After watching most of games this week, it’s pretty evident basketball talent is down throughout the country. The blue bloods Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina are (as a whole) are weak. North Carolina ok. Also, the results have confirmed what I’ve said all this year: this may have been the worst the Big 10 has ever been. Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin….wow….very mediocre at best. Purdue and Illinois have looked good. I think the winner of the ISU-ILINOIS game makes it to the final four. The reason for this post is simple: the basketball, for the most part, has been painful to watch….so I’d rather spend my time on this forum….lol To add to the misery I’ll watch the Hawks tonight and just think: no wonder we got blown out by Purdue and Iowa State. Those teams play solid basketball….duh, like defense. Hmmm…what a novel idea, Fran.
