The Big East was the best conference because the officials let the game be played. The Big East Game was more physical like the NBA. In the ACC the "Blues" historically recruited the country's best shooters and Coach K, Smith, Williams were relentless in lobbying the refs and conference to a point where now if you breathe on a shooter it is considered a foul. Hopefully the addition of Syracuse, Pitt and Louisville will bring back a more physical game to the ACC and in turn make the ACC the a factor again on draft night.
