The Big Ten's epic collapse in the NCAA men's basketball tournament has been incredible to watch unfold.
Yes, it's a collapse. If you're in the camp trying to explain away the stunning fall, just stop. Think of it this way: If someone would've told you before the tournament that the Big Ten would place only one team, Michigan, in the Sweet 16, you never would've believed it.
The Big Ten Network shoved the notion down our throats that it's the best basketball conference in the nation, and many of us bought it. Don't get me wrong, the Big Ten is a fabulous hoops league.
