The Big Ten was getting TALL props for showing up to the big dance with a car full of boyz. They pulled up in Indianapolis with Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, Rutgers and Wisconsin looking to get into something.
In the first 48 hours three of them have been popped! No.11 Michigan State went down to UCLA on Thursday. Then on Friday No.2 Ohio State got blindsided by No.15 Oral Roberts. No.4 Purdue sees a boy get ran up on and does nothing to avoid getting fired on and knocked out by No. 13 North Texas.
Everybody and they’re baby’s momma was talking a $100 worth of noise about the Big Ten coming in with fireworks and they’ve had three duds already with two in the top 4 seeds.
Don’t get it twisted No.1 Illinois showed up with all of the smoke against No.16 Drexel like they were supposed to. No.10 Rutgers even beat No.7 Clemson!!!! Nobody even wanted Rutgers in the ride. Big Momma just told them they had to take them because everybody else was going. They showed up to the fight and landed solid punches while running out of the joint.
No.9 Wisconsin climbed out of the ride and got loose on No.8 North Carolina!!! I’m talkin’ beat the brakes off of them too 85-62. They left no questions.
So now No.1 Michigan has to do what they’re supposed to do to No.16 Texas Southern today. My parents alma mater is TSU so I hope Juwan Howard and Co. are at least gentle with them in a blowout though. No.10 Maryland faces No.7 Connecticut. They could win that but it’s going to take focus and grit to come out of it alive.
We wouldn’t even be trippin’ off of Big Ten teams losing early if it were the lower seeds. However, when the No.2 and No.4 go down on the freakin’ porch it’s a problem. Now we’re looking for cats like Maryland and Rutgers to represent when they weren’t even supposed to be in the ride in the first place. C’mon bruh!!!!
Now Illinois and Michigan has all of the pressure of holding everybody down on the first darn weekend. Can I have a cigarette and call my momma because it’s not going to end well. Stop me when I start lyin’!
