Epic Choke Job by the B14
« on: March 30, 2021, 11:08:20 PM »
How in the world did Michigan lose that E8 game??  This will go down as the most embarrassing performance by a conference, after all their hype, in NCAA tourney history.  The streak is still alive!!  21 yrs and counting?

Yeah, but Kenpom says they’re the best, so I don’t know why they even had to play any games.

Just all media hype. They seemed to be just average against other P6 conferences in the very few non-conference games played this year. I didn’t buy the hype and not surprised they all lost early.

I don't want to hear the Livers excuse either.  This was a stunning example of gaggery.  UCLA had two long stretches in the game where they literally couldn't score.  49 points??  Absolutely incredible.

Sure, make fun of the Big 10 all you want if it makes you feel better about how mediocre Marquette was this past season.

Remember when the talking heads were debating if 4 B10 teams could make the FF?  hah.

(but I did think the B10 would do better)

No one disagrees that we had a brutal year.  The hype of the B14 this year is reason enough to slam them.

With me, it has no relation or bearing on Marquette’s season or current standing.

It has everything to do with the STODGINESS of that conference.

While they don’t quite exhibit the patrician attitudes of ACC devotees, make no mistake, Big 10/14 fans and alums will tell you their conference is not only superior to yours but unmatched in tradition. Their campuses are mostly in the middle of nowhere, contrasted with the vibrant cities of the BigEast. Their generally plodding style of play fits with their mostly drab rural locations, apologies to the somewhat more urban-feel exceptions at the U of Michigan (Detroit proximity), Northwestern (Chicago proximity), and UW-Madison. The BigEast should be running recruiting circles around these ancient, rural land-grant yawners. 

Will root for them to lose every year, every day of the week. I root for them only when they face ND in any sport or play against a corrupt SEC football titan.

While I will always be a Big 10-14 fan, this year was really a strange year for college bb. Always will favor BEast.

Minnesota is the most urban campus of all of them.  Madison is just another city surrounded by cornfields.

Maryland is also in DC metro, but it is a fake B10 school.

So much for all the so-called statistical nonsence.

Do the ranking metadata algorithm nerds include a "choke" factor or luck in their analysis? 
Of course not.

Much rather watch the game than read or hear meaningless numbers parading as science.
The immeasurable, unmanageable and intangeable decements are far more influential than the numbers based on numbers which are simply low hanging fruit.

The top three KenPom teams made the final four.  UCLA is ranked #15 and beat the #4 team by two points.

Statistically it played out pretty accurately.

The conference has been overrated from the start. Even with the addition of Joey Hauser!!

It was a league with a few good players and no great players. Franz Wagner - an end of the bench guy in the NBA, at most - is probably the highest drafted guy from the league this year.

I’m no fan of the Big 14 but the idea it was overrated because of what happened in March is laughable.  The 2011 Big East was a monster and only put 2 teams into the Sweet 16 out of 11 teams with a 1-seed and 2-seed losing in the second round, a 4-seed losing in the opening round along 2 6-seeds losing in the 1st round.

UConn helped the league “save face” by winning it all but even if they hadn’t, it still was a great league.
