Definitely agree that Michigan seems to be the aggressor in all these instances, but haven't we been saying for years with all the cheap crap Wisconsin does someone is eventually going to "punch back" either figuratively or literally....

I'm glad we aren't doing what Michigan is doing, but someone doing it to Wisconsin after two decades of them being little twats doesn't break my heart either. 

I'm good with it trust me. I've hated Wisconsin since Butch 3....but what I want from the league is to have a consistent approach. Didn't Griffin from Illinois get suspended 2 games for stomping a guy? Dickinson knew exactly what he was doing. It wasn't just a coincidence.

I'd be shocked if past performance of a conference as a whole has anything to do with the current years selections or seeding, especially since they don't even really look at conference affiliation when making the selections anyways. 

I'm also not even really sure that the Big Ten has performed poorly historically over time. 

Agreed on both. They absolutely don't look at past years in seeding, and the Big Ten reputation for underperforming is all based on not winning a title recently, and the top seeds underperforming. The middle of the pack B1G teams have actually performed pretty well relative to expectations. If you look at the 7-11 seeds, the big ten hasn't lost a first round game since 11 seeded Michigan in 2016. That includes a sample of 13 teams with those seeds since 2017 who have all advanced past the first round.

On the flip side, the top seeds have struggled. Three 5 seeds, one 2 seed, one 4 seed, and one 6 seed all lost in round one during that same timeframe.

I know your talking about men's, but I'm going to throw in my top women's candidate, Kaitlyn Clark - Iowa! lol

The fact that she slipped out of celebrating a win with her teammates to go have the crowd cheer at her was disgusting.  Poor parenting and coaching since 3rd grade.  

If you are a coach or have a young athlete,  point out to your kids how disgusting and self centered that trash is.  I hope she gets smacked so hard in the face that she can't see the basket.

You shouldn't drop much when you lost to another good team, imo. 

Where else would you put a 5 loss Purdue team in this week's poll.... I struggle a bit....

You can add Buie to the list. Pretty much every white kid from Wisconsin because they remind me of Davisson....and while I'm at it almost everyone on Rutgers and Michigan St too.

We did and probably still do....but like my non IU buddies say it's not our kids past or present. It's us the fans and still stems back to the Knight days. TJD and JHS could feed the homeless in Africa and they probably would still hate them.

I remember my son Wrestling, the tradition was after a match wrestlers would go shake the hand of the opponent’s coach. His coach thought it was trivial he was always onto the next match and barely acknowledged the handshake and didn’t press his team to follow the tradition. (Don’t get me wrong I have all the respect for him but it wasn’t important to him) I told my son you WILL shake hands or he and I would have issue.
