I give them a pretty good chance, with all New England has to come up with to reconstruct their team. Everybody gets to the breaking point, and I think (the Patriots) are pretty close to that.
I walked away thinking this was not a particularly strong year for the Big Ten. Hey, I've been around this tournament for 21 years and I've seen a lot of good and great Big Ten teams come through. But this did not strike me as an impressive year.
