B1G/NCAA basketball

[hack]

Dunno. Kansas has the look of a team that will round into form nicely in six weeks and will be quite formidable.

dooook at Syracuse should be a great game tonight.

Lenzelle Smith is comically awful.

[Dr. Strangelove]

No kidding...that missed layup that would have put us up 3 was atrocious

[Kstat]

Now you see why I didn't make a big deal about winning in Madison. Michigan was lucky to see them when they did. Wiscy will be lucky to be ranked next week.

The entire B1G is hot garbage right now. There's M and MSU and everyone else, and MSU is starting to wear down without their starting frontline.

If M ran the table I still don't think they'd get a #1 seed. Not enough good teams in this mediocre sandwich league to get quality victories against.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Which league is better and why?

Virginia is 2nd place in the ACC right now and Wisconsin beat them without a ton of trouble earlier in the year

The Big12?

No other responses can even be taken seriously

[iam416]

B10 is probably still the best league. Just not dominant.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Very true...and MSU losing to a very mediocre Georgetown team yesterday didn't help us any.

Every league though has some very bad teams...and I'm not sure Penn State or Northwestern are as awful as, say, Boston College, Virginia Tech, TCU, Auburn, or USC.

[iam416]

Yeah. I'd love to know which league is better.

[Dr. Strangelove]

I think you can make an argument for the Big12 this year. That's about it.

The ACC has a bunch of hot garbage in its bottom half.

Like I said, even attempting to make an argument for the Big East, AAC, Pac12, or SEC would be laughable.

[iam416]

Non-conference was fairly unkind to B12. I want to like KU, but then I watch them play Texas and dial back a bit.

I'd probably take the B10 over B12, but it's close. Wisky and OSU are over the edge, IMO, and not coming back.

[hack]

The Big Ten is so bad it should probably be dismantled and the teams barred from ever playing each other again. It's an outrage. I am personally offended.

[WM Wolverine]

The top half of the B10 would look better if there were some really bad teams to beat up on like most leagues. Instead the bottom of the league isn't that much worse than the #4/#5 teams and stealing some games. Rutgers should help.

[entropy]

I blame Nebraska
