After 3 Decades of my ACC Fans On Top; My Big East Has a Chance Again

 So these ACC comparisons have gotten me in trouble since as a grade schooler in the heart of ACC country and decided I liked the Marquette coach Al McGuire and was pulling for them against the ACC champ UNC for the 1977 title. That carried over when I went to Marquette and then they joined the Big East.

So I'm quick to point out when the Big East has the edge on the ACC, fully acknowledging that the ACC over history has been the greatest basketball conference. But the Big East has had the edge the last several years, as pointed out in my little graphic of tournament wins per conference team over the past several years. The ACC was back on top by far form 2015-2017, but has slipped behind since then. We will see what happens in the future but I have to grab my moments.

But since 90% of my classmates and friends are ACC fans I fully acknowledge they dominated for three decades and just happy to have a chance for my alma Marquette’s conference the Big East to have a chance again to be the best for the first time since the 1980s 😊. The best by decade:

1970s Pac--8

1980s Big East

1990s ACC

2000s ACC

2010s ACC

2020s Big East has a chance again :-)
