Didn't the Big East get 3 #1 seeds in 09 though??
The Big 10 is the premier basketball conference in the country

At least as many times as it takes for Iowa to win a national championship......
Yes....Pitt, Louisville and UConn. One made the FF---UConn. Overall the BE had two FF teams---Nova being the other as a 3 seed. MSU, a 2 seed, beat two, # 1 seeds, both from the BE: Louisville in the Elite 8. UConn in the FF.
Big East had.7 NCAA bids----Three #1 seeds...Two #3 seeds...Two #6 seeds.
Four of those 7 advanced to the ELite 8----UL, Nova, Uconn and Pitt.
It's not even very close either.
If I were to guess right now it will likely fall to a similar fate. Top to bottom it’s definitely the best conference this year, but I don’t know if their 20 year non-title streak ends.
The SEC beat the Big 12 with one kentucky tied behind it's back.
Same old, same old...BFD, consistently "the" or "a" top conference but how many championships does the Big Ten have in the past 30 years?
Also a good trivia question to the casual college bball fan- name the last big ten team to win a natty?
Trick question- Maryland!!
A few will reach the elite 8 by playing other Big 10 teams. Conference honks everywhere will high five and tell the story for years.
Not sure what this ever has to do with anything....The best team doesn't always come from the best conference....Nor does the best conference always produce the best team.
But the best conference puts more teams in the tournament more often and should have better odds of producing a champion. It means the conference is consistently overrated if the best it can do over 30 years is produce only one national champion. Even the PAC-12, which is consistently 4th - 6th has more than one championship in that time period.
Without looking it up, I believe the last twenty years, Big Ten has the same amount of nattys with Big 12 & Pac-12...
Judging how strong a conference is on a single elimination tournament that doesn’t have an equal number of representation is one of the most potato ass things some of you rehtards say.
Odds ? In a one, bad night,and you are done tournament---Odds are meaningless.
In 2018,the ACC placed 9 teams in the tourney...Considered by many the best conference that year---And probably was...Then , well, #1 seed UVA lost by 20--in the 1st round. MOF, not a single 1 seed advanced to the SW 16...
Big 10 had 4 teams get bids.....2 advanced to the SW 16. One to the FF/NCG--Michigan.
Villanova was a freak, monster. Destroyed everyone. Did not have a game decided by 10+ points. Beat KU like a drum in the FF----And Michigan in the title game. Some feel that team was one of the best over the past 20+ years----They have one hell of an argument.
So, with that being said---Do you feel the BE was the best conference in 2018?
Odds mean shit in the NCAAT.
Yeah and if y'all pick on little UK anymore, someone might start getting pissed. We all look at Uk as our younger sibling that mom made us bring with us.
Its exponentially stupid....Take 2012 for instance...UK was a juggernaut. Best team in CBB. And did what was expected---Won the title.
So the SEC was the best conference? Four bid league that year: UK was a 1 seed. After that?
Vandy(5 seed)---Lost in 2nd round to 4 seed Wisconsin..
Florida(7 seed)--Lost in E8 to 4 seed Louisville
Alabama(9seed)---Lost in 1st round to 8 seed Creighton.
SEC best conference, right? Produced title winner....
Yea I was going to use the possibility of Gonzaga winning the NC. Are we going to crown WCC as the best conference? Absolute potato argumentIts exponentially stupid....Take 2012 for instance...UK was a juggernaut. Best team in CBB. And did what was expected---Won the title.

So the Big Ten is an elite conference because it has more good teams top to bottom more often but no excellent / top teams capable of winning a national championship...sounds more like mediocre. Just because a team wins the championship doesn't make the conference the best but the best conference, consistently top 2, should be more than capable of winning a championship more than once over 30 years.Its exponentially stupid....Take 2012 for instance...UK was a juggernaut. Best team in CBB. And did what was expected---Won the title.

Sure there fella----This season is taking its toll on you guys---I get that. So we can chalk this up to anxiety.
But a quick question-----
If Gonzaga wins the natty---Does that make the WCC, the best conference?
Since 2000, the Big 10 has placed 6 different teams in the title game: MSU,OSU, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan and Illinois. Unfortunate that those teams ran into some really, really great teams..
Illinois in 2005 was as good of a team that CBB has seen...Really good. Only thing, 2005 UNC was even better.
OSU in 2007....35-4. Conley and Oden. But, well they ran into a Florida team that rreturned all 5 dudes off their 2006 title team...
MSU in 2009---31-6. Very good. National title good. But, well, there was one problem: North Carolina. Another Williams monster..
Wisky in 2015---Possibly the most efficient offensive team ever...And just as good defensively. 36-4. Only team to beat UK...But, well, there was Duke. This game is the ONLY game listed where I felt the B10 might have had the best team...But Duke was nasty , good.
Michigan in 2018---Very good. But, well,there was that Villanova team---again.
Do some research man...Just don't throw shit at the wall----trying to act as if you know something. You don't know a third of what you think you do. The Big 10 overthe years has had some really, really fantastic teams, more than capable of winning the title...
SEC in that span has had 2 teams play in the title game: UK and Florida. Which is no surprise. Those two have longed carried the SEC.
It'd be nice to see another SEC team step up. Auburn and LSU would probably have it vacated, and UT only cares about playing UK.
Whats crazy is this....
Tenn has been to ONE Elite 8: 2010. Only 8, SW 16 teams.
Auburn has 2 ELite 8's: 1986, 2019. A mere 5, SW 16's.
Tenn and Auburn have a combined 3, ELite 8's---And Bruce Pearl is responsible for 2 of them. Pearl is also responsible for AU's only FF..
LSU has the talent---has had it. Just shitty coaches.
I thought White was gonna return Florida to the days of Bily ball....Nope.
Oats will get Bama rolling---Only problem, he'll leave eventually...Maybe Kentucky.
"The Big 10 over the years has had some really, really fantastic teams, more than capable of winning the title..." - but they didn't! Sure, but moral victories, man. Who cares. Championships matter and are an indicator of the overall strength of a conference - we'll see if Gonzaga wins this year to defeat that notion but history says they're not tested often enough after OOC to keep the edge for six games. What will be their excuse - Baylor? Or some other team that got hot like UConn in 2014? The problem is Big Ten teams are never the best, for whatever reason. Someone should be able to break through more than once every 30 years. Wisconsin gets through UK who was supposed to be the greatest ever and then loses to Duke, who was good but not UK great...Enjoy the moral victory, if that is what fans want to hang their hats on. Sound like the Kansas fan who proposed earlier this season about hanging a banner being "the best team" last season...lol.
Yeah, sure-----Championships indicate how good a TEAM is..---It has zero bearing on how good the conference is...
Moral victory? Huh? I'm just answering your stupid ass ,uneducated responses...I don't give **** what anyone outside of Indiana does, from the B10.
Your take on the best conference being defined by titles, is fuking stupid. Kentucky won the title in 2012----PLayed in a 4 bid league. None of the other 3 teams were higher than a 5 seed. Do you think the SEC was the best conference in 2012? Something tells me, you do.
In 2018, the ACC got 9 teams in....SEC got 8...Big 12 got 7....Big East got 6. Nova won the title----And was responsible for 6 of the cofnerences 9 NCAAT wins...No one besides Nova made it past the 2nd round. ACC had 4 teams advance to the SW 16.. Two to the ELite 8...Big 12 got 4 teams to the SW 16....3 to the ELite 8---One to the FF.
So I guess since Nova won the title, that made the BE the best? Even though 5 of the 6 teams were gone by the 1st weekend?
Just a stupid ass argument..
Do all of you UK fans agree that the 2015 Duke team was nasty good?
We are superior to you.
On your knees, bitches

Is it wrong that anytime I hear someone talking about who's conference is better than who's I default to an assumption that the person is 14 years old?
