SEC called out by SI?

Good stuff and nice ammo for the little 10 crowd.

Michael Rosenberg, SI.com: “SEC football fans, you have almost met your match. Big Ten folks insist they have the best basketball league. The evidence and eyewitness testimony support them. But there is an awkward truth here, one that you should not bring up at Big Ten dinner parties, where the bratwurst is served with a side of sausage: The Big Ten has not won a title since Izzo and Mateen Cleaves cut down the nets in 2000. That's 13 years, for those of you who don't know how to tell time. Since 2000, the ACC has won five. The Big East has won three. The SEC has won three. The Big 12 won one. This is not really a reflection of the conferences' relative strength. Of the five ACC championships, North Carolina and Duke won two each. That stat says more about UNC and Duke than the rest of the ACC. The Big Ten does not have a program that can stand toe-to-toe, year after year, with Carolina and Duke. But the Big Ten is as deep as any league. Since 1999, Michigan State has made six Final Fours, Ohio State has made three, Illinois made one, Wisconsin made one and Indiana made one. So . . . that's nice. You can make a strong argument that the Big Ten is actually the best league, but I wouldn't make that argument to Mike Krzyzewski. He'll just yawn and show you his championship rings. So there is quite a bit of pressure on the Big Ten to finally win a national title.”
