2024 B1G Tourney Projection

[jimmykc]

So far as the game went, my snap decision to attend the game was somewhat disappointing, needless to say. We froze our butts off at the Rose Parade and I missed the flyover of the stealth bomber while trying to buy a hot cup of overpriced coffee. My only brush with celebrity was eating breakfast in the hotel coffee shop and noticing that Jerry West was sitting at the next table. I didn't try to get an autograph which I would have undoubtedly done if it had been Larry Bird.

I watched several episodes of whatever it was called on HBO about the Lakers.  The way they both were portrayed, neither of them would have signed an autograph. I'm sure that portrayal was incorrect.

Ok last question. If Nebraska wins and Wisconsin loses to Purdue, are we automatically the 3 seed?

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but here's what we know this very second:

 

#1 Purdue

#2 Illinois

#3 Nebraska

#4 Northwestern

#5 Wisconsin

...

#14 Michigan

[Norm Peterson]

And the bracketologist that Nick Bah-hee chooses to spotlight in the broadcast thinks Northwestern and Michigan State are 7 seeds, and we'll be in the play-in game in Dayton. #SMDH

With that logic, half of the Big 12 should be bubble teams at best.

I actually like Bahe, but he’s an idiot.

Actually, it seems there's 1 scenario where Iowa can become a 5 seed. That's Iowa over Illinois and Indiana over Michigan State.

 

So #5-13 still up in the air.

[throwback]

OSU goes on the road and blows out RU - the Bucks will be a tough out next week.

Said it a week ago - would much rather stay away from them for as long as possible. They have really turned it around since firing Holtmann.

They'll be desperate and play with some motivation in Minneapolis, too, because they could move into bubble status with a deep run. I'd prefer not to see them on the #11 line.

[HuskerFever]

As of now:

 

#1 Purdue

#2 Illinois

#3 Nebraska

#4 Northwestern

...

#13 Rutgers

#14 Michigan

I don't like him. I especially don't like his color commentary for our games.

[Dead Dog Alley]

Superhuman effort today to carry MSU to the win, by the officiating crew.  MSU has yet to set a legal screen but has been called on none of them.

The leg spreads and hip checks on high screens really need to be a so-called 'point of emphasis' for the rules committee and the Consortium of Stooges.  Not having watched the game, I suspect Sissoko was the main culprit.  He's one of the worst I've ever seen.

Would we rather have Michigan State or Indiana as the 6 seed? Michigan state has no business bring a tournament lock

Good chance the 11 seed wins the 6/11 game.

I think we're past the " who would we rather play" game.  We have a really nice team! 

[throwback]

Indiana holds on to win a wild game

• Iowa, PSU win - #6 Wisc / #14-#11 Mich-PSU
• Iowa, Mary win - #6 Wisc / #14-#11 Mich-Mary
• Ill, PSU win - #6 Indiana / #14-#11 Mich-PSU
• Ill, Mary win - #6 Indiana / #14-#11 Mich-Mary

If Iowa beats Illinois, Wisconsin is the #6 seed / if Illinois wins Indiana is the #6 seed

• Illinois at Iowa at 6 on FS1
• Maryland at PSU at 6:30 on BTN

[hhcmatt]

In terms of our resume, playing Wisconsin is better than Indiana. 

[HuskerFever]

Two games remain:

 

#1 Purdue

#2 Illinois

#3 Nebraska

#4 Northwestern

...

#8 Michigan State

...

#13 Rutgers

#14 Michigan

[HuskerFever]

Top 4 seed opponents:

 

#1 Purdue: Ohio State/Michigan State or Minnesota/Michigan State
