The last couple years it has been popular

McDonough says the timing is right to hold the NHL All-Star Game in Chicago. Agreed. Hey, it's Super Bowl week! Here's a little on the big game with an interesting point about the second possession of the game. The Big Ten is overrated in basketball so says The Big Lead. More on this later. There was some ugly behavior at the end of the Michigan-Michigan State hockey game Saturday night. More video with UM's student section reaction about one minute in.

... Things have changed in the Big 10. This year the Big 10 could possibly place 6 or even 7 teams into the Tournamnet of 64. However, there continues to be som naysayers out there.

... six teams into the NCAA Tournament and watch more than three of them get to the second round! Just keep in mind that there are upsets in the original field of 64. I would be willing to bet not every Big-10 team that makes it in will advance to the second round. What conference will advance 100% of its’ entered teams? Please leave feedback and let me know what your opinion on this matter is.
