The Big 10 can't prepare you for March

[Original_Irish]

I don't care what you did in OOC. You can't go three full months of playing teams in the Big 10 and just assume that you will be prepared for the level of play that comes in March. It's a completely different beast than what you are seeing game in and game out in that conference. All of these other teams are battle tested.

We absolutely deserved to be laughed at for how much shit we talked.

As an MSU fan, I’m glad we were perceived as a great conference though. It kept our tournament streak alive.

Lol

I don’t like to read too much into tourney results typically, because these are one off situations. But the big ten’s performance has been exceptionally bad.

 

[Crappy Davenpot]

Always fun when teams not familiar with each other have to play.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Just seems like the B 10 teams lack quickness. It's never an issue during league play because it's universal.

 

[hawkit3113]

We still have alot of teams left

 

[ConvenientParking]

Big Ten teams scheduled way more games against NCAA tourney teams than other conferences this weekend.

Schedule more Bible Schools cause they’re kicking your ass.

It sure beats the fvck out of that shit bag conference Gonzaga plays in. Lololololol

Doing pretty well against for-profits at least

Ok, I’ll bite: Which conferences do prepare their teams for March?

Don’t F with the Big Guy.👆

I honestly don't think it's about conference, it's about having versatile rosters. The guards I see don't have that extra quickness gear to push a pace or cause issues on the defensive end. The rosters have physical strong guys up and down the roster but that can be a detriment when playing teams like North Texas that spread the floor with quicks.

We tried to tell them. But they were adamant that less athleticism = more dominance.

 

[thebasketballreasons]

Actually according to pre-season AP poll, Iowa(5) and Wisconsin(7) are the best teams from Big 10, we will see how they will do next.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

I guess it is about conference, because since the teams are mirror image in so many ways, teams don't see other teams that have quicks. It's bully ball or shooters, or a combo of both. Who are the quick guards in this league? What teams spread the floor with multi quick/handles types undersized?

 

[ConvenientParking]

The quick guards in the league just got beat by Loyola because they forgot how to defend a high post pick and roll

Looks like their #2’s about to get taken behind the woodshed.

 

[Original_Irish]

Now Wisconsin getting worked. The Big 10 team that got in because it had good losses to every Big 10 team.

None. While it’s cute the SEC got more teams in this year none of them will do shit besides the usual powers of Kentucky (not this year) and Florida.

B12 is a bunch of decent teams besides one good one in Kansas.

PAC? Congrats you won first round games. Still an irrelevant conference in both football and basketball.

ACC is all Duke and UNC, the rest of those teams are garbage

 

[WeAreDePaul]

Fans of Iowa and Michigan gotta be clenching their butt cheeks all day.

 

[jhmossy]

We lose a game in the first round after winning the natty and we get this kind of crap. B1G hasn't won a title in 21 years and had multiple teams losing in the first round this year and nothing

Still early, we will see how this goes. This Baylor team is very very good, but then again its Scott Drew so we never know when he will let his team down again.

Think Florida is after watching Oral Roberts, Abilene Christian, and Loyola destroy favorites.

Baylor’s white dude is better and more athletic than all of Wisconsin’s white dudes

Not very consistent with your logic. If we’re talking historically, the ACC is a lot more than those two. And if we’re talking recent history, the B1G is Izzo and a bunch of decent programs.

3 of the last 5 national champions are from the ACC. The other two are Villanova. You're either trolling or the dumbest ****ing person on this board.

you get that kind of crap because you play boring ass basketball. You were boring in your national championship run too

A lot of B1G teams play boring ass basketball too. Yet none of them have a natty since 2000.

Boring don’t matter when you take the Trophy.

It appears that your beef is with Deadspin, not the B1G.

The B1G isn't relevant enough for me to have beef with

The B1G is a bunch of decent-good programs your 100% right. I’m saying no conference is better than the other at getting teams ready for March

I guess you must find me relevant since you're keeping track of my posts then

And yet you guys will always be the 1 seed who lost to a 16 seed, nobody gives a shit about your natty after that
