Safe to say it may have been extremely overrated, yet again?
2 of top 5…out. Indy getting slaughtered.
yikes.

Big ten
- Thread starter Mikemarc
- Start date
Overrated? No. 1 game do or die anything can happen. We earned all 9 spots.
2 of top 5??????
11 seed, 12 seed, 5 seed
Our 11 seed won
11 seed, 12 seed, 5 seed
Our 11 seed won
Number 5 seed UCONN lost and Marquette lost by about 30.
big East looking overrated too
In conference we were 4th seed. In conference Iowa was 5th seed, Bac. 2 of big tens top 5 seeds (in Conf Tourny) are out.
The best team in NJ might be St.Peters who are leading in OT against Kentucky.

i don’t know who cares…just pointing it out. 1 big ten team survives, 3 don’t. Not a great start
The big ten lost 1 game as a better seed and won 1 as a lower seed and lost one as the same seed. Big deal. The big ten standings and tiebreakers are completely irrelevant mental gymnastics
we will see once the first rd is over. I guess not a huge deal now…but not a great start.
Well no, the big ten standings and tiebreakers will be irrelevant no matter what happens in the first round
LMAO.. B1G did not deserve 9 spots.
4 teams played so far and only 1 advances after Round 1. Yeah we earned it.
You think that because we were the fourth seed we are automatically the fourth best team in the big ten? Ok
i think it poses the question. Yes. I didn’t answer though..as I said a few posts we will see at end of first rd
SEC Blows.
Only conference worth anything is WCC. St Mary's and Gonzaga representing. Pepperdine should have gotten an at large bid.

I guarantee he will say something stupid like Michigan
I love that this part of the bracket will now have an oddity in the Sweet 16. St Peters, San Fran, or Murray State
Yes! Sarcasm eludes you.
All the hot takes that the Big Ten blows are ridiculous.
People need to stop and realize it is March Madness.
Indiana should get slaughtered. St. Mary's is better than them. A lot better.
The Big Ten loss a lot of their best players coming into this season.The regular season showed the parity among the teams with the number of upsets The NCAA Tournament has shown its all about match ups and the teams with the better guards usually win.The Rutgers game against Notre Dame were evenly matched.teams and might turn out as one of the best tournament games.
There’s a difference between being overrated and a conference that blows. Hope people are smart enough to understand This
Indiana vs Wyoming 67% W
Indiana vs Saint Mary's 45% L
Rutgers vs Notre Dame 39% L
Michigan vs Colorado St. 59% W
Iowa vs Richmond 84% L
Expected: 2.94-2.06
Actual 2-3
0-5 / 1%
1-4 / 7%
2-3 / 25%
3-2 / 37%
4-1 / 24%
5-0 / 6%
The second most likely outcome happened? Better panic about the strength of the conference.

(Yes I realize that 0-5 was not technically possible since Indiana needed to win the first game in order to play the second)
Not sure why conference tournament seeding matters once you hit the NCAA tournament.
Big Ten went 1-1 in play in as expected.
5 seed Iowa almost cancels out with 11 seed Michigan winning.
So the only negative right now is 12 seed losing to 5 St. Mary's. Ok...
7 seed Ohio State, 7 seed MSU, 4 seed Illinois, 3 seed Purdue, 3 seed Wisconsin still left.
Wayyyy too soon to call big ten overrated. If 4 of those five win, Big Ten is fine
If all of them want to lose and leave Michigan the only Big Ten team left, that's also fine by me

Big east is always overrated. Since the breakup, the conference should be called “Villanova and the 9 Dwarfs”.
Big 10 is overrated. It has good teams - not national title contending teams
Conference needs to recruit on a much higher level and bring in more athletic kids
Unfortunately the only coach doing the above in conference is Juwann Howard.
