Big East All Conference Team is Better Than Any Other in the Nation

The Big East pre-season all conference team is out and it the first team is stacked.  UConn's Jeremy Lamb has remarkable talent that was on display during UConn's national title run. Pitt's Ashton Gibbs is a lethal scorer who shares a first name with a guy named Kutcher and a shooting motion with a guy who has involuntary muscle spams. SU's Kris Joseph is healthy and is ready to lead one one the deepest teams in the country while simultaneously raising awareness about how delicious poutine is. Notre Dame's Tim Abromaitis can shoot the rock better than Mike Brey can model turtlenecks.  Kevin Jones from West Virginia can out-generic name anyone in the land and Darius Johnson-Odom is explosive off the dribble and his use of hyphens fills up highlight reels on a nightly basis.

Sure the group is small -- consisting of 2 guards and 4 wing players, none of whom is taller than 6'7", but that is irrelevant.  This is the best basketball team on the planet and it's not even close.  This fact is not up for discussion - if you put this team on the floor they'd beat any other team in the country and here's why -- there's six of them.  You play 6 on 5 and you've got yourself quite an advantage there.  That's just science. Check it out.

Obviously the league did this because they decided not to name a second or third team and had to properly honor the 6 best perimeter players in the league.  Without second or third teams it wouldn't be right to slight of one of these guys.....unless in fact there were second and third teams, which curiously consist of just 5 guys each.  Second and third teams must not be that special. 

Clearly this is the type of out-of-the-box thinking that the soon to be formed SunBeast Conference will embrace.
