    Marquette pissed down it's leg and blew a 10 point to lose to Butler at Hinkle.

    Butler finally has their first conference win.

    Marquette is disappointing to me this season.

    I'm really not sure what butt hurt means, but I just found it strange.

    Completely different? From what exactly?

    The conference was founded by 7 schools and two other schools joined the next two years. Then 12 years later they added another 5, then ten years later they added another five who were members of the league for like nine years.

    So when exactly did the league become "completely different" when 4 of the original of seven are still in the league,as well as 5 of the league first 9 are still in the league?

    It's stupid to suggest that the brand is so important that they must keep if the league is "completely different."

    Creighton at Villanova and Marquette at Georgetown are both huge games tomorrow, but obviously for very different reasons.

    The conference lost more than half the teams that competed in it last year. If that doesn't qualify as "new" I'm not sure what does.

    It literally is a new conference. The conference that used to be the Big East is now the AAC. We're founding members of this league.

    We literally kept the exact same name and logo. A conference with the name "Big East" has played basketball in the United States since 1979.

    Yeah, that's brand new.

    You're looking at it too literally. It's different from what it looked like last year.

    Its not eaxctly old and its not exactly new.

    Al I know is that its better than where we were.

    Next year, they will no longer be calling it the "new" Big East..........so we have that to look forward to. Hopefully someone other than Villanova from the original league will actually help the conference. Marquette and G'Town have been disappointing to say the least.
