Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 4214316, member: 626"] Exactly. Every year there’s the mantra that a league is weak, and sure enough come tournament time it usually gets turned on its head. For better or worse, the 2 week tournament always determines a team’s, and/or leagues success over an entire season. The B1G is probably the only league that has consistently underperformed in both basketball and football. And you know what…it doesn’t mean Jack squat. Every year the pundits will overrate Mich and OSU, et al…and talk about how the Big12 or someone else is the best conference in basketball for instance. But depending on how they perform in the Big Dance, they’ll either be vindicated or ridiculed. All this “conference strength” isht means nothing, except as another way for fanbases to discuss the sport. Next year we’ll hear how the Big East or Pac12 is the “best” conference & come the postseason, they either be proven right or dismissed. Rinse and repeat. [/QUOTE]
