How many NCAA bids for the Big East?

[herodotus]

I really hope the committee does not put Arizona St in. This atrocious conference does not deserve a bid. Not a single team in that conference had a good OOC.

Put in St. John's, Temple, NC State, Ohio St, etc over them. Any other bubble team.

Agreed! Arizona St. should pay the price for Oregon's stolen bid.

Like I've said all along....

conferences don't get teams bids....

teams get teams bids... your conference is in large part meaningless, outside of your SOS.....

Like it or not, but Arizona St OOC did a lot of good stuff. 3 huge wins OOC- Mississippi St, Utah St, and Kansas. 9-7 away from home for the season.

Each team is judged individually. Not as a collective.

Forget Arizona st. Tell me... what is Washington’s best win this year???

I know they piled up wins but wow the eye test they looked horrible tonight. In a conference championship game. Their best win is probably winning @Oregon the team they just lost to

That is a damning stat. I agree, they need to be given another look.

One win vs the field and zero vs at large teams should not be enough. St. John's has 5 wins vs at large teams.

I don't actually expect the committee to leave UW out since the rest of their resume is solid, but I at least hope Arizona St is left out.

Unfortunately teams get at-large bids, not conferences. It's tough to accept it, but possibility has always existed that a lesser conference may end up with equal or more bids.

Yep, teams get at large bids rather than conferences. Still, I hope if it comes down to Arizona St/Washington vs a team from a better conference, they take the team from the better conference. Conferences are there lobbying for their own conference, and it'd suck to see the Pac 12 get 3 in and a better conference like the Big East or AAC also get 3. Arizona St actually did have a pretty decent OOC, I forgot about that. Washington, however, beat nobody.
