Since nobody said it yet (and the fact that a Duke Fan started the thread is too hard to pass up

), I'll say it - cograts to Pitt for winning the Big East conference.
I know there is a great deal of talk lately about how the Big East is really not the best bball conference this season, but the facts are hard to dispute. Yes, they have 16 teams, but 10 or 11 of those teams will make the tourney. There has been as many as 8 teams ( 1/2, after all) ranked at any one time. And finally, if you look at the numbers only two of the 16 teams have losing records outside the conference.
Sure there is too much hype regarding Big East, but that hype machine runs a muck in all areas of sports these days. Given Pitts history in the tourney I am hardly predicting a championship. I could see OH state,
Duke , Kansas or any number of other teams winning it all. Still, all and all, congrats again to Pitt for winning the toughest conference this season.
