Purdue lost to UConn in the NCAA championship game Monday. That meant the Big Ten lost too, which has become something of a trend.
Monday's game marked the Big Ten's eighth straight loss in a men's national championship game, with the conference's last title coming from Michigan State in 2000. The Big Ten has also lost four women's championship games in that span, the most recent coming Sunday with Iowa's loss to South Carolina.
That adds up to an 0-12 record since Tom Izzo's group cut the nets, with eight different schools taking an L, though current member Maryland can at least brag it won a championship in 2002 when it was part of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
