The Last Two B1G Teams to Win an NCAA Championship

Submitted by BursleyHall82 on April 6th, 2015 at 11:30 PM

Really wanted Duke to lose, but history remains unchanged: The last two B1G schools to win an NCAA basketball championship are Michigan State and Michigan.

And the last two B1G schools to win an NCAA football championship are Ohio State and Michigan.

I meant the fans. Should have been more clear.

Actually, I'd happily take either basketball or football. They are pretty much equal to me.

But yes, laughing at OSU when they are the reigning football champs is kind of stupid.

Personally, I'd take a MBB championship since I haven't been alive long enough to have seen it happen. Plus it's just so damn hard to win a 68 team tournament.

I'm pretty sure, at the end of the day, the success of their basketball team pales (and when I say pales, I mean really pales) by comparison to what their football team does. Football rules all in Columbus, and that team just stomped its way to a national title a few months ago.

Basketball is just something nice for them to pass the time with until football shows back up. Not to say there aren't people there who truly care about OSU basketball, but they don't really give a shit that their team hasn't won it all in nearly 60 years. Football is all that truly matters to them.

Good call.
You know Ohio State and Michigan have the same amount of national titles, with OSU having been to four (well, technically five) more Final Fours, right?
OSU's only basketball title still came 12 years after 10/11ths of your football titles. But glass houses.

You Buckeyes, always cutting off history as if it doesn't matter at the exact point in time that it makes you look better. Precious.

Yup. That is what they do best. I am not one to brag about accomplishments from decades ago, but the wins are still there. Sparty fans are starting to do the same thing. Of course to them, college football started in 2008 and we have only defeated them once in the history of the sport.

He made fun of OSU's basketball title being a long time ago. You know, like all but one of your football titles. Quite frankly, it's stupid to discredit titles simply because they're in the past. That's how time works. Everything is in the past.

We won the ACC-Big Ten Challenge!

edit: This was supposed to be a reply to Carlos.

Anyway, Duke obliterated them for the last ten minutes of that game. I'm trying to remember how Wisconsin ever had a lead.

What ever happened to parity in college sports? The same group of teams win the actual championship every year in college football and basketball.

As opposed to the old days when UCLA won 10 titles in 12 years?

The Big Ten has had six different schools lose in the title game since 2002.

...that Duke benefitted from more rest? They played in a blowout early game while Wisconsin had to battle Kentucky in the late game.

Wiscy definitly faded in the last 5 mins. That KY win took a lot out of them as you would expect.

At least we don't have the SEC braying about how "they" won the NC in basketball to cover up for their shortfall in football. They have not won shit that matters to them for 2 years.
