St Johns went into tonights game at MSG against UConn ranked 11th in the Big East, and unranked in the national polls. They proceeded to rout UConn, adding another top ten team to their list of 2011 MSG conquests, which includes Georgetown, Notre Dame, and Duke as well. All four of these teams are virtual locks for top two or three regional seeds in March. Rutgers, 12th in conference upended tenth ranked Villanova last night, and appear to be on quite an upward trend.
The Big East should and probably will place 11 teams in the NCAA tournament, maybe more if the upset dominos fall just right. I've never seen anything like it.
