It's been a long drought. Will this be the year that the Big Ten breaks its NCAA title drought?
 


...Oddly,I was going to say the opposite. Based on random probability we have a 7/64 chance. Obviously it is better than that with seeding and talent. That said, I think Indiana has a good path to the title game.
 

My initial bracket has 3 big ten teams in the final four with miami beating Indiana in the elite 8. I'm going to sleep on it and when my mind is clear realize how crazy that is, but for now that's what i'm going with!
 

I have three Big Ten teams in the Elite 8, but one of them is a complete crapshoot, IMO. That said, I have two in the Final Four. In reality, we have five teams that have a legitimate shot at the Final Four, which is pretty impressive.
 


I'm planning on doing a bracket where all B1G teams win until they play another B1G school.
 

Is level of hatred your tie-breaker for B1G schools?
 

I honestly don't see a team in the Big Ten that is complete enough to run the table. With that said, all of the high seeded teams have issues (lets not forget kansas being beaten by TCU) so really anyone could take it. Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan State, or Michigan could potentially make a big run. I don't see it happening, but there have been some interesting games this year.
 

How important can it be to win the title? Maybe the best team isn't in the Big Ten. The important thing is that many of the best teams are in the Big Ten.
 



BIG has looked good so far other than an abysmal Wisky performance (terrible skunks)

Mich St by 11 over Valpo
OSU by 25 over Iona
Illinois by 8 over Colorado
Indiana by 21 over JMU
Michigan by 15 over SDSU
Minnesota by 20 over UCLA
Only loss Wisky by 11 over Ole Miss in a game they blew.
Not a whole lot of nail biters for the conference. I've thought they've looked the part thus far as the top conference.Big 12 and Big East really took it on the chin going 2-3 and 3-5 respectively.
 


The Big Ten has one in the Final Four - so there is still a chance.
 




I am not sure if anyone will beat Louisville. Wow!
