Big 10 Over Hyped

[McLovin]

Not picking (only) on you specifically, but this statement is all bluster when it comes to college basketball. Every year, the best team is far more likely to not win the tournament than it is to win it. So, when it comes to objectively evaluating the past performance of a team or conference, a championship should only be counted as marginally better than a finals appearance, which is only marginally better than a Final 4 appearance, etc.

That said, as a UConn fan, I totally agree with you. Anyone with fewer than 4 championships is a total loser!

Even the teams with more than 4 championships are total losers too!

rather than proving the big10 is overrated because its second and third best teams can lose to garbage MSU in back to back games, this will be ignorantly spun into MSU being a dark horse and the BIG10 getting TWELVE teams into the tourney

Yup exactly, I’m afraid of this too. There just aren’t enough OOC games this year to accurately measure how good teams really are. Every analyst has a raging h**d on for the B10 when in reality we aren’t even sure how good Michigan and OSU are vs the field.

this is an interesting link. they have us ranked #19 on the road warrior list. now, that's a resume builder. my 'ranking methodology' has three data inputs: overall record, sos, and road record. also, an optional essay input for 'bbut, bbut' if there is an hugely significant factor not accurately reflected in those 3 categories, only to be used rarely as once u start the 'bbut bbut'
thing, it can get ridiculously out of hand.

I suspect they will have 2 week 2 teams left by 16. With occasional viewing samples, I really don’t think Big10 teams play like the BE, ACC and B12. The SEC is closer in style but much more quick and physical. Interestingly, the “standard” Hurley shoot late in the clock and hold scoring down would play right into the hands of a Michigan, Illinois or Iowa.
