According to Boeheim, teams play for the NCAA Tournament and for the ultimate success of a deep run in March. The B1G fell short of that during the 2021-22 season, so the conference ultimately “sucked,” per Boeheim.
“At the end of the day, you play for the NCAA tournament,” said Boeheim. “You can say what you want about the Big Ten. They sucked in the tournament. To me, that’s what they did. All of their wins were in their league. If you can’t play in the NCAA tournament, then you’re not good.”
Boeheim also explained that’s why he doesn’t mind finishing 5th or 6th in the ACC if Syracuse is able to top it off with a Sweet 16 appearance.
