There's 5 of them in total - Duke, Memphis, Oral Roberts, Western Kentucky, and Davidson... That's not badcompany. And before you say it's just because the big 10 stinks, you'll be interested in knowing there's only 20 teams in total out of 340+ thathave won 9 or more of their last 10.. That kind of success in conference play ANYWHERE is impressive.
And Marquette? What exactly have they done that's so horrible? All their losses to top 25 (rpi) squads, with some good wins sprinkled in alongthe way... as I said, when they're on their game, they are dangerous.. I also believe both of these teams are very beatable when they come off their gameseven slightly.

Does Petey even realize how often the big ten is represented in the final four the past 10 years or so? For being the joke of a conference he paints it to be,it sure has seen a good amount of success the last decade.
edit: matter of fact, i just counted... last 10 years - big east has 4 final four teams, the little ten has had 9.

The difference between me and you is that I base things on actual play...not what a team's record is against the top 50 rpi. You're out of your mind ifyou think those young hicks at Purdue are making a deep tourney run.
The Big ten was always a great confernce obviously. Always did well in the tourney....thus why I call it the Little 10 now. It's just not like it used tobe. Wisconsin, Purdue, Indy, Mich St are all about at the same level. All can make the Sweet 16 most def and that's about it.
Go write a blog on you're cheating idol Kelvin Sampson.....

But Purdue is getting it done on the court, and playing really well..
I don't think they will make a serious run, but who knows...
they certainly are good enough to make it out of the first weekend, then from there, anything can happen

Louisville is the best team in the BIG EAST!
Like I said healthy they have a chance to go far...
I feel that the game vs Syracuse will be big for both teams
Lets go LOUISVILLE!

I'm comin around on them now. James, albeit still with a bad FG%, is at least playing smarter. McNeal and Matthews added to him, makes a dangerous team.
If they don't matchup with a physical team, they could win a few
Yea if they play a big team with someone inside who can work. Its over

I hate Purdue as much as anybody - they are the most annoying team to watch because they shouldn't be as good as they are.. i don't know, maybe ihate my own race or something but all those white guys are playing way over their heads.
But I've come around on them - they play really tough defense and take care of the ball on offense, which is a winning formula ANYWHERE.
I will admit the big 10 is having a down year overall - there's no powerhouse team, but there are a few with potential to go places this year.. andpeople have been saying that about the big 10 the last 5 years, that it's down and isn't like it used to be... But like i said, 9 final four teams inthe last 10 years.. can't be too down now can it?

All you have to do to beat us is knock down your shots. Our defense is too conservative for my liking. We never try to force turnovers, and just rely onplaying in your face defense trying to not give up too many open shots. If you knock down shots like OK State did yesterday, it's a wrap for us. Idon't think our offense is good enough to keep up with a team that will knock down their shots, which is gonna be a problem come tournament time.
