I know they have 3 Top 25 wins, but those wins were all soft. They beat a Cal team that had no business being ranked in the top 15, let alone the top 30. They beat an Florida team that should not have been ranked. They beat a UNC team (in front of basically a hope crowd at MSG) that is maybe a top 20 team. I want to see them play a team (like Nova) that has multiple fast talented guards before I crown them the real deal. Their zone defense can be exploited, especially by teams that play against it year in and year out.   I'd rank the Hall and Cinci 6 and 7, Pitt 8, and Louisville 9. I've never been a fan of Mike Brey and beating Notre Dame is very easy if you follow one rule: let Harangody get his numbers and shut everyone else down. I believe the rest of the Big East Conference should be scared right now. I personally don't feel that the Cats have played that well (outside of games like Fordham and U of D) this season. You can see on the court that the team is still trying to find it's comfort zone and develop chemistry together. I'm one of the believers that Reggie Redding will help facilitate this team learning how to play with each other, and think it will be done rather quickly. So let me ask you guys this? Like all Jay Wright teams, they're going to get better as the year goes on. Much better. Is there a team in the Big East that will be as good as them in a month and a half? Is there a deeper team? How many teams in college basketball will be as good as them or better? I can only see two teams right now that would worry me and if things break down correctly in March, they wouldn't have to see Kansas or Texas until a Final Four or Championship game.

Is that a good or bad thing?
