I think right now they're likely one of the first four byes or a bit better. And just for fun here's my, probably way off, guess on where they will finish based on each scenario.

  1. Penn State win is just to keep that seeding. Loss gets us to last four in or first four out.
  2. If they beat Penn State and only get one bye for the B1G tourny, 1 win keeps them at last four byes or better, first round loss gets them to last four in.
  3. If they lose to Penn State, 1 win gets them last four in, loss and they're out.
  4. If they get a double bye, means they beat Penn State and a first round loss is likely against a Quad 1 team and they keep the first four bye or better.
  5. If they get to the B1G semis then looking at a 8 or 9 seed (assuming 1 more Quad 1 win. 7 total)
  6. If they make B1G finals then 6 or 7 (assuming 2 more Quad 1 wins. 8 total)
  7. If they win the B1G then 4 or 5 (assuming 3 more Quad 1 wins. 9 total)

Good analysis except we are never getting to a 4-5. The best we can hope for is a 6 or 7. Which I will take in a heartbeat. !😀😀😀

We lose to PSU we are in Dayton. We win we are in the field.

My preference would be to beat PSU and get the double bye and even if we lose it is to a top team and will not hurt our chances.

If we lose to PSU, and then get a matchup against Maryland and lose then an outside chance we don't even see Dayton IMO

Our NET will not matter with a 12-8 B1G record including 6 Q1 wins, with 2 of them on the road. And it's also possible our MSU and UM wins move back to Q1.

Interesting point since MSU or UM getting back to Q1 would mean a win over OSU which (assuming a win by RU vs PSU) also pushes us to 4th place. That would be 7 (or 8) Q1 wins as well as the double bye, lower risk game in the tourney. Tonight's OSU game could be big for us.

You may be right and there are a lot of different scenarios but when I put some names on what it could take to win the B1G it creates an incredible resume.

Just going on current standings (Rutgers 6 seed) and assuming highest seed advances they would need to beat Purdue, Illinois, and Wisconsin. That's 7 wins against ranked teams with 4 of them coming on the road or on a neutral court.

Given that was a flagrant 2 that makes it reviewable for a suspension?

I get him getting tossed that seemed warranted, a suspension seems a bit much.

Anybody rewatching in slow motion see’s Paul was the victim and was pushing his way out. If defensive player pushed someone like that going to the basket, they would be called for an intential and flagrant.

Did you at least scope out places for parties in Dayton just in case ? Maybe it’s a happening place

I grew up near Dayton and went to school there for grades 3 to 5. I made the Home News and got interviewed on WCTC by Jack Elery when they opened the first bank there. Dayton, NJ of course 😁

Then take the call and win the game.

Swinging back, getting ejected and giving the opposition a chance is not the way to handle it.

A 10% final four rate is better than all but the top 3 seeds. The 3 seed makes it 11.31% of the time and the 4 seed makes it 8.33% of the time. But a 12 seed, which I believe is going to be the seeds of the last four at large teams, has never made the final four.

It would be nice if we could move ahead of a couple of ranked team from the B1G who are sure to get bids.
