I've never referred to the team that wins the 4 day tournament as champs. Syracuse was clearly the Big East champs this year

We brought that trophy home either way. I think someone is butthurt jus a lil bit.

Not really. I'll just take the team that went 17-1 in conference as the real champs over the one that wins the conference tourney. Always how I've viewed it

Regular Season Champs > Tourney Champs

Both our conference champs though.

Any coach will tell you 4 games in 4 days is alot tougher. I felt worse when we won the reg season and lossed in the tournament a few years back. It's all about winning in MSG.

The best team would win the most games over a long stretch versus similar competition. Any team can get hot and win 4 in a row.

Any coach will tell you that getting hot for 4 days is tougher than the grind of 2.5 months of conference play and winning on the road? I doubt it

Just ordered me and my dad shirts! HAHAHA!

I think that could be split. Not knowing who you will play for 3 out of 4 games and the fatigue make it much tougher. I agree to disagree.

I would guess most teams that are already tourney bound can give a shit about the conference tourney. Its cool for teams on the bubble and to up your seeding but overall to me the season is far more important.

Yeah cause we were shit and almost on the bubble and won that shit. It means alot just like when we lost as a #1 and got demoted to a #4 seed when we made it a few years back to the final 4.

This isn't about whats important timmeh, it's about how TUF it is. 4 games, 4days.

Not to tough I guess. UCONN just did 5 in 5 days last season. It is starting to happen alittle more often now.

I had Kentucky winning the whole thing from the start and I'll stick with them.

U are right there.

Kansas assistant coach Danny Manning will coach Tulsa next year.

Manning is the GOAT of MCBB!

GOT IT!

All 4 teams representing the great Midwest!

Sucks to lose to the Cats on the big stage but we held our own and have everyone coming back. Next season should be fun. Bring on college football!!!!!

Kentucky looked good tonight in the 1st half.

Hopefully Lexington burns to the ground tonight
