As with every year, I'm taking the Orange to win it all.
If I had 4 teams to pick to get to the final 4 and in order of my choices to win it all:
1) SYRACUSE, living and dying with them since I was 10.
2) ILLINOIS, they really are that good.
3) LOUISVILLE, who should be a #2 or #3 seed at the very least (they are hot).
4) UCONN, it's a toss up between them and UNC but since the Heels forget to play Defense too often ...

Illini
Normally I pick against the Big 10, but not this time. It will also be great to say the last and only team to beat the National Champs would be

It figures you'd find a way to make an Ohio St reference in a tourny they're not part of. You're as shameless with the Buckeyes as I am with Syracuse.

He's just jealous because the Cowboys (Oklahoma State) are going!!!

And they would have made the tourney except for thier self mandated banishment.

And they would have made the tourney except for thier self mandated banishment.
Sure, self mandated only because they knew it would be better to beat the NCAA to the punch and slap their own wrist just as they saw Big Daddy winding up to administer the big spanking. At least they have a good coach and can look forward to the future. Then again that's what Michigan thought when they went on probation and then got their spiffy new Coach K disciple who's been able to get them nowhere. If only Jim Jackson had eligibility left ...

Michael Redd still has two years left :) Jim Jackson, boy I've lost track of how many NBA teams he has played for.

I think he's hanging around waiting for Columbus to get a franchise. If that happened maybe they could also lure Granville Waiters out of retirement (my all-time favorite Hoops Buckeye).

Speaking of all time favorite Buckeye Hoopsters, you see who is the new coach for The Orlando Magic? Jent was a kick butt allways give 100% on the floor. Him and Jay Burson are two of my favorite. I see your ahead of me so far. I'll catch up when Syracuse loses.

I did see Jent got the interim job. Maybe he can funnel Florida high schoolers up to Columbus.
Go Orange!

The men are even on the front page of the sports section here in Columbus. Go Big10

Three Big Ten teams in the men's elite eight. Not bad for the conference the so-called experts loved to trash all season!
-
The conference got knocked but in a different way. They have 2 very good teams in MSU and ILL, a Wisconsin team that I still think is less than very good but is definitely good, an Iowa team that was average at best, an Indiana team that is below average and 6 crappy teams. Great strength at the top and nothing much else. The Big East and ACC had far superior strength with teams 4-7, but in the end it doesn't matter how many teams make the tourney but how many go far and who wins it. The Big 10 takes the cake so far though I still win big $$ in Lousiville wins it all. Go Cards!!!!!
-
Ohio State won 20 games Minnesota won 21 and made the tourney. not exactly "crappy" Also not a lot of people calling MSU a good team till they beat Duke & Kentucky. Illini really the only team the critics liked all year. But we will see what we will see this weekend Spartans Rule!! ;D
-
True, those teams were OK but compared to a league like the Big East which had a Top 3 of BC, UConn and Syr but then had 4-5-6 teams like Pitt, Villinova & WV (a very big step up from OSU, IU and UMinn IMO) the Big 10 seemed very mediocre after the big three. In the end the middle and bottom weren't great but that didn't matter as the big 3 ended up being the Very Big 3.
BTW, I thought MSU was overrated until I saw them vs Duke and Ky. They are a very disciplined team and have much more talent than I gave them credit for outside davis. I think they've got a good chance against a UNC team that seems to thrive too mcuh on pure athleticism (which they have). MSU can win with killer defense, few turnovers and good rebounding.
-
You are right about the Big Ten, compared to the ACC & the Big East both had more quality throughout MSU had done nothing to earn more respect but after watching them play every game the last four years I knew they had the talent but not the heart If they could somehow beat UNC they will have accomplished something, to beat Duke, Kentucky, and UNC Whew!! I can hardly wait ,but I am not very confident. :-/

As an alum of another great university in Ann Arbor, I give my utmost respect to the green and white of MSU and hope they continue on their quest to be the best!! GO STATE!

Thank you for a very gracious post ;)

That's because schools in Columbus, Ohio are have maps that show Michigan as part of Canada.
