The gap between the Big 10 and the rest of America is truly a sight to behold. We might not have the best overall team in America, but I’m not sure we’ve ever seen a deeper conference.
Again, north of 70% of the conference would be in March Madness if the tournament happened today.

To make matters even more interesting, four teams with losing records in conference play are expected to get in.
That’s a testament to how challenging it is to win in the B1G. There are no easy games!

I can’t wait for the tournament to start. People love to hate on the B1G, but you can’t hate on the facts. We’re the best conference in America, and there’s no close second.
