In response to "The Big 10 is deep but they're not that good. Maryland is a good team but after them it's just okay teams. They'll get a bunch of teams into" by Krusty

Depending on the seeds, I expect 2 teams to be in the 2-3 line (MD/PSU), and then 2-3 in the 4-6 range; and then 5-6 in the 8-12 range.

It's reasonable for me to think they get 7-9 teams through to the Round of 32.

There are very few strong teams this year outside of Kansas and Baylor. Duke has been shaky the last few weeks and Dayton / SDSU are untested.

ESPN's latest mock has 10 Big Ten teams in (Indiana is a last 4 in) and 9 of the 10 are seeded in the 8 or better so they'd be expected to go 9-1 first round.

It could be an epic flameout, but in a season where multiple Big Ten teams have gone Top 5 and then come back down; there's far more there than not; at least relative to any other conference as a whole.

That all makes sense and I can see them getting most of those teams in. It's such a weak year around the league that it's possible they get 8-9 in. - Krusty Feb 23, 06:44 2
- 10 is the lowest # in I've seen in weeks. If Purdue gets hot (again), they could get 11. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 06:46 1
  - They have 12 in the top 40 so I can see 10 getting in. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 07:10
