8. Iowa not in unless it makes the finals.

I think you have to put Iowa in as well if they beat Nebraska.

I guess Purdue has no shot. So 8, with Iowa.

Maybe semis. I think they have to beat MSU tomorrow, but finishing at .500 in the toughest conference and winning two tournament games SHOULD outweigh their horrid OOC SOS.

Well Michigan sure ended up throttling Penn State (as they should have)

Ive seen some say they have to win the BTT. They finished 9-9 in the B1G...but they went 0-fer vs the top 5 seeds...They have no good wins, really.

I think if they make the finals and some bubble teams blow it, they can sneak in. No chance with an OOC SOS at 309 and NO signature win to point to do they make it without making the finals at least. MSU would put them in that last four out pod, imo.

Also, I shouldvt said 7, not 8. Purdue is also not going to make it.

Just like in past years some of it depends on what happens across the country. How many teams who were not going to get a nod win their tournaments and force the hands of the committe

Ohio State gets Nebraska in the quarters. Couldn't have asked for anything more than that.

If Iowa gets to the finals beating Michigan State and Ohio State they would have to be in. If they beat Michigan State and either lose to OSU or play Nebraska then they would need a bit of help.

I think they are in regardless. They are .500 in the undisputed toughest conference in the nation and have 22 wins on the season. They are in, 10-11 seed maybe, but you can go ahead and book it.

Wisconsin doing normal Wisconsin-like things in the first half. Gonna be lucky if they break 15 points.

Very true. lol

But point remains. They cant shoot in NBA arenas for some reason. Struggled mightily at MSG earlier this year also.

UM had a 9-0 over 2-3 minutes to close in on Wisconsin. Currently 59-54 with 2 remaining.
