Are you rooting against Wisconsin and Michigan State in round 1 this year?

Fairly indifferent on those teams this year. I have a harder time rooting against Wisky now that Bo is gone. Not a huge fan of Izzo but dont really care for Miami either.

B1G teams that I hope do well and will be pulling for are Purdue, NW and Michigan.

Lard needs no explanation, everyone knows why he redshirted. Its not even close to the same situation as Moss. Moss redshirted because he sucked last year.

I need to go back and see what you said about Jok and Marble as Fr. I'd bet it was much the same.

Yeah I hate Northwestern in football but find myself rooting for them in BB. Michigan is fun to watch, so I don't have problems with them. Purdue is our most hated rival so I don't know how you can root for them.

See I don't get that. I hope Kansas and WVU get beat by a million. I don't know how you can dislike a team all season long and then flip a switch and be indifferent towards them.

No, I've always been a fan of Jok, hes a local kid who I watched play when he was at Roosevelt. I knew Iowa had a good player on their hands when they got him. Moss, not so much, hes just bad.

You should take some lessons from Twins. You're not very good at this.

Oh, so I dont remember every little seed detail from 4 years ago. So what, next time Ill be sure to look it up for you so I have credibility. The bottom line......

-Big 12 is better than the Big East as indicated by final RPI numbers and Seeds
- Iowa lost to Tennessee that year in the play-in game and would have faced a scrub UMASS
-Jok is alot better at basketball than Moss will ever dream of being.

The BigTen was easily better than the Big12 this year in football, I have yet to see a ISU admit this. I have no problem saying the Big12 was better than BigTen at basketball this year.

I have never said that. My point is that everybody does it with their conference, and there is no way to tell for certain, so it's dumb. I am sure I could find and article that would prove the Big12 was better in some way, but doesn't mean it's true.

The only B1G teams I hate and wouldnt pull for no matter who they played in the tourney would be Minny and Illinois. Wisky used to be on that list but they just are a little harder to hate with Bo gone.

Certainly you feel indifferent towards TCU, Tech, OSU, etc and would pull for them in the tourney.

I get that you cant do it for KU and WVU.

My reasoning for the 3 teams I listed:

Michigan- Bielein is a hell of a good guy and really good coach plus the plane incident from last week and them winning the B1G tourney after going through that.

NW- first time in, hope they make some noise.

Purdue- Like Swanigan, especially like kids that come back to college when they have a chance to be drafted in the 1st round like he did last year.

So Wisconsin and Purdue aren't rivals at all is what you're saying. That makes more sense

Not true. Many fans like me can easily say the Big12 is better than the BigTen in BB. Can you say that about the BigTen being better than the Big12 in football? It is clear they were not just a little better by one metric, they were light years better by every metric.

The Big12 only had 1 win Vs BigTen NCAA teams Ouch. They were really bad against the BigTen head to head.

Congrats to the Big Ten for winning four games against two teams with 11-20 and 11-22 records, and having your 2nd place team beat two middle of the pack Big 12 teams by 1 point each at home. Am I supposed to be impressed?

I've never seen so much parsing. I see you left off the part where 2 NIT teams beat the Big12 #1 and #2 teams. 3-7 is just bad, sorry it just is.
