The Big Ten is rocking the Final Four.

It NEVER gets OLD! I love the Final Four! It's good to be there again, especially this year!

a great year all round! ... WE R B1G

Really happy to see 2 B1G teams in the final four

It's so much fun watching the posters on the main board struggle with their attempts to congratulate the conference. I mean they are really struggling.

2015. Year of The Big Ten.

Izzo really has MSU firing on all cylinders. Only ND beating Kentucky could have made this final 4 better. Would have made it the Spring equivalent of the Big 10/ACC challenge!

I truly dont understand the hate we get from the ACC crowd, I love and respect the rivalry in basketball between the two conferences.

Little brother. It's not truly hatred. They would love to have as much history with their conference as The Big Ten has. They would love to have as much power with the ACC as The Big Ten has. They would love to have the first ever College Football Playoff Champion in the ACC. They would love to have two teams in the Final Four.

They have a lot of love for us, they just have issues with learning how to express it.

Congrats to Wisky & MSU. Both programs represent the BIG very well.

Well we couldn't get it done, but this has been a great season for Sparty and I'm happy anyway! Now that B1G is in both Football and Basketball National Championship games-- onward Wisconsin!

MSU probably had the toughest road to the Final Four. A decent Georgia team, 2 seed Virginia, 3 seed Oklahoma, 4 seed Louisville. That'd wear the hell out of any team, specially one facing a school like Duke in the F4.

Hilarious how the Dukies (davis) on the CBS broadcast thump their chests in saying that the ACC is the best hoops conference this year. If that were true they'd have more than 1 representative in the Final 4. Notre Dame, Louisville & Syracuse saved that conference from mediocrity

Yep, Tom Izzo did a terrific job getting his team to the final 4 and knocking off the teams MSU did to reach Indianapolis

It would have not been the same but ND in the final 4 would have been one of the few programs that would have generated even more excitement (at least in Indiana & Metro Chicago) than Kentucky. With 2 Big 10 & 2 ACC programs representing it would have been the spring equivalent of the ACC/Big 10 Challenge.

I woke up Easter morning still being a proud Spartan. Our 7th seed Spartans lost to Duke in the Final Four. It is hard to complain about that. Izzo is truly amazing and will continue to be an asset for MSU and the BIG until the day he retires.

I am extremely proud of Wisconsin beating Kentucky. I have heard ad nauseum from SEC fans all season long about how UK was just going to step on the court during the NCAA tournament and all teams would immediately bow down to them. Congrats Wisky! Please take care of business with the Blue Devils.

Let's also root on the Maryland Terrapin women's team that is representing the Big 10 in the Women's Final 4 tonight vs UConn. What a huge win that would be for the Terrapins program.

Kentucky is a better team than Duke. They have more McDonald's All Americans. They have much more depth than Duke. Duke is only suiting up 8 players. The depth of Kentucky didn't phase Wisky, so I don't see how Duke can keep up. Wisky is deeper than anyone gives them credit for and that is dangerous.

Wisconsin is absolutely the favorite in this ball game for anyone that is looking at this rationally instead of looking in shallow fashion at the brand names of the two programs.

Wisky had a 10 pt lead halfway thru the 2nd half and let those pretty btards back in. Screw Duke and their rat faced coach.

Screw those refs.
