It has become a March Madness tradition like no other. Year after year college basketball fans are told by the NCAA selection committee how great the Big Ten is. They are regularly one of the conferences with the most teams in the tournament because their resumes are bolstered by beating each other during conference play.

Year after year, they seem to fall short. In 2019, they had the most bids in the tournament, but the 3rd most teams in the Sweet 16. Last year, they had 2 more bids than any conference and 2 top-seeded teams, but had a losing record and put 1 team in the Sweet 16.

That brings us to this year. This year, they have 3 more bids than any other conference, but their best case scenario right now is to get 2 teams into the Sweet 16.

The Big Ten might not have even hit rock bottom yet. If Purdue loses, to Texas tonight, the conference will make history.

It is yet another truly disappointing showing from the conference at the time of year where it really matters and fans are crushing them for it.
