And then the fact that you are saying to me that Maryland should be in the NCAA tournament even with a 7-9 confrence record. Ok well that is your opinion. But then again you are from Maryland. You say you are a Big Ten guy. But you are from Maryland and you argue for Maryland????

Moved to Maryland - my first step into ACC country after 30 years in Big Ten country - and boy, I still miss real football. But this ain't football we are talking.
From Maryland, NO! Yes I live in Maryland. Yes, I am a basketball fan - I grew up in what I consider to be the heartland of basketball. You haven't seen HS ball til you have seen it in central Illinois, if you ask me. NC and IN residents results may vary
Am I completely unbiased - no, I never claimed to be. But I side with any Big Ten team (including ohowihateohiostate)over any ACC team any day, exception of UMD, who I will take over anybody except my beloved alma mater. I take Michigan over anybody, anywhere, any time, including UMD.
I also have two functioning eyes and a TV that picks up ESPN - you don't have to watch much ball to see the difference this year. I would say that they are night and day, but that understates it because dawn and dusk are times where the night-day distinctions may get blurred - this never happens when comparing the Big Ten to the ACC this year!
