I think the big ten is striving for the NFL model of parity (mediocrity). There are 8 teams that are between 6-5 and 5-6. That is 4th-11th place

The Big Ten has always valued quantity over quality. The league would much rather have 10 teams make the tournament with 8 of them done the first weekend than only 5 make it with three of them in the Elite 8 or farther.

I just think there are way to many teams in the conference which leads to less quality.

Disagree.

The Big Ten has had quantity over quality.

Not sure how the conference could set the rules/schedule/rosters to value quantity over quality.

There so many things I want to say but that requires some colorful language.

At the end of the 22 season, Bacot announced he would be coming back for another year.

At the end of the 23 season, Bacot announced he was coming back.  Mock drafts felt he would have gone undrafted.

He's now a fifth year senior and not even the most important player on North Carolina.  That's RJ Davis.  Bacot is a really good college player but as bad as the ACC is this year, I'm not sure that North Carolina isn't still the best team in the ACC even if they were without him.

It's now UVA 49, Miami 23 with about 10 minutes left. 

I have a bad feeling that's what Saturday night will look like in West Lafayette. 

You think we can hold them to 49 in the first 30 minutes?

I kid, I kid.  Just have to hope for things to get better because I don't have any control over anyway.

Kansas and K State in a battle, I think there have been 3 whistles blown in 11 minutes of play, I think the longest stretch of nothing but play was like 7 or 8 minutes. Something the Big Ten could only dream of. Pencil me in as a guy that would rather watch Big East and Big 12 just based on officiating.
