Well I think you have to include Ohio State for being heavily connected to Dusty May and then deciding to go with Jake Diebler instead
That's a separate OSU/IU fan support group

Watched the end of Villanova beating Xavier in OT.  Villanova is 21-5?  The Big East is a mess.  I think UConn is good, but that league is so far off what it was, I have a hard time knowing if any of those teams are good.

Even after that win, Villanova is #27 in KenPom, which is actually higher than I would have guessed.

The LA schools are aggressively bad going east.  I think UCLA and USC might lose by a combined 120 points in their 4 games in Michigan

Its weird that only college softball has a mercy rule.  If it just one sport, baseball has arm issues, if its a safety thing. Softball pitchers can pitch forever.  But you are also apt to get pissed off kids doing dangerous things

As Ive said, they might have the widest gap between floor and ceiling of any Big Ten team I can ever recall.  However you pick them to do in the tournament you will be wrong. 

And you better pick them to the Elite 8 or to get upset in the first round, because those are the only outcomes for this team
