'Neither Big Ten basketball nor football won titles very often, but basketball gave you more reason to believe. No longer,' writes Doug Lesmerises.
Wisconsin went from Bo Ryan to Greg Gard. Ohio State went from Thad Matta to Chris Holtmann. Minnesota went from Tubby Smith to Richard Pitino. Purdue went from young Matt Painter with upside to older Matt Painter who falls to every NCAA underdog. Archie Miller failed at Indiana and John Groce failed at Illinois. Juwan Howard kept Michigan rolling to the Sweet 16 in his first two opportunities at Michigan before the Wolverines missed the tournament this season.
Meanwhile, in football, Ryan Day has made three of four playoffs at Ohio State, Jim Harbaugh turned around Michigan, Fickell brought a playoff resume to Wisconsin, Mel Tucker dropped a top-10 finish in his second year at Michigan State, P.J. Fleck proved legit at Minnesota, Mike Locksley revitalized Maryland football, James Franklin keeps winning at Penn State, and Matt Rhule at Nebraska and Bret Bielema at Illinois carried long winning resumes to their fresh Big Ten jobs.
This year, five Big Ten players could go in the first round -- Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis from Indiana, Kris Murray of Iowa, Jett Howard from Michigan and Brice Sensabaugh from Ohio State. Indiana won a single tournament game, Iowa lost in the first round and Michigan and Ohio State didn’t even make it.
