Bonnies get in and they might make it to a matchup with Purdue.

Once again, even though everyone is spouting about how weak the B1G was all year look for 3-4 teams to make runs...I think Ohio State will be the odd one out.

Michigan - Rnd 32 at least maybe Sweet 16
Purdue - Rnd of 16 maybe Elite 8
MSU - National Champions- Final Four minimum.

Ohio State first round loss.:chief:

It would be pretty cool for the "down" B1G if all 4 made Sweet 16, 3 in Elite 8, 2 in Final Four and the NC. But dreaming of course.

Whilst I dream, would be great if 5 or more from SEC were knocked out in first round.

I think the issue for big ten teams always has been and will continue to be physicality. Are the refs gonna let you play? Conference play is so physical and grinding but the tournament is more free flowing and finesse. How do quickly do players/coaches/refs adjust and settle in? That goes a long way toward who makes a run. But I don’t think your “dream” scenario is out of the question.

Michigan benefits from an extremely weak grouping. I have them in the final 4 actually. And looking at some expert picks, that's not too uncommon of a pick.

Watch out for the madness! I got the team no one is talking about, SDSU knocking off Houston, Michigan and Providence on their way to a bracket busting elite eight! ☺

Where is the loyalty bracket challenge? I wanna talk the talk and then finish in the bottom 10% like every year.

Go Radford!

After 3 years of being in my doc program and describing Radford as "the school down the road from Virginia Tech," I might be able to instead say, "Radford is the school down the road from Virginia Tech that got blown out by Villanova."
