Seems to be alotta hate here. Hopefully some year we’ll have a team good enough to qualify and have somebody to pull for instead of just pulling against teams. 🤞

At least we don’t call them Cowgirls like you call a certain team from Dallas.

So what's your theory? You get 9 teams in. Eight wins, seven losses, 1 team still on the floor (losing) and one out of 9 to the second weekend.

Dismal, ridiculous and brutal.
My theory would be that the Big Ten hasn't performed nearly as badly as you seem to think it has. There were no great teams in the conference this season, just a lot of good teams.

Based on Kenpom's numbers, here were the chances of every team still being alive heading out of this weekend...

Iowa - 60.4%
Purdue - 50.5%
Wisconsin - 34.8%
Illinois - 28.2%
Michigan State - 17.2%
Ohio St - 16.9%
Michigan - 16.0%
Indiana - 7.0%
Rutgers - 3.8%

This means we should expect to have about 2.348 teams left heading into next weekend. Should Purdue win this one, we'd be hitting a pretty likely result.

I have a real chance to win my pool. My bracket is currently ranked 8th, but all of my final 4 teams are still intact and 5/8 Elite 8 teams are still in play. 🤞🤞

Even if PSU were a perennial tournament team, most of us would wish the worst for the rest of the b1g. PSU success and f*ck the b1g are not mutually exclusive.
I swore the one ref yesterday in the Nova game was John Oneill!! He certainly refereed like O'Neill!!
