Big Ten not very good again

[longtimer]

Michigan State Indiana and Purdue all go down in Big non conference games. I think it’s been 25 years since they have won a NC and it doesn’t look good this year. Maybe Michigan. At least gives Iowa better chance to compete

lol Michigan State isn't good now because they had a close lost to another top ten team? Purdue is still very much good despite getting handled by State, it just goes to show how good state is, at this point in the season.

It was just 2024 that Purdue was in the national title game. And Michigan and Wisconsin had a shot fairly recently too.

Just because Bigten isn't necessarily the best conference in basketball doesn't make it "not very good". This very well could be the year they get a NCAA champion even.

Given that Michigan State got beat by #4 Duke, Indiana got beat by #6 Louisville and Purdue got beat by #10 Iowa St, I believe we can take your evaluation of the conference as a whole a bit premature. Time will tell.
