So if my math is right, in the first round of the tournament, the B1G had 8 of 64 teams = 12.5% In the second round, it was 7 of 32 = 21.875%. For the sweet sixteen, it was 6 of 16 = 37.5% For the elite eight, it will be 4 of 8 = 50%. That’s a pretty good trend! B1G and ACC will each have a minimum of 1 in the final four, with Louisville facing Georgia Tech and Wisconsin facing Minnesota. B1G could also get Purdue and Nebraska/Illinois in to get the percentage up to 75%. Impressive! I did not check your math, but would add a minimum of one and up to three in the FF. |

Both Purdue and Minnesota were on the ropes on Thursday hoping to reach the Elite 8.
Purdue was down 10-14 in the 5th set.
Minnesota was down 2-6 in the 5th set.
I believe it is a tribute to the B1G that the conference schedule is a crucible that forges battle-tested teams that have the kind of five set experience wherein the student athletes know that they have each other's backs in crunch time and believe that they can prevail under the most trying of circumstances.
I am proud to live in a B1G town, and get to root in person for a LOT of exciting high level volleyball that is not always played by my Gophers.
I have watched some amazing performances: J. Moore, J. Orzol, H. Bush, NEB's Caffrey, the Hord-Holland middle, Londot down the line, NW's TTA and steady doses of Samedy, Miyabe, Wenaas, CC McGraw just flat out outperforming.
I'm sure you all have your favorites: 1:02'43" is mine
a Miyabe dive to bring up a Stanford tip, the Wenaas bump set to the only spot on the court anyone could attack ..and Samedy

Please give me Wisconsin vs Nebraska.. Would be a great match, personally I want DBK vs Cook for the ring. If it’s Nebraska vs Wisconsin I have Nebraska. Louisville vs Nebraska is a classic in the making but I think I still have Nebraska |

If this play doesn't put Lexi Rodriguez in contention for Freshman of the year I don't know what will.

I love Orzol, but I think Rodriguez should have been DPOY and and FOY in the league (and I love Barnes, and Murr is so darned good), with neither caring since they are still playing!

One of the Statesman’s reporters told me he did not think Rodriquez was anything special, Texas just played bad? 👀Huh? Bizarre. . . 🏐 |

Just came to do a quick brag!
Remember when people with teams in other conferences were saying that the B1Gs wasn't as tough as previous years? (I don't think I'm making that up)
Well, we're seeing what happens when we have a closer to normal season!
Yes I'm biased but the B1G TEN is the toughest conference hands down.
There are no nights off for anybody and the grueling conference schedule prepares those who survive for the tourney.
I'm very proud of how the teams that made it represented the conference, and to have two of our best in the Final Four!
That said, I would love to see history made and a female coach win the Natty for the first time.
