Big 10 overrated in BB?

[victor2111]

I'm starting to think so.

Michigan State to me is the only legit team right now and that is IF they're fully healthy.

- Ohio State/Wisconsin were top 5 teams earlier and now struggle
- Michigan has been a surprise but I think pear too early. I think they will start playing like we saw them against Indiana this past Sunday
- Iowa is solid but nothing great. Way better and improved team but not a team that scares me.
- Purdue/NW/Indiana are solid but nothing special .
- The list goes on and on.

I just don't see many teas that you would say are legit dangerous teams besides MSU. Last year was different. This year is blah.


For those wondering: Wisconsin is #24 in coaches. tOSU is #25 in coaches. Both dropped out in AP(Wisconsin #26, tOSU #27).

The big Ten will show up in the tourney with msu, wisky, ttun, and one other school between Iowa and Indiana. The parity is huge in college basketball. I look for the big twelve to dominant the first weekend as well come tourney time.

The thing is, right now, the B1G really does not have many good OOC wins. And many of our top teams lost to bad OOC teams as well

Key OOC games for the top 3 teams in the B1G

MSU: Lost- G-Town (12-9), UNC (14-7)
        Won- Kentucky (16-5)


Iowa: Lost- Villanova (20-2), Iowa State (16-4)
        Won- Xavier (15-7)


Michigan: Lost- Iowa State (16-4), Charleston (14-7),  Duke (17-5), Arizona (21-1)
              Won- Stanford (14-7)

It seems that all of the top B1G teams have been losing OOC games and they really don't have any big wins to back them up.

I think ACC has two legit Final Four teams in Cuse/Duke.

Anbody watch their game this past Sunday? Best CBB of the year.

For me, Kansas is or at least will be the best team at the end of the year.

I think the league is very good. We have been overrated when we had 3 or 4 teams in the top ten, but we will prove ourselves in the tourney (as a league)

Oh I agree with some of that, lol. As I told you I'm on the Michigan State bandwagon to win it all. But I've MSU vs Kansas NC is what I told my friends right now before seeing the bracket and if they are on the opposite side.

I told people I loved Kansas and loved what Self did in the OOC. #1 OOC by far. It got their freshman players tested early, I know they loss quite a few of games, but it was a huge learning experience and made them grow up a lot. Now they're really starting to hit their peak. Embiid is a stud Center and might end up #1 pick. Wiggins is stud ATH and could be #1 also.

I think Kansas/Duke are two young teams that have lots of potential. I think MSU is the experience team I love the most.

I will also say Kentucky could make a run depending on matchup.
