ND – overvalued?
Purdue – finished weak
Georgetown – Wright will play, but how is his hand?

As with any job, it’s tough to do be an expert if you don’t have the working knowledge. Those guys don’t watch college ball all year. They can’t be considered experts.

Proof there… Greg Anthony is now a fabulous college basketball analyst. He knows ball AND watches college ball all year.

Barkley was right about Ohio State.

Sure he was. That was the first half of basketball they’ve seen OSU play all year.

I love Kenny and Charles talking NBA because no one knows more about the Association than they do. However, I’ve heard more factually incorrect stuff in the last 30 hours from the NBA guys (Kenny, Charles, Steve Kerr, etc…) than I’ve heard all year.

what does Villanova have to do with anything?

If Villanova was playing right now and sucking, nobody would say that Big East basketball sucks. That’s the point.

yes, but the Big Ten teams are always de-valued. Just b/c the name “PSU” doesn’t stand out, doesn’t mean they’re any worse than Villanova right now.

huh?

There’s even one site out there that has Maryland getting a bid. ???!!

Brandon Tierney is killing the Big Ten on twitter…the Big Ten has more NBA-bound players this year than the Big East. Put these games in MSG and people would magically love them so much more.

That’s true, and it’s because MSG is a magical venue to watch a basketball game.

He has Clemson out as well (along with St Mary’s and BC).

Coaches in the Big 10 value tempo and reduced turnover rate more than any conference in the country. That value tends to make games look slower, because there are less fast breaks and less dunks. It certainly doesn’t make the teams any worse though.

CC – Did you look at the teams OSU beat in the B10 tourney?
Should they be rewarded for any of those wins?

From any measure, KenPom, RPI, etc…, the Big 10 is stronger than any conference in the country. Those numbers are likely skewed away from the Big East because of the sorry state of affairs at DePaul, South Florida, etc… However, let’s try not to diminish the fact that the Big 10 is really fucking good this year. It isn’t aesthetically pleasing all the time (36-33!!!), but the quality is definitely there.

THIS. Maybe make the pictures as wide at the date (square it from there)?

Agreed.

Football is also a more popular sport in America than basketball. If there was a high school-level football national championship, it’d do well in the ratings.
