The only advantage either team gets is the fact that the Big Ten led in number of head-to-head championship wins 3-1. One other important note to mention is the fact that 4 of the 8 head-to-head match ups between the two conferences came in the championship games of early season tournaments over the holidays. The rest of the match ups were neutral court games in preseason tournaments in which the conferences once again split 3-3. Only two match ups were true road/home games, and those were split 1-1 between the Big Ten and Big 12. It is also difficult to judge which side has the edge on winning at home or on the road because we once again have a tie. Six out of these 8 games contained at least one team ranked in the top 25. It also can't be forgotten that these games weren't negligent games, but rather season-impacting match ups between top-tier teams in the early going. Neither side had an edge as the two conferences split 4-4. Upon a closer look at this year's non-conference match ups between the two conferences, it becomes clear that it is a fairly even battle.

With a number of powerhouse schools performing at a high level yearly, it is undeniable that the Big Ten has some impressive talent. The Big Ten is often argued to be one of the best conferences in college basketball.
