Also, How about that "weak" Big Ten this year?
What's more important though, post season success or regular season success? Overall the Big 10 kind of sucked this year, yeah Wisconsin was always good, and Michigan State is doing Izzo things in March, but really it was a down year. I don't always think that post season success should be the only barometer for a conference strength. I mean wasn't it a couple years ago when the Big 10 was considered the #1 conference when Indiana was really good and in that tournament the Big 10 didn't do so well, but I don't think you can say that the conference wasn't good.
I mean Wisconsin and Michigan State were the only 2 Big 10 teams to even make the sweet 16. So while it is impressive to have 2 Big 10 teams in the Final 4, I don't think that speaks to the strength of the Big 10.
