Just not very good at the top. Some solid teams that are maybe competitive in the 15-40 team ranking range. Not a joke league but nowhere even close to ACC.
 
I remember when we were in the BE, it was similar. I always remember people excusing it as "Big East teams beat up on each other in regular season and wore teams down" affecting them in the Big Dance
 
Big 12 officiating is part of the problem. They called about 1/2 as many fouls in the NCAA tournament as in regular season Big 12 play. Two foul shots in the 1st half of Vill/Okla.

Wouldn't that be a huge advantage to a pressing team in the tourney?

I hope you're not a day traders.

Didn't bother all the old Big East teams that made the Sweet 16s, Elite 8s, the final fours and the teams winning National Tittles. The Big12 and the old Bug East in the same sentence if goofy talk. The New Big East is a joke. Even Nova in the old Big East was rarely better than middle of the pack.
 
Funny how Greggy comes here as "someone who has a lot of friends here" (1800 posts, 8 likes) yet does nothing but talk smack....and yes OP was smack. You just called our FB coach a drunk in another thread so don't act like you come here for civil discussion.....you are pitt scum.

Pitt sux, your new BB coach is a joke (Jamie ran to TCU...LOL), Nardoozy is gone after this year, and..oh yea....pitt eats shit.

Big East basketball won't ever be matched. The ACC is nearing the plateau because half its teams are the Big East.

The conf did just fine in the NCAA tournament. Syracuse, UConn & L'Ville each won national championships in more recent era.

Big East...............Big Least...............it just doesn't matter. Parity is here to stay. Take a look around and ..............boy I know you scared!

This is exactly the problem. The Big-12 officiating is soft. If they let the teams beat the crap out of each other on the floor, they would be more than ready for the dance later on.
 
Yea.. ..the officials.

According to this forum they either call fouls too often or not often enough. Those dumb bastards don't know how to make fans happy.

Why can't a conference like the Big 12 hire competent officials? Seriously, don't look to me for the answer.
 
Last I checked, the conferences didn't hire officials in bball. That's why we still get Higgins and company.

The conferences most certainly do hire officials. Just because they contract it out, they are still payed and controlled by the conferences. For those that say they are not league officials, you're wrong. If a conference can give you a job and then fire you, you're a conference official.
 
The B10 got no teams in the 8 and the PAC12 got 1, not that facts should enter the discussion Greg.

Money never sleeps but you'd have no idea about that right? Do you ever get tired of having no friends? I'll make a deal with you bro. If no one likes your post by midnight I'll be your friend and kick ya a like.

No, then that makes them contractors. Contractors can, by definition, be hired and fired. Conferences have zero control over refs and the only thing they can do is after any transgressions happen.

Note to Self: Dear Self, do not post early in the morning because someone on an Internet forum might consider that something only a loser would do... ...and Self please don't reply asking why. ...you need to take that up with Tire....

Is 3:33 am early in the morning not very late at night? Kinda borderline. I'll study it and get back to you.

Note that I posted at a very normal 6:26 pm and not at a time when drunks wake up in a ditch or pitt grads take a snack time break at work.

CoalBucket..................... you know good and well that the conference shiny shoes control what goes on with regard to hiring and firing of personnel (refs). You and I have no control over this but..............we ain't shiny shoes either. You are an intelligent person and came within a 30 credits of graduating at WVU.
