Johnell Davis is an interesting player 6'4", good athlete, from Gary, IN. Shoots 39% from 3 and getting 13.5 ppg in only 25 mpg. I'd imagine his coach will get a new job and he will be at a new school next year.
There's a core group Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky,
Utterly embarrassing…. Again. Big 10 is now miles below other conferences now. Let’s not act any differently.Miami back in control. Michigan State will be the only Big 10 team in the Sweet 16
LOL, like the Big 12 and ACC?I

If you consider Texas SEC, and UCLA as Big Ten, we’re doing better than ACC, PAC, and B12 … so we got that going for usLOL, like the Big 12 and ACC?
We were a very different team between the start of the year and the end of the year. Unfortunately we were much worse at the end of the year lol.If Indinia loses we will have beat every team in sweet 16 we played during the regular season. Only Arkansas in the tournament would we have lost to. If we only could have done it one more time.
IMO it's the B1G's rough-and-tough style of play that's holding its teams back in the tourney. Lots of post play, not a lot of shooting, and of course, what is considered a foul in the B1G is different from the rest of D-1.
I think it’s more big10 doesn’t have as much size/strength at the guard position compared to other elite power conferences.IMO it's the B1G's rough-and-tough style of play that's holding its teams back in the tourney.

That's kinda my point. The B1G puts most of their size/strength in the post which leads to lackluster guard play. And guards are what wins tourney games.I think it’s more big10 doesn’t have as much size/strength at the guard position compared to other elite power conferences.

I can't pinpoint a one glaring difference but when I watch teams like Miami, some of these SEC and Big 12 teams you can see the difference between those teams and our teams. I don't what it is exactly: speed, size, athleticism, having good ball handlers, shooting. Maybe it's a little bit of all it.
It's adapt or die for the Big Ten
If TCU result holds, I count 3 in the Big12 (Texas, Kansas St, TCU). ACC was not good this year but their track record recently is better than ours at the top (Duke/UNC just were both in the FF last year.) Feel like we’re solidly behind Big12, Big East, SEC, and on par with ACC as a whole though they are more top heavy, whereas we are pretty mediocre throughout.LOL, like the Big 12 and ACC?
That's a big if on TCU. And so far, Texas and KSU have played to seed. Good on them, bit it's not like the Big 12 is killing it. The SEC and Big East, sure.If TCU result holds, I count 3 in the Big12 (Texas, Kansas St, TCU).

I wonder when the last time all 4 of those schools missed the Sweet 16 in the same season.
