[NU Sports] Big Ten hoops ...

> Well, Digger hopefully will shut his trap on the Big Ten being unable to compete with the big leagues.

Digger has NEVER been known to shut his trap, not when he was coaching
and certainly not as an 'expert commentator', since he's now being paid
to yap on and on and sound like he knows what he's talking about.  (Of 
course, that's the risk all sports announcers face, the more they talk 
the more likely they are to say something truly stupid.)  
 
> 2-1 vs. the Big East in the tourney
> 2-0 vs. the ACC (of course, it looks like they'll need a miracle to go 3-0 against the Heels)
> 
> Still, 3 different Big Ten teams in the national championship game in 5 years is pretty darn impressive (4 different schools in the last 8 years). The other leagues may be great at the top, but no one has the depth of the Big Ten.

All of which makes the continued mediocrity of NU hoops (and that's being
polite) more than frustrating.  I'm not convinced changing coaches is
the solution at this point in time, though.
