When? Care to make a wager on that above statement? You'd have to make your date pay!

Hell no, cause it aint gonna happen!! I have X and Siena winning....thats it. I have MSU, Wisky, and OSU all advancing. I just think it would be funny if they all did lose after this thread was started. I listed those four because frankly I cant even see OSU being contested. The other 4 could all go either way, imo. Wiksy should roll, but Wofford is a tough team.

The Big Ten easily is better !!!!!

The guy on Mike and Mike this morning said Thad Matta and Bo Ryan aren't popular coaches? Are you kidding me?

Big Ten could easily get three to the Final Four this year.

To be honest though, isn't this just confirming what a lot of people have thought this year in that there are no teams that are truly great and can just smack down the little guys? Off the top of my head I can't think of a conference that had a really good day. The SEC lost Florida and Tennessee wasn't overly impressive. The BE is obvious. The Big 12 had Texas go out in a good game, but one that was indicative of Texas' season in that they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Everyone knows the Pac 10 blows ass. I'm not sure I can see any conference having a real great weekend but I'm excited to see how it plays out tomorrow.

My thoughts exactly. I picked a lot of upsets this year just because I knew there were no great teams. I picked Old Dominion, Washington, Murray State and N. Iowa yesterday and have Cornell and Sienna winning today. Just to let everyone know I only use one sheet.

And WVU beat OSU last year away and this year. So what does one game really prove?

Thanks-- by the way, I was right again with Cornell and so far Sienna is up on Purdue.

So I'd say you can't "usually" watch 1 or 2 big ten teams in the FF.

Ok, since 'usually' can be interpreted in different ways, how about 'more often than not', since that would be factually correct.

Cleveland Buck wrote: Well, only the ACC has more Final Four appearances (in the modern era), and almost all of those are by Duke or North Carolina, so I suppose it refers to everyone of the people "that don't respect the Big 10" or whatever the one guy said, that isn't a Duke or Carolina fan.

Cleveland Buck wrote: I'm talking about since the tournament went to 64 teams. The ACC has 22 Final Fours, 18 of them by Carolina or Duke. The others were by Georgia Tech and Maryland. The Big Ten has 17 Final Fours by 7 different teams (Michigan State, Ohio State, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota).
