I'm just asking because prior to the tournament, you'd have thought there was a huge conspiracy against their beloved Big 10...
* How does Wisconsin draw a 3 seed?
* How does Purdue only get a 6?
* Indiana an 8???
* Only 4 teams get in? How?
OOPS! More specifically, Badger Fan sure was up in arms. Where are you all now? Let us hear from you!
I'm glad the Big 10 is done. That conference, in every sport, is perennially overrated and under-manned. How about trying to recruit some athletes instead of slow and stodgy locals. How many times can they be embarrassed in the national spotlight before they start keeping up with the times?
Get with it Big 10.

Why? The Big 12 has two teams in the Elite 8. No other conference does. The Big Ten did about as well as expected and got the teams and seeds in they deserved. By playing the "system" with slow white stiffs, Bo Ryan has never beaten a better seed in the tournament. He beat a 9 seed once, otherwise all his tournament victories have come against double-digit seeds. Win games in the pitiful Big Ten, get a good seed, beat double digit seeds, lose against quality teams, go out and get some more terribly unathletic players to place those graduating.

So you are glad the big ten is done? What could possibly cause a band-wagoneer such as yourself to hate the big ten? Could it be that the Big tens 1st and 4th teams beat your Texas Longhorns(MSU really spanked you posers), or could it be that the Tigers beat the yankees in the post season recently. I mean seriously, a yankees fan, and a long horn fan? Are you dating Roger Clemens son? The Big twelve is a comedy of overrated football, and ugly basketball, I guess we as the big ten will just have to settle for having tons of pro-players in the big leagues to keep us warm at night during all of those "National Spotlight embarrassments."
P.S. Twice in two years MSU has played Texas in B-Ball, and they (MSU)won both games. When was the last time Texas beat a big ten team? Get with it Big 12. Or should I say Kansas, and Texas get with it, because thats all you have got.

1 team getting to the elite eight from the big east with 8 teams is just as bad as no teams from the big ten in the elite eight with 4 teams in.
If Wisconsin and Mich St. made it to the final four and lost people would still say the big ten sucks. No point in listening to these people who will hate no matter what the circumstances are.

And I didn't even mention that Indiana has more National Basketball Championships then the Big 12 put together(OK st.-2, Kansas-2, Indiana-5) Michigan State also has 2 titles, Ohio state has 1 and so does Michigan. By the way Oklahoma State won their's in 45', and 46', kansas won theirs in the 40's, and in 1988. The big ten has had three titles since then, and over 10 big ten teams have played in the championship game, Also The big ten is the only conference to have 2 teams in the final four, in the last ten years, and they have done it three times. So enjoy bad mouthing are "slow white asses" because this might be your only chance to say we are down for another ten years.

I picked Texas to win it all... but now I don't really want them to.
Here's to hoping they get slaughtered to shut morons like you up.
The Badgers win that game 10/10 times if the game is officiated the way NCAA Basketball games usually are.
Big Tens games are tough and there is a lot of pushing and shoving... but what Davidson did is downright laughable.
It's like when a kid has to hack a bigger kid to keep him from scoring. Eventually the big kid just walks away because he's tired of the ridiculousness of it all. We're talking about a nice big kid too. We all know what a lot of losers would do in that situation... punch the little kid in the face.
But that's not right or fair.
"Whatever it takes, the refs won't mind, that's my motto! My dad was in the NBA!" -Stephen Curry
And why is it wrong to argue about officiating anyway? It was so blatantly obvious what happened.
Anyone remember Portland against L.A. in the playoffs a while back (you know what I'm talking about if you saw it)? The refs won that game as well. *For the layperson who doesn't watch the NBA... you are lucky. That was the last time I actually cared about that crappy league. Looks like the NCAA is taking the same path.

is that Really your response ETMortgage? So now "you" are a Texas and a Kansas fan? funny the Big 12 looks more and more like the Great 1 (kansas) and the 11 other chumps.
P.S. So how long until you become a Red Sox fan?, i mean now that they are good and the Yanks stink, you will be switching, I just want to know when.

Encyclopedia you might want to go check your encyclopedia.....as far as you saying the big ten is the only conference to put two teams in the final four in the last ten years couldnt be farther from wrong. The sec did it 2006 with florida and lsu, in 2004 the acc did it with georgia tech and duke, in the 2003 the big 12 did it with texas and kansas, and again in 2002 with oklahoma and kansas and that is just the last 5 years while the big 10 has only done it once in 2005 and that was the last time they even had a team in the final four.
