I can't help but think of the success Marquette, Cincy, and Louisville have had in the Big East over the past eight years. UAB used to play all of them in C-USA.

UAB's records:
Marquette 8-12
Cincy 10-15
Louisville 4-12

UAB used to also play DePaul. UAB is 14-19 against DePaul over the years.

(Thanks, BlazerNation.com)

In 2006, all of those teams moved on to the Big East. It has not panned out very well for DePaul.

2006: 5-11 tied for 13th
2007: 9-7 tied for 8th (best year, by far)
2008: 6-12 tied for 12th
2009: 0-18 last
2010: 1-17 last
2011: 1-17 last
2012: 3-15 last
2013: 2-16 last

That's 27-113 in regular season BE games, or 19.3% winning percentage. Over the past five years, DePaul has won seven BE games. Seven!

I'm not sure of the significance of all of this, but wanted to look at a BE team that hasn't enjoyed the success of some of our other former conference mates.
