I've seen and heard many Big Ten games this year. There are no great teams in the conference. However, the competition has been fierce, and I think that bodes well for the NCAA tourney. While Big Ten teams usually fare poorly in March, I see them scoring some upsets this year - although I do not believe any will make it to the Final Four.

I do know this - Quincy Lewis of the Gophers has turned into a hell of a player.

<<As far as the Big 10 getting in 7 or 8 teams in the NCAA Tourney<<

We will have 7 for sure-- we have had 7 quite a bit over the past decade.

8 would be a record.

Look at the Top 25 dude......

There shouldn't be any scars from the Kentucky collapse last year. Duke has been a terrible "down the stretch" team for several years now. Offensive execution has been awful at crunch time. That collapse was pretty much the standard for that team. This year's team is significantly better. Unlike the previous few years, we can feed the post, get shooters open off screens, etc. And Wayne Turner won't have Wojo to abuse.
