Show notes

As spring football heats up across the Big Ten, the conference's best teams look to replace some of the best talent in the country that is headed off to the NFL. While each Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State have positions of need, a recent article sharing the biggest position battles at the country's top teams didn't worry host Nate Dickinson. Instead, Nate says the Big Ten should be confident in having three national contenders if the spots of weakness listed are all the powerhouse schools need to worry about. Nate looks at those battles and Michigan State's loss in the NCAA Tournament to end the Big Ten season on today's Locked On Big 10. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network.

NCAA Tournament Failures Don't Define the Big Ten's Success Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

With the conference advancing just one of eight teams to the Sweet 16, plenty of "experts" now say the Big Ten has taken a step back in college basketball competitiveness. On today's Locked On Big 10, Nate Dickinson refutes the idea that March success is the only way to measure conference success and also previews the Sweet Sixteen matchup between Michigan State and Kansas State.

Penn State Looks Ready to Make an NCAA Tournament Run Mar 17, 2023

Show notes

After the first day of the NCAA Tournament, three Big Ten teams are on to the Round of 32. Well, two saw their seasons come to an end. The Penn State Nittany Lions look ready to make a deep run in this tournament after dominating Texas A&M Thursday, while the Illinois Fighting Illini and the Iowa Hawkeyes both took losses that showed why so many people doubt the Big Ten in March.

After an exciting Thursday first round of the tournament, Nate Dickinson says it was a successful day for the conference and looks to find more Big Ten wins for Friday on today's episode of Locked on Big 10.

Why Some B1G Schools Should Be Afraid of More Expansion Mar 14, 2023

Show notes

As the college sports landscape continues to change and we prepare for more movement among the conferences, the Big Ten's leaders have shown resistance to adding more teams as quickly as possible. With Rutgers AD Pat Hobbs voicing his concerns about the conference expanding too quickly, Nate Dickinson suggests there could be some ulterior motives for a school like Rutgers not wanting more teams in the Big Ten just yet. Looking years down the road, could adding more Big Ten teams mean that some schools eventually get kicked out? Nate looks at the possibilities on today's Locked On Big 10.

Rutgers Got Robbed by the Selection Committee Mar 13, 2023

On today's Locked On Big 10, Nate Dickinson tries to figure out how the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee could make such a big mistake while later going over the draws for the rest of the teams in the tournament.
