Big Ten Tourney scenarios

Purdue putting the hurt on Minnesota right now.

Cookie, any chance your doc is shareable? A google doc or something?

If Purdue beats Minnesota which looks likely right now....what all needs to happen for us to play Purdue?  Or does that seal it?

Either Iowa to win and Illinois to lose, or Iowa to lose and Illinois to win.

Sorry, I didn't actually create the doc.  Just found the pic of the spreadsheet on another forum.  If it was mine, I would make it shareable for sure.

[uneblinstu]

Ah, no worries.

They just said on TV that an Iowa win today guarantees them the 6 seed.

With purdue's win that is correct

[royalfan]

We are probably better off losing today as far as the tourney goes.  But screw Iowa.   If we lose today we pry play Purdue.  Win today we probably get Iowa. 

[uneblinstu]

So, as I understand it, if OSU beats Illinois tomorrow, Purdue will be the 7, right?

Yesiree, Bob!

One thing we can be absolutely sure of, and that is, no matter what happens...Iowa still sucks.

[BjoeHusker]

Purdue ended our season last year, correct?

Yesiree, Bob!

 

(I got a pattern going here.)

Yesiree, Bob!  

 

 

Speaking of Budweiser, what time is it? 

[cipsucks]

cip, does Iowa still suck?

Yesiree, Bob!

 

And, as the song says, "More today, than yesterday."

Ohio State leads by 12 with 3 minutes left...it's starting to look like we get Purdue.

I have a hard time working up any hatred for a team whose mascot is an alcoholic beverage.

BR just tweeted that it is offical, The Huskers play Purdue.

Did you know that Purdue owns a winning series record against ALL Big Ten opponents except Ohio State (83-85)?  The team with the next best series record against them in conference play in terms of win-loss margin?  That's right, Nebraska (0-3).

let's make it 1-3 this week.

[49r]

So here's where we're at right now, and it's pretty much down to Indiana/Michigan, even then it doesn't affect us until potentially Saturday.  Which is to say, it won't matter to us at all.

 

We're the #10 and we play #7 Purdue in the opening round.

 

If we win, we go on to play #2 Ohio State

Win that, and it's either the #3 (MSU, Mich) or the winner of the #6/#11 (Ill or NW)

 

Best part of all this is we are guaranteed to be on the opposite side of the bracket from Wisconsin and indiana.  Worst part is we'd have to beat Purdue, then Ohio State for it to matter.
