[QUOTE="Navy_illini, post: 1612982, member: 748110"] I am trying to figure out the Big Ten’s performance given all of the advantages 1. All games in Indiana and playing some of the games at Big Ten venues 2. Teams have experience playing without fans unlike some of the other conferences which had fans most of the year. 3. Favorable seeding 2 1 seeds and 2 seeds a 4 seed Every team has their reasons on losing which are valid for their situation but only having 2 teams left tells me the conference needs to figure it out. No national championship in 20 years along with this performance something needs to happen. Are we all too cookie cutter I don’t know. BU tried his SFA defense but that did not work due to the fouls but in the tournament underdogs like Abilene Christain is able to play it and win a game BU was smart moving away from that for the Big Ten play. I tend to agree with others we need more out of conference games. The Big Ten already has an unbalanced schedule so losing 2 conference games would not hurt. Playing a MVC team does not hurt in the regular season. We should look to schedule a good zone team and play teams with a variety of styles that you can’t find in the Big Ten [/QUOTE]
