Something that Zach Osterman brought up on a podcast recently,
"The B1G is the conference is still officiated like its the 1980's. Too many times that the post play is particularly ugly, no blood no foul."

As a result, B1G players get used to not being called for fouls on "minor" contact, but that changes in the NCAA tournament.
Similarly, they're often discouraged from post moves they should be attempting and players from ACC/SEC/BE will make those moves and have easier time in Tourney action.
