Artesian_86 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) Northwestern definitely has it's work cut out for them their next 3 games! This Sunday, 2/26/2023 -@ - Maryland College Park, MD 12:00 P.M. 3/1/2023- home - Penn State Evanston, Ill. 9:00 P.M. 3/5/2023 -@- Rutgers Piscataway, N.J. 7:30 P.M. Don't get wrong, our final three are going to be real tough, but if we can some how go 2-1 down the stretch, I wouldn't be surprised to see Northwestern end up 1-2, maybe 0-3. Remember, Xavier is going to fit into IU's game plan somewhere in these next 3 games. JMO Edited February 24, 2023 by Artesian_86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierDPU95 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) I think it's more likely going to be a 4-way tie when all said and done. Assuming IU loses Saturday and wins out and the other 7 or 8 loss teams lose one more game (which appears to be more than likely given the remaining schedule). Assuming Michigan State gets their makeup game with Minni figured out (which they are working hard to do because they know it will impact them negatively with tournament seeding if they don't) IU, Maryland, MSU, and either Illinois or Michigan (they still play each other again) will finish at 12-8. Based on the tiebreaker, if Illinois beats Michigan Maryland will be the 3 seed and IU the 4. If Michigan beats Illinois IU will be the 3 and either MSU or Maryland will be the 4 That's what I'm seeing at least Edited February 24, 2023 by HoosierDPU95 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 So this is based on the assumption we lose Saturday and win both next week. At 12-8 someone correct me here. We would have tiebreakers over Illinois and Michigan because of sweeps. However Northwestern holds it over us because of sweep and because Maryland played us and Illinois just once (both wins at home) they would eventually hold tiebreaker over us? I know it's the combined record of teams who are tied but for us to get that 3 seed we need Northwestern to secure 2nd alone....and somehow have Maryland lose 2 of final 3 (home w/Northwestern, at Ohio St, at Penn St). Is that how everyone is seeing things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we have two HTH losses against them. About have to play Minny vs. MSU on 3/2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we really need in order to get 3 seed and stay on bottom of bracket is Northwestern to do us all a solid and win Sunday at Maryland.

Is that how everyone is seeing things? If Michigan beats Illinois and loses to us they are in the mix and that gives Maryland a 2-2 record against the group. In that scenario, we have a 3-2 (60%) record against the group in either scenario. If Illinois beats Michigan and then Maryland's record against the group would be 2-1 (66%). 9 minutes ago, btownqb said: We don't want NW to be included in any of these 3-way, 4-way ties though, correct?

Talking with Rutgers and Nebraska about what? Minni is schedule to play Rutger on 3/2 already. They would need to agree to move that game to Tuesday so Minni and MSU could play on Thursday. I don't think Nebraska needs to move if that happens though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted February 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Consider this... By March 5th we could be anywhere from tied for 1st to tied for 12th... That's crazy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess that does beg the question (and I hate even asking it...) If IU would lose out, and we're facing 3 pretty good teams, and lost in the first game of the BTT, ARE we a cinch for the NCAA? Is 19-13 and 10-10 good enough? Edited February 24, 2023 by IUFLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team I'd rooted for as far back as I can remember, versus knowing a guy who I grew up with and admired quite a bit was going to take Purdue's last shot...
