Where's loukycub been? Went to the same dark corner that all the other "Big 10 sucks" people went to. In his defense, the Big 10 did suck. Michigan State is just a very good team. They would have been a top 4-5 finisher in the Big East (maybe a Villanova type season). It's not MSUs fault that the rest of the league sucked. Well that's just absurdly false. Haha, just as I expected, no matter what actually happened during the tourney, this trash would continue. In response to your previous post, saying people better enjoy getting their beatings on IU now because Tom Crean is rapidly fixing things up the sentence after saying Sampson and Davis set the program back, I don't know how else to take that. I certainly don't see how you can interpret it as saying Crean will get the team back to the level they were at under Davis/Sampson(minus the anarchy that went on off the court with Kelvin) What exactly happened in the tourney that convinced you that the Big 10 was awesome? Purdue playing 1 slot above their seed, same with MSU? Or was it Ohio State losing essentially a home game to Siena or Illinois losing to Western Kentucky? Maybe it was the stellar showing by Minnesota. Or are you going to play the "Michigan almost beat Oklahoma but the refs gave it to Blake Griffin" card? The Big 10 performed pretty much as expected. Penn State is putting on a good showing in the NIT, but Northwestern lost to mighty Tulsa in the first game. The Big East is good because they have a ton of teams, but those teams also performed, 5 in the Sweet 16 and 2 in the Final 4. The Big 12 had 3 in the Elite 8 which was pretty good for them. Most conferences performed exactly as they should have, not much better or worse, although the ACC can probably be considered "underachievers" after the Clemson loss and the beatdown Duke got from Villanova. The ACC sucked. The Big Ten performed at the same level as the Big East, in regards to seed expectations. http://yetanotherbasketblog.blogspot.com/2009/03/pase-expectations.html
