Not only will the Big East Conference get 7 or 8 bids to the NCAA tournament, but a former Big East member, Boston College, will be playing for the ACC tournament championship. While the majority of the state of North Carolina (Wake Forest, NC State and UNC fans) would usually be rooting agaisnt DUKE in today's championship game, I bet that alot of old-liners and tradionalists would not be happy with a newcomer, especially one from the Big East, winning the ACC tournament.
