Who would have guessed Florida International had so many good players.

Why isn't Wisconsin and Notre Dame on this list?  Too many traditionals?

I believe Lazar had two of those the other night. Let's not short sell his contributions to the cause.

But the chart shows Round One minutes.

His minutes would count towards Round Two.

Good catch, I didn't realize that chart was just for round 1.

Seeing that chart by conference confirmed my belief about the Big Ten.  The Big Ten outperforms their talent level.  The ACC, SEC, & PAC-12 are usually loaded with talent but they actually underperform versus their talent levels.

Yes, yes, the ACC has probably been the best conference the past "X" amount of years, but if you look at the talent they have, the schools still underperform.

It would have been more interesting to see the ACC numbers not including Pitt and Cuse as that definitely skewed the ACC data.

OSU and MSU are usually well-stocked in the talent cabinet, and those are the only two on the list. So, I wouldn't draw that parallel

What?!? No Wisconsin?

Devin Harris?
Greg Stiemesma?
Jon Leuer?

Great stuff, and good job for Lazar getting in 5 minutes in the first round for the team I've got to believe is the favorite now after the injuries to the Bulls eliminated them and the injury to Bosh has the HEat in peril.

Not talking about OSU & MSU alone.  If you look further down the list you will see the Big Ten as a conference gets the least amount of minutes among the major conferences.  However the Big Ten has not been the worst of the major conferences year in and year out.

Awesome information. Just curious, what is meant by Adjusted Minutes?

[Otule's Glass Eye]

What?!? No Wisconsin?

Devin Harris?
Greg Stiemesma?
Jon Leuer?

Harris played 1st round with Utah, Stiemsma doesn't play much, and Leuer plays on the Bucks, who are rarely in the playoffs.

Way to be cocky since there is exactly 1 impact MU player. 

[Bocephys]

Way to be cocky since there is exactly 1 impact MU player. 

Which is infinitely more impact players than Wisconsin!

Haha, ok fair enough.
