Big Ten Men's Tournament

Not that it matters but barring a couple of plane crashes, there is no way in hell IU has the same chance as Iowa and a better chance than PSU.
Penn St listed dead-last at 75/1 is the oddity. Personally, I'd give PSU better odds than Iowa, IU, Michigan, and probably Northwestern and Minnesota too.

It might be cliche, but Penn State is easily the best 11-19 team in the country. :tongue2:

Big Ten Tournament Preview: Don't sleep on Wisconsin
Mike DeCourcy
Wednesday, Mar. 10, 2010

Reason to watch: The best reason is you'll only get so many more opportunities to see this season's greatest college player. At most, it's nine more, and only the most magical of circumstances will allow Evan Turner and the Ohio State Buckeyes to last that long in this tournament and the one that follows. Turner's special season is definitely unprecedented in the sense no player has ever been named Player of the Year after missing six games ? in Turner's case, because of a broken back. And it's likely no player has won it after undergoing such a major position switch ? in Turner's case, from power forward to point guard.

Who's hot: Wisconsin. Since big man Jon Leuer returned from a broken wrist ? and got through a tough one-game adjustment in a loss to Minnesota ? the Badgers have won four in a row and Leuer has averaged 15.5 points. Some are starting to talk about Wisconsin as a sleeper Final Four pick. Given their victories over Duke, Ohio State and a full-strength Purdue, that would not be out of the question if the Badgers get an advantageous draw.

Yeah, but would they be the best 13-17 team? For the most part, not even close. That's how I would look at any "best x-y team".

I won't remotely argue the strength, organization and leadership of the Big Ten administrators versus the Big East's b/c it's obvious, but one thing I appreciate is the fact that Conseco Fieldhouse removes the NBA three-point line on the floor for the Big Ten Tournament (unlike the Garden).
