I've noticed that over the years.
The "Dirty Jersey" parlay
Look. Buddy Boeheim just did a great Brad Davison impression!
Don't know how I missed this.
I mean, we are kind of splitting hairs about the specific seed (let's be nice ... some programs like Iowa have never had a #1 seed ), but my point was that every program that has had enough historical success to earn a very high seed has also had a flop as a high seed in the Tournament:Wisconsin
- 2007: Lost as a 2-seed in the Second Round to a 7-seed ... barely better.
Purdue
- 1990: Lost as a 2-seed in the Second Round to a 10-seed ... actually worse.
- 1996: Lost as a 1-seed in the Second Round.
Ohio State
- 2021: Lost as a 2-seed in the FIRST Round to a 15-seed ... definitely worse.
Michigan State
- 1995: Lost as a 3-seed in the FIRST Round to a 14-seed.
- 2016: Lost as a 2-seed in the FIRST Round to a 15-seed.
- 2018: Lost as a 3-seed in the Second Round to an 11-seed ... comparable?
Michigan
- 1985: Lost as a 1-seed in the Second Round to an 8-seed.
- 1986: Lost as a 2-seed in the Second Round to a 7-seed.
- 1990: Lost as a 3-seed in the Second Round to an 11-seed ... about the same.
Indiana
- 1986: Lost as a 3-seed in the FIRST Round to a 14-seed.
Iowa
- 2006: Lost as a 3-seed in the FIRST Round to a 14-seed ... worse.
My only point being that even though our flop last year was pretty bad (still stings...), a lot of our "good" programs have shit the bed at least once, haha. Let's just all agree to not do it again this year! The league could use a reputation boost.
If you make the tourney enough you'll have a flop. Nature of the tourney. As far as league reputation, I couldn't care less. I hope all you mother ****ers lose in the 1st round.Don't know how I missed this.

Yeah, this is why not having one in 2020 (Underwood's first year he had us back as a top 20 team) really sucked for us ... these things tend to even out over the years, and it's just as likely we are a 4-seed making a run to the Sweet Sixteen/Elite Eight with the right matchups in 2020 as we were to be a seemingly dominant 1-seed who gets punked in the Second Round in 2021. Nature of March Madness.If you make the tourney enough you'll have a flop. Nature of the tourney. As far as league reputation, I couldn't care less. I hope all you mother ****ers lose in the 1st round.
Also, while I was looking this stuff up it really struck me how feast-or-famine Ohio State basketball is. It has programs like Illinois/Purdue/Maryland beat on National Championships and Final Fours but lags way behind them in winning percentage or NCAA Tournament appearances. Like, these stretches are so ridiculous, lol:
1960 to 1962: 3 NCAA Tournaments, 1 National Championship, 3 NC Game appearances/Final Fours, 3 Big Ten championships
1963 to 1979: 2 NCAA Tournament appearances (with a random Final Four in 1968 and Elite Eight in 1971), 4 losing seasons, only won 20 games twice
1990 to 1992: 3 NCAA Tournaments (2 #1 seeds), 1 Elite Eight, 2 Sweet Sixteens, 2 Big Ten championships
1993 to 1998: 0 NCAA Tournaments, 5 losing seasons
1999 to 2002 (all vacated, lol): 4 NCAA Tournaments, 1 Final Four, 2 Big Ten championships, 1 BTT championship
2003 to 2005: 0 NCAA Tournaments (on probation, I think?), 1 losing season
Then came post-probation Matta, who largely had them as consistently good and sometimes elite (2007, 2012), despite a couple of off years.

Just got back from a week in Disney. Skipped over ~70 pages, but saw that the homophobe doxxer is now gone (until he inevitably comes back under another name). Disney is a shthole and I hated almost every moment of the vacay (Rise of the Resistance and Safari at Animal Kingdom were only high points), but at least that fcker is gone for awhile.
Hey, if talking about "good programs" MD should be on this list 😎Don't know how I missed this.

I actually didn’t find a great parallel for Maryland! So congrats on taking care of business in March, lol.
Best I can think of is 97, Terps lost as a five seed vs 12 seeded Charleston..
Illinois coach Brad Underwood apologizes for Illini fans’ over-the-line taunting of an Iowa player
As Illinois prepared for its Big Ten Tournament opener, coach Brad Underwood on Wednesday addressed allegations of inappropriate taunts by Illini fans aimed at Iowa player Kris Murray. Murray’s father, Kenyon Murray, tweeted after Sunday’s game at the State Farm Center in Champaign that he left...

We're gonna fckn lose to Nebraska and get bounced down to a 7 or 8 seed.
Ban bet with @boiler1987 on Jaden Ivey 1st team all B1G
Good chance we lose Race. Not sold on TJD...
I don't tihnk WOody's offensive plans include a "BIG"----or the traditional big...COuld be wrong. Seems to me he wants to spread the floor, athletes/shooters/slashers, etc, etc...I ain't mad at that.
Portal has changed everything....
4 of of our Top 5? Possibly. But I like XJ returning....TJD IMO is 70/30 on a return. If we can keep Geronimo and Bates, thats a huge plus. Kopp/Stewart are replaceable parts----easily. I'll take JHS/Gunn over those two----even as frosh.
Schedule wasn't a cake walk-----Purdue(2), Illinois, OSU(2), Wisky(2), Iowa, Rutgers....6 games vs Top 4 conference teams----8 vs Top 6. In other words, The B10....OOC was bad.
This team was good enough to win a lot more than 18 games/9 conference games.....Woody cannot finish for them...
Yes- 430 pages. Thanks again for beating Wisconsin!
I'll be honest nobody knows. And if anyone mentions peegs I'll tell you to go fvck off. Him and his fat fvck friend don't know a damn thing.
Pretty much this.....Race may decide to come back. I hope like hell he does----IMO, his ceiling is MUCH higher than TJD. I'd be very happy to see this next year:
XJ/JHS
Gunn/Bates
Geronimo/JHS
Race
TJD
Sarcasm is hard to project in a post…lol….seriously though these bigten refs are inconsistent AF….
Nebraska was up 15 when I went out for Popeye's drive through. Iowa's going to frickin lose to Northwestern tomorrow and drop to a 7/8 seed.
Wait until you get the Big East refs. I bet the B1G record in the NCAAT with BE refs is under .400. Those guys blow the whistle like they are auditioning for the Symphony. Never stops. And they have no idea how to ref big guys like Kofi, Hunter, TJD, Cliff, Kyle Young. None. They'll blow 2 quick ones on them so they don't have to ref them for long and look like fools.
I think it's a BE rule that both teams need to be in the Bonus by the 8 minute mark of any half. It's why Jay Wright always has players and teams that shoot 80% from the line.

On the flip side, it looks like the B10 refs have been told to emphasis swallowing their whistles in the tournament.
