Honestly, I don't care enough about conference performance to get into a long debate about it and I agree with you that historically B1G underperforms on the biggest stages.

If B1G Gets Any Team in Final Four, It Will be Thumbs Up

Been a long time since that's happened and breaking the seal helps so much.

I think match-ups have a lot to do with how you progress in a tournament so I look at those quite a bit, as well as who is rounding into form. Based on that, Va. Tech and Ohio State are playing really well. That should be some game.

They did, but lost to a 9 seed in that round. If it had been

1 seed Indiana they would have met expectations, but my comment was that they lost to a worse seed, which was true. If LSU also loses tomorrow to Miami I would claim the same thing, but I don't think that will happen as the SEC was more of a test than it was rated and seeded. I wasn't surprised Miami beat Nova, but I think LSU will handle Miami. Hope not as I want Katie Meier in the Final 4 a lot more than Kim again and her crazy outfits.

The reason I care about the conferences in the women's game is because a good conference prepares the teams to compete. The ACC certainly did that for their teams this year and only injuries slowed down teams success in the tourney (ND, NC State, & FSU). I expected the PAC12 to do better like previous years but it didn't pan out. Big East & Big 12 were overrated and I think their tournament performance proved it. SEC also overperformed so far but the next 2 days matter. And the Big 10 needs to show this year they belong or else I'd consider them overrated as well.
