Big news coming Monday, though. Maybe sooner depending on things.
In the meantime, consider this. One of the undercurrents to pretty much every college basketball season is the shouting between the Big East and ACC over which conference is better. The southern half of the East Coast (plus Boston College) ended the season with the highest conference Pomeroy ranking, while the northern half (plus South Florida) was fifth.
The head-to-head games between the conferences don't conform to the standings, though. In the regular season, the Big East went 6-5 against the ACC, with four of the five losses tallied by teams that didn't make the conference tournament.
In the postseason (NCAA Tournament and NIT combined), the Big East was 4-1. Arguably the two biggest games, Georgetown-UNC and tonight's NIT final between West Virginia and Clemson, both went in the Big East's favor.
Does it mean anything? No, and I'm counting down the ten seconds until someone emails me to make the point. But it's not like bragging ever requires a real excuse.
