Big Ten (plus Larry Bird) All-Time Great Basketball Team Player Cards

The following is our suggested conference seeding based on the Value Add Basketball Game player cards, followed by a team. We based the seeding on the cards in our game and these results in games we played so far, but reserved the top spots for any team that won the national title followed by any team that was a runner-up. 

We couldn't resist moving Larry Bird and Indiana State over to the Big Ten for this tournament ... and line him up so if they can get past Trey Burke's Michigan 2013 team he gets a rematch of the most important college game in history vs. Magic Johnson and Michigan State in the second round.

 More details to follow:
