And other Forum friends who have corrected my errors.Six B1G teams in the Sweet 16 is a conference record. We will see one of Iowa or Nebraska in the Elite 8, matching up with Houston, not on the Cougars' usual home court, but just minutes away from campus.As friend H has noted, many of the Blue Blood basketball programs are not in this Sweet 16.

Basketball power Indiana has become Tom Osborne's Nebraska football, and Nebraska has become Bob Knight's Indiana basketball. Like Curt Cignetti at Indiana, Nebraska basketball coach Fred Hoiberg used transfers to build the program, starting before the portal came into existence.Fred's son Sam, who played high school basketball in Lincoln, Nebraska, did not receive a D1 offer and walked on to play for his Dad. Sam is now a Senior and an effective starter at point guard.Nebraska is a slight -1.5 favorite over Iowa. The two teams split during the regular season, with both teams winning close games at home.

Oregon not joining the Big Ten would have been gross financial negligence.

15 hours ago15 hr Author Moderator No. Second-seed Purdue comes through with a 79 to 77 win over perhaps the best 11 seed in tournament history, Texas.Next up on Saturday will be a game against the winner of tonight's No. 1Arizona against No. 4 Arkansas game. Calipari wasn't certain whether Portland is in the USA, but he did find his way to San Jose.Speaking of Texas, 9 seed Iowa overcomes a ten-point deficit and wins the rubber match, defeating No. 4 Nebraska 77 to 71 in Houston.Iowa is the lowest-seeded Big Ten team to reach the Elite 8. Iowa coach Ben McCollum wins in the postseason; Google him. 😁ESPN.comIowa defeats Nebraska, continues improbable March run int...Ninth-seeded Iowa continued its unpredictable NCAA tournament run under first-year coach Ben McCollum, beating Nebraska 77-71 in a South Region semifinal.If Illinois can defeat Houston in Houston tonight, then on Saturday, we'll see a B1G on B1G Elite 8 match-up.So far, two B1G teams are in the Elite 8, and here's to hoping for one more tonight, the Fighting Illini, and two more tomorrow night when the Wolverines play Bama and Michigan State battles UConn. 🤑

12 hours ago12 hr Author Moderator No. Hats off to the 3-seed Fighting Illini that took down the No. 2 seed Houston Cougars in Houston, 65-55, to be the 3rd B1G team to advance to the Elite 8.For the 2nd time in the tournament, it will be B1G on B1G Saturday when the 3-seed Illinois meets the 9-seed Iowa for a trip to the Final 4 in Indianapolis. There will be many fans disguised as empty seats.Purdue on Saturday will have its hands full out West, with an Elite 8 game against an Arizona team that butchered the Arkansas Hogs 109-88. No calamari for you, Calipari. And sorry, B12 commish Brett Yormack, but your awesome B-Ball conference has dribbled its way to two teams left. However, Arizona, the last Pac-12 legacy school standing, could win it all. Calipari can probably find the way back to Arkansas, but will there be anyone to welcome him home?https://www.citizentribune.com/sports/national/top-seeded-arizona-beats-arkansas-109-88-to-reach-the-elite-eight-for-the-1st/article_af267c70-aced-56ae-9695-f8b9c553ccba.htmlA B1G team was certain to win one Sweet 16 game today, but three Big Ten teams getting ahead of the 8 Ball is as B1G and as good as it can be. 😍
