Do Any Big 10 Teams make the Great 8?

[FinnGopher]

With the B1G being down this year, how many teams from the B1G will make it to the Great Eight?

I don't think the Big Ten is very good. We got 6 teams in on street cred. Purdue is supposed to win it all according to many. Typically, they seem to get beat.
Illinois seems to have some grit.
Wisconsin has a system but isn't very good.
Nebraska is happy to be in.
Michigan State has Izzo's tradition but they have been very disappointing all year.
Northwestern is happy to be in as well.
I voted for 0 ... hard to see many more than one or two...Purdue and Illinois.

Otherwise known as the Elite Eight?

They say the Big Ten is down every year. In FB and BB.

It's just that the exact same BB teams are able to dominate every year in the other conferences...so they always get the #1 & #2 seeds and the easy path. While the Big Ten has to fight through from lower seedings.

I'm not saying the Big Ten is the best. But the other conferences do get the same teams dominating every year.

I think Illinois has a great chance. They have size; length, experience, depth, and multiple scorers.

Like I’ve stated before, Dainja is there X factor. When he is playing well they have everything and an inside physical presence.
