Apparently the Big 12 isn't either since they are behind the MVC as well.
Seriously, 1125, I like you but this is nothing but you trying to pick a fight here. Everyone knew that this year would be a down year for the Big East due to the talent that left the conference after last season (the top 12 scorers just to start). The conference has a ton of very young talent, next year the conference will move back up to a top 3 conference.

I am not picking a fight. I didn't realize how low the BE was this year. I just heard all the hype of how it is the best basketball conference in the nation. Just doesn't reflect that as of now. I know the Big 12 isn't doing so hot either.

Last year the Big East was easily the best conference in the nation. This year they are very young (as I stated before), I've seen nobody on this board say anything about the basketball conference being no. 1. Next year and the following year the conference will be back and be as good as they were last year.

Success is cyclical and tempermental. In basketball many power teams are one injury away from becoming below average.

Wow, it looks like a poser clown who tried to make people think he was ever a true UC fan found the Big East board!
How about not being so fair weather you change team affliation due to 1 coaching move and then come back to tell us what you think.

Just go ahead and adnmit it, you were trying to start something here clown. Just look at the title of the thread that you started, which is basically asking how can the Be be a power conference. Whenever the Big 12 can command the amount of respect that the BE has gotten this decade, you can come back and talk some smack, ok?

Texas already lost to Michigan St, Gonzaga (not nearly as good this year as last), Tennessee, Oklahoma St and now to 'Nova on the road.
Next what?

Facting: A slang term referring to the use of simple truths and/or data to prove the value of one's argument or detract from that of an opponent.
Example 1: A messageboard thread's author is making a veiled attempt to criticize the strength of a particular athletic conference. Shadenfreude, if you will, taking pleasure in the supposed demise of said conference. One effective form of retort, then, is to provide factual evidence to contradict the original assumption, and/or provide evidence that said athletic conference might actually be superior to that which is suported by the original author.
The term "Next" is often used in debates and arguments to suggest a point has been closed and it's time to move on. Modern popularity probably stems from pick-up-ball where the winning team, having dismissed one or more opponents, would look to the remaining foes and invite the next challenge.
Placed all together in this context and you get:
Big 12 fan: "The Big East sucks!"
BE fan: "Look who's talking? Unranked BE team beats Ranked Big 12 team 76-69. So what's your next point?"

There's this thing called the second season, the big dance, the biggest show on earth, the tournament....I'll really be interested in seeing how the Big East fairs there this year. Strange things happen at tournament time.

Speaking of the Big 12:
I remember Syracuse biotch slapping 4 Big 12 teams enroute to winning the National Championship in 2003:
In order-->OSU, OU, UT, KU
KState Fan nice try

Hey it's our favorite bandwagon fan! I'm curious, did you post stats showing how crappy the Big 12 was on the Big 12 board?

It means don't talk smack if your conference is getting b*tch-slapped on a regular basis. Why is a C-USA fan defending the Big 12!?

That guy will defend any conference if it means that he can make the BE look not so good. He's taken up for the acc, the SEC and now the Big12. Whats next, the Sunbelt?
