The Big 10 has won 1 national title in basketball in 31 years

the Big 10 has 1 NCAA tournament title, and that was 21 years ago with Michigan State.

And that was basically an asterisked title
If Kenyon Martin didn’t break his leg, they wipe the floor with that team

One of the weird things is they’ve had plenty of teams get to the final four, so the teams are really good. I think they’ve lost like 8 national title games or something.

2015 Wisky prob had the best shot as they beat that great Kentucky team.

2015 Wisky

Not sure why I thought they won the NC

Since 1990:
Kentucky has 8 F4 appearances 1 title
Arkansas has 3 F4 appearances 1 title
Florida has 5 F4 appearances and 2 titles
LSU has 1 F4 appearance
AU has 1 F4 appearance
USC has 1 F4 appearance
MSU has 1 F4 appearance

Out of 120 possible F4 appearances the SEC accounts for over 15%. That’s pretty stout considering we get no love from any media outlet as a conference.

Since 1990, the Big 10 has 1 NCAA tournament title, and that was 21 years ago with Michigan State.

In that same span, the SEC, a supposed shitty, 1-team league has 6 titles by 3 dif. teams (Kentucky, Arkansas and Florida).

The Pac 12/10, the legendary conf of UCLA has only 2 titles (1995 UCLA and 97 Arizona).

The ACC has a bizillion with like 11 or 12.

The Big 12, amazingly, only has 1 title, 2008 Kansas.

The Big East has 8 by a ton of teams.


So, in conclusion, the Big 10, which gets blown by the media every single year, has as many championships in an entire generation+, as the fricking WAC.

I love all of these arbitrary dates. If you go back 3 more years, the B1G won the titles in 1989 and 1987...very selective years. Anyway, you are correct since 1990...BUT...the B1G has had more teams make the National Championship than any other conference!!! Lets not act like the B1G still isnt the deepest conference in America. Again, more teams from the B1G have made the national title in the last 31 years than ANY conference. Also, i believe in this same time frame, the B1G has been the only conference with multiple teams in the Final Four in multiple years. For whatever reason, the league just hasn't produced the best team. That doesn't mean from top to bottom, that it isn't the best conference....which it is!!

All of these "titles" are mainly by 1-2 schools. The B1G is simply the deepest most competitive league in the country. I know this board has a collective circle jerk trying to trash the B1G, but the FACTS show that the B1G is the best conference year in and year out.

Can’t argue this post....

Oden proceeds to ball out while they have one of their worst shooting performances of the season, shooting 17% from 3. And Florida shot 55%.

Pretty much the difference. Prime Oden was a monster.

Oden basically was the only big that ever gave the Horford/Noah combo problems in the paint while they were at UF.

Ill never understand the media hype and love for the Big 10. I guess because it used to be the premier conference decades ago when that region was the center of growth, prosperity and industry while the south was agricultural and poor and most of its colleges not very relevant. Perceptions and all.

Reality is the Big 10 region is full of dying rust belt states bleeding population while the south is the fastest growing region, population and money wise. And that money is pouring into our universities combined with more talent in these states to pick from.

This is the dumbest shite i have ever read. Especially coming from a school that never wins shite (Mississippi St). Did you not read my posts above pointing out the facts and how great of a conference the B1G is? Year in and year out, top to bottom, the B1G is THE best basketball conference in America. Just stop with this tired rhetoric. Care to explain how all those northern Big East schools won championships in a "dying" region???

Fricking Grayson Allen killed them for 16 that game. They effectively handled Okafor, Tyus Jones was always going to get his that game, but they couldn't guard Allen
