Big game in Minneapolis tonight, OSU vs Minnesota. Iowa currently tied with OSU for 3rd and have the tiebreaker vs OSU, Minnesota one game back but has the tiebreaker vs the Hawks. After tonight Minnesota has MSU at home and Illinois on the road. OSU has USC and Michigan at home and finish at MSU.

You're rooting for OSU, but the smart money is on Minnesota.

If Iowa wins out, it doesn't matter, because we'll have the tiebreakers against OSU and Michigan and a better record than Minnesota.

If we have one more loss, then I think OSU would be the team to root for since the rest of their schedule looks more likely to get them another loss than Minnesota's.

We really want MSU to go on a nice run to end the season and take out both of them though.

Not sure NCAA seeding and BIG tourney seeding point in the same direction. Ohio St is a competitor for an NCAA 3 seed. Not sure Minnesota can get all the way to the NCAA 3 seed line.
