This board has always bashed Big Ten basketball. Part of that is just being Big 12 homers. I think the football criticism is usually pretty valid, but I always say the basketball rarely is. Teams like Wisconsin and Michigan are much better than their seeds if you actually watch them play. Well coached, several seniors. Both teams have very good senior PGs, a talented senior swingman (Irvin/Hayes) and a very good big man (Wagner/Happ). I'm not the least bit surprised either made it this far.
