Old conference USA rules! (UC, UL, UM, MU)

Freaking weird not seeing UCONN in the top 25. Hopefully we will surprise with going back to running and gunning style of old UCONN basketball.

That top 25 is going to look totally different by the end of the season. SJU, SHU, RU, Gtown, Nova & Uconn are all going to better than people think. Wouldn't be surprised if half of those teams are in the top 25. at some point this year.

The bracket projections put out earlier have the New Big East w/ 8 teams in The Dance (not counting Temple yet / 9 teams with Temple).

Damn the pundits the Beast is going to be the #1 bball conference for a long time.

This one? I only count 6: Marquette, Georgetown, Louisville, Temple, Memphis, & Cincinnati.

Yeah, counting 9 teams for the new BE is fuzzy math.

If you are going to count Memphis and Temple, then you cant count Cuse and Pitt and ND as they are not apart of the new BE anyway. But there may be some other projection that he was referring to. I just cant see anyone projecting the new BE with only 6 teams making the tourney. The league will still be pretty good after the defections take place.
