Rose has been their coach the entire time and he may well be the greatest ever
Come on out and watch the fun

In a word, yes, sadly. Four out of last five NC. Two of top 4 seeds in NCAA tournament. 4 out of final 8 teams.
The depth of the Big 10 has been better than the depth of the Pac-12 behind Stanford in recent years. To wit, it has been 5 years since a non-Stanford team has made a Final 4 (UW).

If we are fortunate enough to beat PSU tonight to make Final 4, Nebraska fan support in Minn. today a preview of the potentially daunting matchup.

While it went 3-0, Oregon was certainly in the first 2 sets. (22, 23, 17 pts)
My understanding was the winner of Stanford/Penn State will play the winner of Texas/BYU. The other semi is Illinois vs Nebraska.
(My preference would be Stanford vs BYU.)
