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)
None. Since the expansion to 16 teams.
Notre Dame's basketball team is in the Big East, and its football team is an independent.
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.
