College Basketball teams have many more conferences than football conferences. Even small colleges can field quality national Basketball teams. A group of so-called "Catholic colleges" have taken the old Big East conference name and it now is for Basketball teams. Butler, however, is not affiliated with Catholic Universities, it is a private non religious university.
Villanova, Seton Hal,l Butler, Providence, DePaul, St. Johns, Creighton, Xavier, Georgetown, and Marquette
The Big East had 3 teams in the Final Four in 1959. California def. West Virginia (Big East) in the championship...Louisville (Big East) and Cincinnati (Big East) lost in the Final Four. (I don't know if those teams were in the Big East back in 1959, but they are currently)
Probably yes. SEC teams have won the last 6 BC national championship games. Big east teams have't been nearly as dominant in the NCAA tournament. Last 6 winners have included ACC (Duke, UNC), Big 12 (Kansas), and SEC (Florida). I'd agree that Big East is the best in college basketball though.

Notre Dame's basketball team is in the Big East, and its football team is an independent.
ACC has 12 teams, Big 12 12 teams, Big East 16 teams, Big Ten 11 teams, PAC 10 10 teams, and SEC 12 teams. So 73 teams for 2010-11 season.

Yes. They won the Conference tournamet in 2004 (Big East).
When it comes to college sports there are six major conferences. The six conferences are the big east, ACC, SEC, Big 12, Big 10 and the Pac 10. The big east has teams like Connecticut, West Virginia, Syraucse, Cincinnati, Villanova. The Atlantic Coast Conference(ACC) has teams like Duke, North Carolina, Virginia, Wake Forest. The Big 12 has teams like Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Oklahoma State. The Big Ten has teams like Purdue, Iowa, Penn State, Indiana, Illinois. Lastly, the Pac Ten has teams like UCLA, USC, Washington, Washington St. There are the six major conferences, but when it comes to the March Madness in college basketball watch out for the mid major conferences (OVC, MVC,Ivy league, etc)
This year, the Big East had the most entries into the tourament. In fact, as a side note, three of the four number one seeded teams are from the Big East (Louisville, UCONN, PITT), the other, North Carolina, is from the ACC. Other Big East teams this year are: Syracuse, Boston College, Villanova, West Virginia and Marquette. Thus giving the Big East 8 teams. The next two are the Pac-10 and Big XII, both with six from each.
