Big Ten represents

The Big Ten has sent three teams to the Sweet 16. That is more than any other conference. The Big 12, SEC and Big East each sent two teams. Seven other conferences sent one team each. Not that this means diddly squat. I'm just sayin'...  

Some ballyhooed conferences (think east coast) have proven to be over rated. And west coast hoops is not as down as advertised. I guess, in the end, one must judge teams on their own merits; not by the conference to which they belong. But at least until Thursday, the Big Ten rules.

well it's not fair

the Big East didn’t get favorable match ups like the B10 did.

(I’m just trying to help others out with excuses here)

I think UNLV has a pretty good complaint on why they got matched up against Norther Iowa. :)

FILE -- This is an Oct. 18, 2008 file photo showing Connecticut corner back Jasper Howard (6) trying to get the crowd into the game during the fourth quarter of an NCAA college football game against Rutgers, in Piscataway, N.J.   Jasper Howard had his little sisters' names tatooed on his chest. His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
