2017 B1G Tournament

And yet the B1G will get more teams in the dance than the SEC

Possibly but sec is looking anywhere from 6-9 teams making it

I'd like to hear that potential list of 9

Kentucky

Florida

South Carolina

Arkansas

Ole miss

Vandy

Georgia

These last two probably need 2-3 wins in tourny to make it:alabma and auburn

-it's not like the BIG has 8 locks already too BIG still has 2-3 teams on bubble.

-Not to mention the SEC has a title a title contender

The WCC has a title contender, does that make them a better conference

So you're telling me there's a chance!

Morrow, Watson, and Roby are the only 4* recruits in the past 15 years. So I would say for Nebraska standards he recruits well. At the end of the day they have to translate into wins though. Being below .500 isn't acceptable at this point.

 

So if he's got the most talent in 15 years and gets the worst results, what does that mean?

 

 

it means that the first chunk of years was in a worse conference and the talent is currently young and not playing as a unit.

Much better chance that the SEC gets 5 teams in then 9

The BIG is NOT horrible this year. We are one of the top leagues like we are every year (typically we are 1st or 2nd). It is a down year for the BIG because we are missing 2 or 3 teams in the top 10 as we have had in the past. Nebraska is not even close to a top 10 team - so who cares if the big10 doesn't have 3 teams that high because we are going to lose equally to the 10th team in the country as we would the 25-30 team in the country. Now looking at our record against teams from 30-60 in the country would be a good standard and the BIG is not HORRIBLE when it comes to teams in the 20-60 range.

First of all I would argue the BIG was never consistently first or second it was always the old big east(Cuse,Louisville,Pitt,Georgetown,West v,etc) and the ACC battling it out for the top two spots in the recent twenty years, yes u can argue that the BIG won the ACC BIG challenge many times in recent years but that was before they added 3 top programs, not to mention ACC and big east have had more tourny success, and to me now the ACC is clearly on top. The BIG ten on the other hand has one countender this season(Purdue-great big men, average guards, will struggle when they play a team like ucla or Oregon that puts 85 up a game) but wiscy has really been fading and has beaten almost no one. The middle of the conference is average, but even teams like northwestern have nothing out of conference, and Michigan state had three chances against top ten teams early on couldn't get one, so my point is the BIG is incredibly down if u compare it to any other power conference(yes even SEC).

 

 

There is a lot of BS in that long paragraph, however the bold is silly. Everyone agrees that the Big10 is not top heavy - give us 1 contender. That suggest that we have 6 other teams that will make the dance. That alone is more than most conferences will get into the dance. Given that the only two conferences that will have equal or more teams then the Big10 are strong at the top - I would say that the "middle of our conference" is near the top of conferences out there and if not the strongest far from "average".

The last part of your post would fall on coaching then, no??? That is what Mav, myself and others are alluding to when so many throw out the "talent" card

Really b cuz last I checked northwestern has one quality win seems pretty average, Michigan state has about 6 opportunities couldn't get one, Wisconsin has been slipping, Minnesota best win is Vanderbilt, this all seems pretty average to me if u compare it to the ACC other bubble teams like Syracuse have 3 top 10 wins, va tech and Miami combined 29-1 at home, wake forest has 4 top 15 wins that on the other hand not so average

Lot of made up facts here. Syracuse has 1 top 10 win according to RPI with some bad losses. Wake Forest has 1 top 10 win and not 3 with no others in top 25 and 3 sub 100 loses with 1 of those sub 200. Both those teams have more losses than BIG teams listed. Minnesota's best OOC win is vs Arkansas and best overall is @ Purdue. VT and Miami each have lost 2 at home and winning on road is looked more favorably for tournament.

 

You really should actually look up what you're saying because otherwise look dumb when wrong on every single point you made

Be nice to have a coach elevate the program.......

Syracuse beat #6 Florida state, #9 Virginia, and #10 Duke and is 6-6 against RPI 50 and lower

I meant G Tech not V tech- my mistake

Vanderbilt is better than Arkansas, beat them by 15 or so at home and lost by one on the road

[BaeccBIG10]

Va tech lost earlier this week at home did not realize....

[BaeccBIG10]

U cannot say a team is better when they have less losses especially when comparing a ACC team to a BIG team.....This years ACC conference is said to be the best conference ever
