It was a super busy crazy day on Wednesday. I had three cartoons to finish and some website things to attend to. So I’m getting to your comments late I’m afraid.

In researching today’s cartoon (I always do a lot of reading to get topics and trends) I found some great stuff by Joe Dorish over at Yahoo.com. You can read the entire article here

In a nutshell Dorish had some very telling stats to prove that the Big East have been dominant this year.

Combined the Big East has a 27-15 (.643) record vs teams from the ACC, Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and Pac 10. And that includes winning records vs each and every conference. And the wins are not padded by beating up the weak teams in those conferences.

Only two schools (Auburn and Texas Tech) from those five conferences that have played Big East teams have losing records. Combined all the teams from those five power conferences that have played Big East teams this year have a record of 506-240 (.678).

So Big East teams have won nearly 2 out of every 3 games they played (.643) vs the other power conferences in college basketball this season while the teams they beat have won better than 2 out of every 3 games they have played (.678).

Amazing, huh. And you know how the at large Tourney bids are given, right…just like today’s cartoon.
