redout22 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 If Nebraska does end up going to the Big 10, which I have accepted, how do you think we will do in basketball? Chances are we will get a little more attention but we will have to go against more powerhouses especially if Cuse and UCONN make the switch too. The pace is slower in the Big 10 so I gues that favors us a little because thats how we play but I wonder what recruits will think. I wonder if the change will help us and we get a couple recruits out of this. Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I wouldn't necessarily say they have more powerhouses. big xii has been pretty stacked the last four years. i haven't done the research, but off the top of my head haven't they had like 3 of the last 5 or so number 1 nba picks and they have been talked about as potentially the toughest conference. granted this year they didn't do too well in the tourney, but i don't think i'd say the big 10 has MORE powerhouses Quote Link to comment

They already have Indiana and Illinois who are powerhouses and them two would just add one. The Big 12 has KU and I guess Texas but thats it. Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 i understand what you're saying, but syracuse and uconn are long shots - not much talk about them being serious options. as for the big xii, i realize we can't call kstate a powerhouse, but it's pretty obvious they are going to be good for quite awhile. and yes, texas is a powerhouse Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 also, i dont know if you read the journal star but they pointed out what you mentioned in your original post about the pace of the game. i dont have it in front of me but i think that the leading big ten scoring team would have ranked ninth in the big twelve, or something like that Quote Link to comment
MSUSparty Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 It's kinda late, but welcome to the Big 10. If you are intrested in Big 10 basketball, the BTN just posted The Journey 2010 on hulu. http://www.hulu.com/search?query=The+Journey+2010%3A+Big+Ten+Basketball&st=1 They also have the older seasons with Illini Football and Tubby's first year at Minny Quote Link to comment
