Watching the UConn/St. John's game, the announcer stated that the Big East was beyond a doubt the toughest and/or best basketball league in the nation. Really? There is almost infinite doubt and no factual basis for this. The Big East may be fourth this year behind the B1G, Big 12, and SEC....maybe. It really irks me that things like that are allowed to be stated on national television when they are not based on fact.
UConn rules the roost in that conference and they can slide with the best. SLU and St John's are currently in the top 25 at 21 and 24, neither of which is a big threat to the top 5 in the B1G or Big 12. Too many fools in the world today think they can make any statement and it will be taken as the truth.
