, hell even a bad Cincinnati team beat West Virginia, but I guess the leagues that you like and deem worthy all get deserved teams into the Big Dance....

Guys these teams are constantly changing. The season wears on and the young players start getting tired. Some of the more even-tempered teams start getting good, its very tough to see who exactly is emerging.

I think the Big East is a very tough conference. Lots of evenly matched teams with none in the category of Florida or UNC, but what conf. does have a teams like these? Maybe two in the Big 10 (Wisc./Ohio ST.), and then it falls off fairly rapidly. The Big 12 I see ATM as a very tough team, and maybe Kansas, but after that, very inconsistent. The Pac 10 looks to be reasonably deep with UCLA very good (even with the loss yesterday). And lots of good mid majors, none of which I would put in the category of any of the teams mentioned above.

It is going to be a great tournament. I know a lot of people will have Florida penciled in all the way to the finals but a little foul trouble to key players... they are not that deep. And UNC is very deep but very young, they can get a bit out of control. CANT WAIT FOR THE TOURNEY.

My team, Texas, is going nowhere. The worst defensive team I have seen in a long time, although Durant is fun to watch. Just found out he has a 7' 4" wingspan on a 6' 9" frame. I was trying to figure out how he could block so many shots barely jumping.

We gotta get some tournament contest like last year. I believe Gander ruled the day... we gotta beat that boy down this year.

Xavier wouldn't make the Tournament in the Big East and that's no joke...

Xavier has never had a period when there was no recruiting for 2-3 years, this team is bad, I knew it was going to be bad for the next couple of years, I am a fan and still watch the games even though it pains me, you won't see me jumping ship like all of these whiney losers who can't get over the fact that Huggins isn't here anymore. I am glad he's gone, I think they will be better off for him leaving.

I'll tell you one thing though, they are really bad this year, but there is a college superstar on this team in Deonta Vaughn, he's one of the best freshman that UC has ever had, he'll be here for 4 years and by his senior year, they will be back and all of you will be talking about Deonta Vaughn. I have never seen such court awareness from a freshman, especially on a bad team.

Make no mistake, this should have been a good year for X, but they are soft and NIT bound...

xavier is a disapointment this year.. i've never been so high on a xavier team in my life(even when they had david west)... sean miller should get fired! if hes bad with this team, i would hate to see how he would do with next years team

Kenyon wasn't a good Freshman, he had raw talent you could see that, but he didn't play very much, he would get in, block some shots and foul everyone in sight. Saterfield and Johnson were both good Freshman, but they played with Kenyon and Pete Mikeal. Logan rarely played as a Freshman, he was in the same class as Saterfield and Johnson. This kid Deonta Vaughn reminds me of Logan, but faster and sees the floor better. He has no one, he's on a bad team and everyone keys on him, if he had some players, he would be raved about. He's a good shooter, but I love the passes he makes. He already broke the scoring record for a Freshman at UC.

The "Fraudulent-At-Homers" lose again, too bad they can't play every game Cameron in front of those classless punks, they might win more, maybe they can lobby the ACC to play all home games, like they do in the pre-conference part of their schedule...

TB...so many good players you never had the pleasure of seeing. Ask some older people about Bernard King...wow...that brotha had the softest shot I have ever seen.

Comparing Bernard King and JJ Redick is an insult to Mr. King. Redick is not the player Albert King was.

I dont think they were really doing that. If so that is laughable. B. King was one of the best scorers ever. Possilby the quickest jumpshot I have seen.

Chuck...would NEVER think of comparing those two. Got to see BK a couple times at the old Capital Center in Landover when the Bullets played there. Man, could he shoot or what??
