lol @ 1 and 2

As always, we will see who’s standing at the end.

Top of Big 12 >> anyone in B1G IMO and they boast 5 of top 11 in kenpom (even though I don’t think KU is very good)

You had this same argument for football until the Big has won the last couple championships obviously proved to be the best conference in football.

Basketball though I do agree. I just don’t see a team in the BIG that will be cutting the nets in bball. I think this years March madness will be interesting. Just haven’t seen a dominant team.

Isn't Arizona 11-1 in the Big 12 tied for 1st?

Pretty sure they are 0-2 against the Big 10

Wisconsin killed them and UCLA also beat them.

Pretty sure the Big 10 can compete with the Top
 
Listen

BYU
Pittsburg
North Carolina
Vanderbilt
Arkansas
SMU
Boise State
Texas
Georgia
Gonzaga
Cincinnati

There are a few more that I feel NU should be ahead of, but those 11 have no business being ahead of Nebraska in any metric IMO
After North Carolina finishes getting curb stomped by Clemson, I'm sure they will be bumped up to a 3 or 4 seed.

WTF Sarcasm

In November when AZ’s new team was gelling?

Nice!
 
That's great... that is because there are 4 teams and then a bunch of gimme wins

Let me guess... those 4 teams would dominate the Big 10?
100% of the Big East’s tourney teams reached the Sweet 16 last year.

Johnnies are pretty fun to watch.

So nice of you to take the time to post here, Mr Commissioner.
 
Why are you so abrasive/defensive?

Are you incapable of having a discussion with somebody unless they completely agree with everything you say?
You called me Mr. Commissioner... I called you Ken Pomeroy's jock strap.

tit for tat buddy

You base aĺl your predictions on Kenpom, I use multiple sources

95% of the analytical sites have Big 10 as the #2 conference. You continue to make the argument that the Big 10 is not good. You also have claimed BYU is getting better conference metrics, and that is false information.

I am just pointing out that 95% of computer driven data disagrees with your opinion. I have no idea if the Big 10 will do well in the NCAA tournament and neither do you. However according to this years data the Big 10 is better than the Big 12, ACC and Big East... Therefore should have more teams in the tournament. There is a reason they are going to get 9 or 10 in this year.

B1G gets 8+ teams in every year. We surely benefit from being part of a league the media adores.

Same story - good hoops conference incapable of producing a title winner. I haven’t said anywhere it’s “not good”. Just that there are no serious title contenders for the umpteenth straight year.

The metrics say the B1G and Big 12 are basically identical.

Fwiw I don’t buy into the SEC hype this season.

Didn't Purdue contend for the title last year? I mean they didn't win, but pretty sure getting to the championship is contending
 
They contended for the title last year like the chiefs did this year

A 0.00% chance of winning
They made it further than any SEC, ACC and God forbid Big 12 team

Oh by the way how many Big 12 teams made it to the Sweet 16 last year? Arizona was Pac 12 so they don't count.
 
Purdue looks like the best team in the big ten this year. Pretty fun to watch, much more pleasing than the edey show.

Again, you’re getting very weirdly defensive.

Don’t worry, bud. This is a safe space. We are just having a college basketball conversation.
