Big Ten Styles of Play



Yes, the Big East certainly does have a variety of styles that the Big Ten does not.
Of course,next year they will have 18 schools in their bb conference while the Big Ten will have 12,so I guess that does make sense.

I am fine with Iowa and IU being the teams who are different...that can give Iowa an edge if other teams are not seeing their type of uptempo ball very often,once we get the horses.

I would argue that NW plays uniquely,as does Wisky,but different from each other.
MSU can play fast and slo. Same with OSU. Tubby likes to run up in Minny,when he has the horses.

The Big Ten has a great collection of coaches....so I do not buy this theory. I will say that Louisville,Cuse,and some of the other Big East schools have longer,more athletic,quicker,higher rated players...that is the problem.
 


Where are all the articles about the ACC and the Big 12 since they had #2 seeds get bounced in the first round? I mean the B1G gets 4 teams in the Sweet 16 and damn near 5 if Purdue could have pulled it out and we still have people writing articles bashing it? Michigan State was not good last night and yes part of that was because of Louisville but this is what happens in a one and done tournament. So does this article get written if Wisconsin executes on the last play and wins? Dumb. There is nothing wrong with the B1G.

Yeah, just more bigten bashing. Valid thoughts, but 1 day we go from deepest to most overrated.
 


I wasn't really going for the overrated angle with the article. It was more a statement of how awful Big Ten basketball is to watch on TV.
 




That's an extremely lazy article. All those varied styles he described in the Big East could be applied to B10 teams as well. I watched plenty of brutal Big East games this year, especially their conference tournament.
 


Same thing with the SEC and football. There's one conference that's maybe better than the Big Ten and so they suck. Why aren't there articles about any other conferences? Big 12 is not better than the SEC in football, why no articles about how they don't play defense. ACC is not better than the Big East in basketball why no articles about their style of play?

Its always damn near with purdue but never a mention on the incredible luck it took for the hoosiers to squeak in.
 


The Big10 gets bashed because it has a huge following and poking the hornets' nest will get you a lot of hits on your article or tv show...sometimes it's valid criticism, but it's always about what will drive traffic to the site, channel or other media outlet.
 


Wisky and NW are the only two styles I hate. I'm not sure what Neb and PSU are, but Iowa, Indiana, OSU are hardly what I'd call boring and grind it out types. I think MSU could play either way.
