Anyone think the Big Ten might pull it out this year? They're hanging in there so far. All the games have been so close and exciting! Kudos to tUOS for pulling the upset. Hopefully UM can do an emphatic number on Maryland tomorrow.

I was thinking the same thing. It would have been great if Illinois could have held on against Clemson - or if Iowa could have finished the comeback against BC.

Someday, I hope the Big 10 gets the upper hand. Duke does look good, and took it to Purdue in West Lafayette. That game wasn't even close...

Two big games tonight with Indiana, and MSU playing #1 UNC. I hope the Big Ten can pull it out this year, I mean we're bound to win one eventually 1-9 here we come!

When does Michigan play Maryland? Is that tonight too?

Yup, I think there are 5 games tonight. Its 3-3 right now.

Wow, State dropped the ball last night. I don't know what happened. They really didn't play that bad (in the first half), UNC is just amazing. I still think Tyler Hansbrough looks like he's 12 though. Just a really big 12-year-old.

Nice job Penn State, and Northwestern (if they were able to hang on, I wasn't able to finish watching it). Michigan played pretty well and almost beat Maryland too. Hopefully this means that the BigTen as a whole is getting stronger, not the ACC getting weaker.

GoGreen23,

I agree there - I hope the Big 10 is getting better. Though I follow football more closely than hoops, I always have my fingers crossed for a hoops invitation to the Dance - and I'm getting a feeling that we might merit one this year.

I also hoped that Michigan could have held on to beat Maryland - and for either Illinois or Iowa to win as well. One year I hope the Big 10 wins this challenge - and, I thought this was the year we might have been able to do that.

I do think there's some difference at the top of the conferences - MSU and Purdue got "handled" by Carolina and Duke. Wisconsin just held on to beat VT. As a conference, we've got to do better against their better teams.

I don't know who is going to beat that UNC team, just an amazing amount of talent always on the floor. Someone will really need to catch them with their pants down this year to beat them.
