Winning the BIG = Winning the AFC South

UConn putting a hurting on the top 2 BIG Ten teams in the NCAA Tournament. BIG is just not very good anymore

B1G has been weak the past several years.

B1G has been weak the past several years.

Past several? We're 0-8 now in the NC since Sparty's win in 2000.

Only 3 NCs in the past 40 years.

Other major conferences for comparison in that time:
Big East: 12 (including Louisville's removed NC)
ACC: 11
SEC: 6
Big 8 / 12: 4
Only the Pac 10/12 has worse futility with 2.

Big West and the defunct Metro Conference each had 1 during that time.

I don't know if it's weakness or generally antiquated play style that always ends up getting exposed sooner or later in the tournament. Either way, something's gotta give.

I think it’s style of play. Slow guards and throw the ball into the post constantly. Purdue made the final game only because they had Frankenstein

To be fair, Uconn would put a hurt on Duke, Houston, UNC- Anybody they would have played this week. I agree about the B1G.
