I don't think the Big Ten is very good. We got 6 teams in on street cred. Purdue is supposed to win it all according to many. Typically, they seem to get beat.
Illinois seems to have some grit.
Wisconsin has a system but isn't very good.
Nebraska is happy to be in.
Michigan State has Izzo's tradition but they have been very disappointing all year.
Northwestern is happy to be in as well.
I voted for 0 ... hard to see many more than one or two...Purdue and Illinois.
They say the Big Ten is down every year. In FB and BB.
It's just that the exact same BB teams are able to dominate every year in the other conferences...so they always get the #1 & #2 seeds and the easy path. While the Big Ten has to fight through from lower seedings.
I'm not saying the Big Ten is the best. But the other conferences do get the same teams dominating every year.
