Big 10?

[RhoadsRage]

Will the round of 16 finally convince the national "experts" how overrated this conference really was this year? Wisconsin, Michigan St, and probably Indiana losing and Ohio St possibly going down too.

how many sweet 16 did the big 12 have. dude, the big 10 was better than the big 12 this year.

 

[clonedude]

I hope they all lose in this round. Most overrated conference I've seen this year... by FAR.

They are a fairly deep conference IMO, but no really good teams.

Thats not the point. We are talking about the "best conf in the nation". Not the Big 12.

Big 10 power victories. Still don't think seeding matters?

13 Seed - New Mexico
12 Seed - VCU
15 Seed - LIU Brooklyn
9 Seed - St Loius
13 Seed - Montana
5 Seed - Vandy
15 Seed - Loyola
7 Seed - Gonzaga
7 Seed - St Mary's

I think it's funny that you start out a bash the Big 10 thread with the phrase "Sweet 16", and then list all the Big 10 teams in it.

Since when was this a discussion of B12 vs B1G? The B1G has been overrated all year, and we're seeing it now as their high caliber teams are losing to depleted/low ranked Big East teams.

This pretty much sums up the Big 10 this year

 

[Fletch]

Seeding has a major role in this.

 

[ty4cy90]

ISU could be in the sweet sixteen with a 4 seed too.

Head to head records show otherwise and it will soon be shown that its not a great conference. They were seeded well and beat mid majors

if the big 10 isn't best, who is?

 

[Drive4cy]

The Big 10 will only lose credibility if they all lose in this round, which is entirely possible but not likely.

 

[geburgess]

Well if we are basing it off the tournament, I'll take the Big East. High % of teams in the tournament, and likely to get 3 teams in the Elite 8.

If you want regular season, I'll take B12. 3 teams in the top 10 almost all year, with the best parity from top to bottom in the league. 9 super-competitive teams and TTech.

 

[acgclone]

So far I'd say 4 teams in the Sweet 16 and Purdue nearly took down KU in Omaha, is a pretty good showing for them. I'd put the Big East ahead, but it's close overall, IMO.

I think Ohio St moves on but IMO the Indiana/Kentucky game earlier in the year was the game that the big 10 was built on, all the sudden Indiana looked good and teams got respect beating them. The(UK/UI)rematch will show just what a fluke that first game was.

 

[BloodyBuddy]

Big East is the best.

Big 10, ACC, and Big 12 about the same, slight edge to the Big 10 this year, but any given night someone else could be better.

Been saying this all year.

 

[price26]

if the big 10 isn't best, who is?

The Big East has a chance to put 4 teams in the Elite 8 and already has 2 in.

It may have more teams, but there are a lot of good basketball teams in the Big East.

 

[acgclone]

While I'm at it, I would like our chances against all the other 1 seeds in the tourney. We just ran into a buzzsaw that is loaded with NBA talent, who happened to play their best game of the year, and it was practically an away game.
