what standard? are you bothered that Michigan didnt win more nonconference games? what was supposed to happen that didnt happen?

lets review...

illinois is a choke program thats had 2 good seasons in my lifetime tho. this wasnt the third.

>Iowa , a 5 seed , bounced by an 11 seed

>11 seed.

i could see why that might be disappointing to them, but they overachieved all season anyways and iowa state is probably just the better team. wisconsin wasnt talented enough to expect more than what they got out of their season.

>MSU just got bounced

a mid program thats been out of the second round once since 2015 got beat by Duke. and?

>And OSU was bounced.

so the only two teams with both elite coaching and elite talent? the Big 10 had 2 final four contenders in October, and they still have the same 2 now. how many are they supposed to have?

and btw how did Purdue play like crap? lol

they won 28 games and beat UNC and Nova on a neutral floor. when Michigan beat them a few weeks ago they were #3. they have consistently been in the top 10 for months.
