So big ten got like 10 teams in and all but one out already

[thetrinity]

Every fuckin year with these guys. Luckily Izzo can coach or they would have zero

That’s a bit of an exaggeration on the number of teams, but I get your point.

 

[thetrinity]

How many did they get? I thought it was 9 actually and 10 if Rutgers got in

They did get 8 actually I thought it was 6-7 just at glance.

 

[JDS]

So much closer than I thought. I’ll take back my exaggeration comment in-fact.

 

[thetrinity]

Oh ok. I still think that was the most sec may have got 8 as well

Look at it this way. 12 and lower is basically in because they won their conference tournament. So that’s 22 with 2 play in. 11 and up are real teams, so 46 with playin games. You had 8/46 and only 1/16 lmao. A lot of these teams weren’t competitive even in the losses, then of course Purdue

Total epic fail year after year by this conference. You bring up a good point of topic. Do you see this continuing on for the foreseeable future and why do you think this conference has been struggling in the big dance recently ?

I said going in fade them and the mountain west. I think a lot of this is a crapshoot but these 2 conferences always have a hard time. The mountain west has found a way to crack the code so to speak and the big ten I just think doesn’t have very athletic teams and they are allowed to kill each other during the conference, a combination of those 2 things. Maybe their teams are more worn down than teams in other conferences by the tournament.

Thanks for sharing your point of view on that.

The Big Ten is a conference that beats up on each other every year. It allows them to get more teams in because I guess they get more Quad 1 and Quad 2 wins that way. Also, I think they don't do well in the tourney because for the most part the teams in the Big Ten are not that athletic and can't score that well compared to other power 5 conferences. Izzo saves that conference every year but even he hasn't won a National Title since 2000.
