I don't think tORU will hang on to win, but they are giving Ohio State a run for its money.

Right now Oral Roberts looks like Norfork St against Missouri in Omaha quite a few years back..

Was at that game and had a great time pulling for Norfork St and had great seasons down in the floor under the basketball..

Summit League champions can't even beat the Big Ten runner-up in regulation.

And to think I was questioning the BIG's dominance.

I’m simply saying, as I have all year, that it’s overrated, and didn’t deserve to be labeled the best conf ever.

I am also gloating. Sue me.
Its all good man... some people crave the attention....some dont I still think they are stupid posts and I will continue to say that when I see it

One thing I have noticed through out the years is the Big 10 is so physical during the season that when they get in the NCAA the officials call a lot of tricky tack fouls that would not be called in a Big 10 game...

They’re also the most consistently over rated conf in the country and when bad teams play bad teams for 2.5 months it’s hard to tell they’re bad

Same as football, where the B1G is touted year in and out and struggles to go .500 in bowls, almost never winning big ones

The B1G consistently leads the country in one thing and one thing only- being blowhards

It’s hard not to notice this when Big Ten fans have repeated it on a loop since the days when the ball had to be lifted out of the peach basket.

Purdue went scoreless for the first 4 1/2 minutes of overtime because in the Big Ten.... something, something... about the regular season being so brutal.

Someone please help me out with a talking point!

Sadly in that Purdue loss, another team earned their first NCAA tournament win. So the list of teams with zero NCAA tournament victories is reduced by 1

I enjoyed watching Big Ten teams get bounced out of the tournament for decades before Nebraska ever joined. Old habits die hard, especially when the most full-of-itself conference on the planet hasn't taken home a title since Bill Clinton was president.

I hate all the B1G schools and the B1G leadership

Trash conference, def would not recommend unless money is more important to you than titles

Yeah it got really annoying hearing that all year. The Big 10 was decent this year for the first time in awhile but to promote it as the best ever was just stupid. I think Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan will still make it deep into the tourney, but I had Purdue and Ohio State out early. Just not this early lol.

You weren’t so negative toward the B1G except for Wisconsin what happened did you spend the night over at Top Guns that he brained washed you?

Too bad Levers is out for Michigan which would have been the 3 best teams in the Big 10 doing the talking..

I’ve resigned myself to the fact that when Big Ten teams play each other, one of them has to win.

If I could change this, I would.

Well we won’t have to hear about how the ACC is better than the Big 10 for the rest of the year..

After day 1, I'm tied for last place in the HOL bracket.

Can only go up from here.

I am right there with you. I always hated the **** 10 fans as they were always the "well if you played us we would stomp you" people. They would say that as they know it could not be proven any time soon. That was in basketball and football. I lost a ton of respect for Dr. Tome when he put money before everything else. He must of learned his lesson after that and isnt all about the money anymore.
