08:29 AM ET 02.14 | A month from now, the Big East may make history. The Big East already holds the record for most teams selected from a conference. That's eight. And the Big East has accomplished that feat three times during the past five seasons. This year, the Big East may lap its record. Last week's RPI power ratings, which are considered among the most important of the "tools" used by the NCAA Tournament selection committee to fill the bracket, included 10 Big East teams among the top 38.

Since when is Jamie Dixon the face of the Big East? I think Dixon is a good coach, but I think a picture of Calhoun/Boeheim deserves to be up there...

or at least a collection of BEast school logos... maybe even the conference logo.

I nominate Mike Brey.

I know... I know... Irish Homer talking. But you gotta admit Notre Dame's BBall team is very, very good this season. Can't wait to see what they can do in the tournament.

I'll have to vouch for FJJ...the first one was something about a Butler's playing time.

It is that time of year. College Basketball is that sport I use to kill time between Football and Baseball seasons.

Of course they're going to break the record. There's three more spots in this year's tournament. With a 16 (soon to be 17) member conference, it's sheer mathematics.

Old guard/new guard. Dixon's record is VERY impressive.

Damn number 24 is so efing fine !! Just beautiful !

GO IRISH,, Kick PITTs ass and win the Big East !!

Nice eye candy (candies?)! Jaime Dixon hasn't won anything so get his picture off there. The Cuse's coach Jim Boeheim or UConn's Jim Calhoun or even the Big East's logo should be there before his picture. Hope the Orange can right the ship and do some damage in the tourney(win it, that is).

AND HOW MANY NATIONAL CHAMPIONS??????? OH YEAH, NONE.
