glad its not virginia... so boring to watch them

Well, all 4 teams were and will still be good defensive teams.
Illinois will prob. have bad off. chemistry to start the year, given the transfers, and the main ball handlers will prob be a pair of freshmen going up against tyger campbell
Sooo hope for the best.

A 30 game Big 10 schedule can’t come soon enough for season ticket holders. That home schedule is awful.

"Jim Boeheim says success measured by NCAA tourney, takes shot at Big Ten"
Of course many here think winning the B1G Regular Season is the only thing that really matters.

Consistent NCAA Tournament seed is what really matters.

Well, he is correct the BT does suck in the tourney and has for decades now. Simply lacks the athletes.
Illinois is going in the right direction. I think getting abused by Houston was a wakeup call to staff. Have to have more kids that can make plays.
But Boeheim is a fcking scumbag enabler convicted cheater. Also a dork mthrfcker who married a bimbo 22 years younger than him only because he is rich.
-
He's 100% correct. Big Ten is not a national powerhouse as they haven't won in 22+ years. We all know the committee over selects big ten teams into the tourney. And we all know the outcome.
I mean if you still pick a big ten team to win a bracket pool you won't win the pool. I pick UNC every year and every few years I win a pool.
-
Yeah, the multiple Final Fours by Michigan, Michigan St., Ohio St., and possibly Wisconsin during that time, and the 37-2 Illinois season seem to indicate some degree of success. True, the last couple of years have not been great, and you can always count on Purdue to choke.
But the "Big Ten no win title = SUCK" is something straight from the ESPN playbook. Which means it's illogical crap.

Especially when there is a controversy that can be milked.

Half the B1G has played in the title game in the past 20 years. To quote tempo, that’s failing at a high level.

Key word appears to be "failing"....
