Let this be your thread to either show your conference pride or bash B1G teams for losing.

Wednesday Games

Iowa vs. Hillbillies of Rocky Top

Thursday Games

Ohio State vs. Dayton
Wisconsin vs. American
Michigan vs. Wofford
Michigan State vs. Delaware

Friday Games

Baylor vs. Nebraska

I can't say I'm rooting for any of you guys to win a game since we lost to everyone of you, and frick you Michigan.

A little History

Last time someone won a title was 2000 Michigan State. Since then the B1G has went 0-5 in Title Game appearances.

Runner ups
2002 Indiana
2005 Illinois*
2007 Ohio State
2009 Michigan State
2013 Michigan (lol)

*Probably one of the best teams to never win it all but among the most elite in NCAA history.

Final Fours since 2000

Indiana: 2002
Michigan: 2013
Illinois: 2005
Ohio State: 2007, 2012
Michigan State: 2000, 2001, 2005, 2009, 2010
Wisconsin: 2000

I think this is like a conference best if anyone is counting. MSU looks like the favorite out of the bunch again as long as Izzo doesn't have to play UNC.

Predictions

Iowa will get bounced by UT
OSU out after losing to Cuse
Michigan loses to Duke in the sweet 16
Badgers fall in the elite 8
Huskers upset Baylor then lose to Jays then everyone will fear Brasketball next season
MSU to the final four but loses to Florida

Well Hockey, Wrestling and Volleyball but lately it's been Penn State winning everything and most of the other schools getting scraps. This doesn't include other non revenue titles won by schools, just the best sports in the conference.

In this one case I'll get the back of a tOSU fan.

Let's go B1G. Would rather see tOSU go far than MSU this year.

Thats incredible!! I find it interesting that people make fun of the B1G for not having won a title since 2000. Show me another conference that has sent as many teams to the Finals in that same time span. 5 different teams have made the Finals. That just proves that the B1G is the best conference. I dont care what people from Florida or Kentucky say, the SEC is a freaking joke in Basketball. My picks for the first round:

Iowa
Ohio State
Wisconsin
Michigan
Michigan State
Nebraska

I think the B1G goes a perfect 6-0. When it comes to the post season, over the years, i have become so annoyed with the B1G hate that i root for every team in the conference to win...even Michigan. Screw the haters....GO B1G!

LSU, UK, and UF have all made multiple Final 4 appearances since 2000 (LSU in 06).

Tennessee made an Elite 8 under Pearl as well.

Thats it? 3 teams have made the Final 4 since then? Half of the entire B1G has made the Final 4 in that same time. Right now the SEC is Kentucky and Florida and nobody else.

Buckeyes either going to look like world beaters or crash and burn in this tournament IMO.

Actually wouldn't mind seeing the conference do well this weekend, then see the Bucks and Spartans lose heartbreakers next week. OSU has been on a slight uptick the last couple of weeks and I think they get it done tomorrow. Just don't think they can score enough to beat Cuse. Sparty goes to FF, but I think will have fits with Cinci if they play them. Michigan wins 1st round, but everything is a coin flip after that. Wisconsin v. Nebraska in the Sweet 16? No idea bout Franny-ball tonight.

Derp. They can both win two games, right? Why is the Committee not spreading out conference opponents like they did in the past?
