Great, now the Big Ten honks are coming out. It was a double-edged sword in this game...

After we got bad mouthed all year for playing defense we deserve this.

Probably the only thing me and illiniguy will agree on all year. But yes we do.

Im sorry but the "Big Ten honks" deserve to come out and talk some [expletive]. The Big 10 has been killed by every major sports journalist/tv commentator, and fans of all other major conference. Everybody all year wanted to kiss the Big Easts ass, and yet the Big Ten Champ manhandled the Big East Champ in Louisville, and took it too UConn. Plain and Simple.

 

BIG EAST KILLERS! :D

We both agree Ryan Braun's a tool.

Shocker. Hansbrough wins another award.

I love seeing three guys in a suit and a guy in a basketball uniform sitting awkwardly around each other.

Shocker. Hansbrough wins another award.

He definately hasn't had a career worthy of any awards.

Well, I'm convinced. The Big 10 was better!

And we agree too!

 

BIG TEN!!!!! Big Ten fans definitely deserve this. We've been crapped on this year, and it was completely undeserved.

I don't think we were better, but we were good enough that everyone didn't need to take popshots at us all year long.

That's pretty much were I stand (I think most agree). The Big Ten was a solid, deep conference this year that didn't deserve to be treated like the SEC (which really got off easy relatively).

well people are dumb about the big 10 and don't realize that the teams DO have offensive ability, but a lot of them just play a slow style. i find it boring but that doesn't mean that big ten teams can't play with teams who do score.

 

but let's be honest, this is one big 10 team that is playing really well and is head and shoulders above the rest of the league. this isn't really vindication for the big 10 - no other team in the conference had a decent chance to get past the sweet 16. overall i think it's a lot more impressive to have 4 teams make the elite 8 and 2 in the final 4 than it is to have 1 team make the finals.

It only 'got off easy' because there really wasn't any debate. SEC fans agreed that their conference wasn't very good so unlike the Big Ten the debate wasn't a holy war.

It was crap. You don't have to score 90 points a game to have a good basketball game. You can play a great game, win, and score in the 50s. It happens.

Michigan State has one conference title the last, I think, 8 years. They are not head and shoulders above everyone else.

and since we had a good conference we took issue with it, why is this so hard for you to understand?

[Andy]

Michigan State and Purdue played a total of one game that they won scoring under 60. It can happen, but it doesn't happen often.

The SEC coaches' response to only three teams from their conference getting bids certainly was not a mirror image of the opinions of their fans.

I'm explaining why the SEC wasn't talked about for its weaknesses. And it was because that wasn't a point anyone was debating, so it wasn't brought up as much. Why so hard for YOU to understand?

We won a few and were under that. We also finished in between those two teams.

So why were we debating how weak the Big Ten was when we had the second best conference rpi all year? Oh, I know because we had the audacity to start our own network. That's right.

And when Notre Dame football got its own network deal, we started getting the same treatment. You act like I have no idea what it's like to be treated irrationally by ESPN and company.
