There is still a road to the 5 seed. It requires us to win out and Nebraska to lose out, and Penn State to drop one.

We would have the win over Nebraska, but Michigan would have the win over us, and Nebraska would have the win over Michigan. Only way for that to happen is for Penn State to also finish 11-7, making it a 4 way tie. Based on games between all four opponents, Penn State is 4th, we are 5th, Michigan 6th, Nebraska 7th.

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 5 seed is off the table. Now need Penn State to lose one of their last two and then we need to beat OSU for the 6th seed. Or if PSU loses their final two, we are the 6th seed even if we lose to OSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Ohio State is now likely to be our second opponent in the tournament, should we get that far. We beat them on Friday, we are probably the 6 and they are the 3. We lose to them, we are likely the 7 and they the 2. Not one hundred percent but these are the two most likely outcomes.

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 We now control our own fate for the 6th seed. IU win over OSU OR PSU loss against Nebraska - 6th IU loss to OSU AND PSU win over Nebraska - 7th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddy4iu Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 With PSU loss we are back at 6 seed for the moment. They finish at Nebraska and we, of course, finish with OSU at home. Stay as the 6 and we may well meet OSU again on Friday assuming we dispense with Illinois/Rutgers winner. Finish in 7 and we get Wisconsin and then Purdue if we can handle Wisky. All based on if the BTT seedings were established as things stand today. I'm sure they won't but fun to consider anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Sounds crazy, but I’d really like to avoid Illinois in the BTT. With the pressure they apply defensively and our guard propensity for just handing the ball to the other team, that’s a matchup I don’t like.

In my opinion there is a decent chance that Wisconsin won't be the 10 seed. If they pull off a win at Northwestern tonight, which is not out of the question, they jump over NU to the 9 and NU would be the opponent for the 7 seed on Thursday in the BTT.

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 No reason to hope for a lower seed. If we end up the 7 seed, Purdue will be the 3 seed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 Several seeds were locked up last night: No chance of us playing Maryland or Wisconsin until the championship game. If we lose tonight and Penn State beats Nebraska, we will play Northwestern on Thursday 3/1 at 6:30pm ET. If we win tonight or Penn State loses to Nebraska, we will play the winner of Minnesota vs Iowa/Rutgers/Illinois on Thursday 3/1 at 9pm ET.
