New Expanded BiG basketball

[Gander Hawk]

With Peyton staying and the new arrivals from the portal, along with Koch, the Hawks looks pretty salty. The new additions from the west may have a bigger impact on basketball, both genders, than they're having on football though.
Will the addition of teams like UCLA and Oregon will making the tourney be a bigger challenge?

Other than having to fly to the west coast once a year for 2 games, and having to compete with 4 more teams for the title, it won't change much for the 14 teams in the east/central time zone.

The Big Ten tourney will still be played in a midwest location for now, and will now have 15 teams. So you used to have a 14 out of 14 chance to make the Big Ten tourney. Now you have a 15 out of 18 chance.
