2012-2013 College Basketball

Big Boys?

Trivia time:

How many NCAA Championships in the past 20 years for the Big 10? (Hint: less than 2, more than 0)

How many NCAA championships in the past 20 years for the SEC?

Ole Miss has as many NCAA basketball championships as IU does in the past 30 years. We'll take your scrubs any day.

Ole Miss has as many championships as IU in the last 20 years, not 30 years. IU won one in 1987. But yes you are right, between UK and UF, the SEC has definitely has brought home its fair share of NCAA Championships.

Oh sorry, 25 years. Pretty long time.

I corrected your post up there; Arkansas went to back to back title games in 94-95; won in 94. Nolan Richardson deemed it 40 Minutes of Hell.

Here's the conference breakdown of titles for past 20 years

ACC- 8
SEC- 6
Big East- 3
Pac 10 (12)- 2
Big 10 AKA the Big Boys AKA Overrated in Everything- 1

Whenever you Big 10 homers stop jerking each other off, you should check out this article on Ole Miss junior Marshall Henderson who leads the SEC in scoring for the 14-2 Rebels

Oh, you mean like you SEC homers did to each other in the NCAA football thread?   

Sorry your SEC sucks in hoops this year and nobody wants to talk about them Tracy. 

Nice win last night that took a 35 foot prayer to get to OT over a team that lost by 17 to freaking Marist.  Who the hell is Marist anyways?  Oh, they're 4-13 btw.  Yeah, Miss St is totally legit... 

Also nice games for Ole Miss against Middle Tennessee and Indiana St. too.  Did Bird come back for that Indiana St game?

Awww yeah, now this thread is heating up nicely!

Your numbers were a little off Tracy.   It's actually:

ACC - 6
SEC - 6
Big East - 4
Pac 10 - 2
Big 12 - 1
Big 10 - 1

Well, at least us SEC homers have the best conference in the nation, in just about everything, except hockey.

The SEC has more titles in the big 3 sports in the past 20 years compared to everyone, especially the Big 10. Do you want to talk about SEC winning baseball championships next?

Here's the break down of National Championships for the Big 10 in the 3 major sports over the past 20 years (and we'll stick with the 14 year hx of the BCS in football).

Football-1
Basketball-1
Baseball-0

and the SEC:

Football- 9
Baseball-7
Basketball-6

Our weakest sport is basketball and we win more than you 6-1! 

I am a homer all day with those digits!

Absolutely no reason to say those 2 conferences in the same breath.   

I was simply responding to the "big boys" comment. If the Big 10 are the  "big boys" then they sure don't win a lot of championships there. In anything.

Big boys

I went to one of dem smarter schools that came over from the Big 12.   

I decided I'll keep the Ole Miss avatar until they lose again.

Unless my math is off, Michigan winning the 1997 NC would count for 2 football championships in 20 years...

BCS Title game started in 1999 (98 season) when Tennessee beat Florida St.

FYI,
I have a lovely, large-breasted redhead who takes care of me in her boudoir - so leave me out of your homoerotic fantasies  (not that there's anything wrong with that, if that works for you).
Save it for when Shane Ryan and you are circle jerkin', with the aid of some of Calliparis' hair gel, to a M Henderson video while Ryans' sqeallin' like a pig and telling you "you got a pretty mouth".

That was so close to working! So close! But by simply re-framing my reference to "jerking each other off" in your response with a "circle jerkin'", your ability to come back strong with original content suffered mightily, thus, alas, I give you a C-. The idea is all original content; once you get repetitive to the former post, you enter into the world of borrowing and it loses its steam.

Try again?

C-? A little harsh maybe,especially by SEC academic standards.
I'll stay w/ it, and take the average grade of anyone that cares to chime in (but who cares?).

Last time I checked, they didn't start awarding National Championships in 1999 with the advent of the BcS...

It started the "undisputed" era. Many times before then you would get split national champions, like Michigan and Nebraska in 1997, but the BCS was created to solve that.

If you really want the Michigan "title" in 97 fine; Let's go back an entire 20 years and the Big 10 has 1.5 titles compared to the SEC's 11.

You can't possibly have a point.

Any MD fans here?
Sweet victory tonight!!!!
NC State beats #1 Duke, MD beats, NC State a few days later, MD not ranked, really?!?!?!

[YimYodd]

ON, WISCONSIN....OUCH!
11 straight Ws v. IU, nobody's done that to Hoosiers in 90 years.
Bo owns Crean, 15-3 in career . Def an underrated coach - 11 straight NCAAs & highest winning % of any B1G coach in history! Nice game plan w/ controlling the pace and spacing to alleviate the full court pressure D.
Bruesewitz, like OSUs' Craft, will do anything the refs will let him get away with. I hate that guy! -but would luv to have him on my side.
Difference ended up being bench scoring, 16 - 2 with 4-5 3pointers.
IU doesn't go to Madison this year, but I'd like to see them get a shot  in post-season to keep streak from reaching 12 - only team to ever do that was PURDOUCHE back when they were still taking the ball out of a peachbasket!

[YimYodd]

Interesting and hopefully entertaining game tonite in Ann Arbor - will UM bounce back?
Minny has edge in experience, UM playing @ Crysler.
Williams v. the talented but inexperienced Robinson?
Mbwake v. Morgan/inexperienced McGary?
Burke v. Hollins - Both should 'get theirs' but will 1 be dominant?
Will Coleman or the Canuck step up?
Coach B v. Tubby?
Will Hardaway 'show up'?
Either way, one team slips ahead of IU in conference play  one slides behind.
Let's get it on.

Crap! I see game is actually @ the Barn(posted that coupla days ago) sorry,.....post-work 420 session .
Same questions remain to be answered.

Terrapin alum here.  we needed that win in a bad way...but i was about ready to throw the remote thru the TV when P'Shon took that last shot.  he is straight garbage. 

if MD didn't have the epic failure of a second half vs. FSU last week (not to mention the shit show @ Miami), we'd be ranked for sure. 

i hope Len stays another year.  he and Wells and this years crop of freshmen will be something to see in 2014 after a year playing together.

When do they join the B1G? Haven't followed them over the last few years.
Of course, I cussed them after they beat IU for title, but that was a solid, well-coached  team.
One of my favorite players as a kid in the 70s was Len Elmore - still a favorite in the broadcast booth.
Len Bias, RIP, was awsome!

one more season in the ACC then Big 10 in 2014-15.  i'm still undecided how i feel about the move.
as much as i love Gary Williams, it's criminal that he couldn't recruit after the National Championship. 
i got lucky to see Walt Williams play my freshman year.  other than that, Joe Smith was The Man for a short time until he went to the NBA.  and i got to see many an ACC stud play (Tim Duncan, Laetner and G Hill...many more that i'm forgetting i'm sure)
