We send 9 teams into the tourney this year and have lost all six attempts to reach the sweet 16... With the final 8 games playing today we have three more attempts to carry the BIG's flag, by winning all three... That would end up close to 1/4 of the final field heading into next Thursday's action...
The fact of the matter is I would not be surprised if all three would go down like the first six!!! I think we play way too many games against each other, too cozy and not any teams like Syracuse, with their hated zone, or like Loyola of Chi and their half court man to man, leading the nation in points allowed at 55 per contest...
Not that we need to play less BIG games against each other but it wouldn't hurt to have four more non conference games during the BIG season like a combo of big 8 and SEC games to afford us a more divers schedule for a change...
For the BIG to have zero National titles since 2000 with Michigan State, is a real embarrassment, to say the least... Somethings needs to change... Any other Ideas???
