Ohio St. was the last chance for a Big10 team to advance to the sweet 16

Yes, ACC and Big East are the best.

I do believe so...

The Big 10 style of play, minus Mich St. when they're locked a loaded, is SLOPPY... that is the only thing that you can call it...

The fact is that you have a lot of big named footballs schools (Ohio St., Michigan, Wisconsin etc...) who get attention for football and for some reason the media thinks it should carry on in basketball since they do get a lot of big recruits... But it ends up just being a sloppy as hell confrence when it comes to basketball unless some Flint, Michigan boys are playing for Izzo...

So basically, it's all 'hype'... when it comes to it, they're no better than a Mountain West or Atlantic 10 (or what have you) confrence...

Basically, Michigan State will get a lot of preseason and regular season voting for a top 10 style team, and when Michigan State doesn't bring their A game, the teams that beat them, and the teams that beat the teams that beat them will be thought of as top notch because they are sitting above the Spartans...

What we had this year with the Big 10 was not 'madness'... it was the hard cold truth... the Big 10 is sloppy as all hell, and without Michigan State they'd just be 'another' weak confrence...
