The Big Ten was “overrated” because its game had developed to fit its talent inconference, IMO - elite, old school big men ruled the day, and rosters were constructed to compliment that. With the departure of Kofi, Garza and others and the guards that flanked them, along with an influx of new transfers and young talent, I think you’ll see the Big Ten’s style of play adapt, as well. Maybe what looks worse on paper is actually better suited for inter-conference play! Heck, no one thought the ACC was “good” this year, and look what they did.
P.S. The Big Ten was only really overrated in 2020-21 … we had zero teams seeded above a 3, and we accordingly had zero teams in the Elite Eight. People simply kept clinging to the previous year’s narrative, but we honestly were not RATED that highly, lol.
