Bye-Bye Buckeyes

[JCREEK]

I love how it's coming down to conference smack now. Good grief. The Big East is certainly proving their worth in their final go-round, but the Big Ten is now 13-6 in the tournament. Not exactly bad numbers. Oh, and 12-1 vs. the Big 12.

The big ten had the best seeds in the tourney played almost home games first two rounds and now may not get any teams in the final 4 what a joke. All season we heard how great the big ten is and once again they are a joke in the NCAA tourney. CBS all season said how great they were. Look now big ten is average at best. Big East looking like it is way better. 23 years since the big 10 has won the thing that is horrible. And a little more than funny!!!

You would not cheer for UNI or Drake in the final 4?

Drake, probably. Purple Iowa, no.

Not sure about joke but there is lots of truth here.

Welp, michigan to the final four. With a 22 point win over florida. 14-6 in the dance. 3 wins over higher seeds. Big east is 11- 5 in the tourney.

Same. I dislike uni.

 

[Cycsk]

lol. Some Buckeyes think something nefarious was going down

Scout.com: Was it fixed?

Wow, that is really sad.

 

[Cycsk]

This is the typical reaction when programs accustom to getting (benefit of the doubt) favorable treatment get an evenly called game. You see it from KU in any close game or loss. Hell, you have some KU fans thinking nefarious behavior from the refs is to blame for their loss- the refs purposefully did not eject Johnson so would KU lose.

Heard much of this in Dayton last weekend with tons of Ohio State and Indiana fans around. I couldn't believe the things that brought them to their feet to yell at the refs. It seemed like they thought every call was unfair to them.

Big East looks to be the toughest conference, although the Big 10 did pull out some close wins against lower seeds to help their cause.

I wished we would have played off of Craft more like WSU did. He's a great defender but an average driver and a poor shooter. He looked very average when WSU back way off and begged him to shoot. Difference in the game.

"Average driver?" Not in our game. He was really tough to handle when he drove.

Sounds like an afternoon at Hilton.

Nobody is objective about their team, especially in the middle of a game, but the Indiana fans were over-the-top. They were up and yelling about everything. Perhaps the fact that they were weasels who snuck into the empty seats in the Iowa State section explains what kind of fans they are.

We played off craft once and he hit a 3 pointer at the buzzer to win.

Any conference with 3 in the elite 8 is far from a joke in the tourney, and your wrong about the last time the big ten won. It was 2000.

13 years is still not brag worthy

I suppose justifying degrees of pathetic is not a debate that adds any real value.

Big 12 has 1 since 1988. Acc, big east, and sec are top 3 as far as champs go in the last two decades.
