Vegas Cannot Set A Low Enough Number For Big 10

really hard to stay awake watching this confernce play offense..big 10 backers say its the defense i say its lack of talent as wee see when the big 10 plays in the acc challenge..can you imagine if there was no shot clock in the big 10..scores would peak in the 20's...

No shot clock = 1 shot in both the first and second halves.....not a good comparison

While the ACC has dominated the challenge every year, this year it was only 6 games to 5. The Big Ten average 68 points per game in those games, significantly higher than their overall conference points per game average. The Big Ten has some mediocre teams, but also has a lot of teams that focus on the defensive end of the floor first. Michigan State, Wisconsin, Purdue and a few others play great defense. It is not a lack of talent, it is the style of play.

I can't stand Bo Ryan and Wisconsin, but 10 straight tournament appearances with one final four, 1 elite eight, and 4 sweet sixteen appearances including last year is a record that a lot of teams would be happy with over the last ten years.
