Big Ten Super Happy Fun Yawn Time

The Big Ten is the slowest major basketball conference in the country, with an average pace of 61.5 possessions per game. That's significantly slower than Herb's slowest NC State teams. And it's the average for every game. Can you imagine an ACC where every team plays the methodical style that Duke has adopted this season? That's pretty much the Big Ten.

In the today's B10 tourney opener, Michigan beat Minnesota 49-40 in front of approximately threeve people at the United Center. The game had 60 possessions.
