If Michigan loses we would finish ahead of them. That’s the only difference. We play them 8/9 game. But would be nice to finish above them.

If Illinois and Michigan State win today which they should , we will be tied for 5th place in final standings , which is awesome , along with Ohio State, Iowa and Penn State. If Michigan somehow comes back in second half ,there will be a 5 way tie. More than likely , Michigan will lose and we will be the 8 for seeding purposes because we lose in the 4 team tiebreaker and Michigan will be the 9.

If Maryland wins, that locks Wisconsin into the 1 seed. If Michigan wins, there is a path for Michigan State to be the 1 seed. So it depends on who you would rather face Friday if we win Thursday. I hope Maryland wins today.

I think I’m going on my 15th straight year of being off the first two days of the tournament. When my work anniversary hits in August every year the day after the Super Bowl and the first two days of the tournament are immediately taken off by me

I’ve taken the first two days of the tournament off since my first real job in ‘86.

Honestly finishing 8th in the league looks better from an optics standpoint/more improvement but as mentioned above we are locked in for noon thursday

Root for Nebraska because a road win against Minnesota would get them in 160s, since NW went up 20 with a home win vs PSU.

Wait - During the Maryland game, five minutes ago, they showed the bracket with us as a 7 playing Purdue as a 10 in the third game on Thursday. The have Michigan 9 playing Penn State 8. at noon This is on BTN, so I'm not questioning the source. What gives?

I’m watching as well, I think that’s the current standings but no matter what happens we’re locked as the 8 or 9 against Michigan

Any thoughts on who we should root for from a resume/NET perspective? I mean as far as strengthening it for the committee.

Then why does Fox 5 keep showing RU as the 7th seed vs Purdue??

Because that’s after Saturday results. But every Sunday result pushes us to either 8 or 9. Kind of stupid way for BTN to present it, but it was the as of now stat.

Maryland will beat Michigan

If Ohio State beats Michigan State, and Iowa beats Illinois, we finish tied with PSU for 7th/8th.

Who wins that tie breaker, and why?

Head to head is 1-1
Then it is who has a better record against 1st seed, then 2nd seed, and so on.

We are 1-1 vs Wisconsin, and PSU is 0-1 vs them.

How would PSU finish ahead of us?

A. Two-team tie:
1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular-season.

2. Each team's record vs. the team occupying the highest position in the final regular-season standings (or in the case of a tie for the championship, the next highest position in the regular-season standings), continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage.

Maryland won over Michigan so that should settle it. We finish ahead of Michigan in the standings and could still end up tied for 5th in the conference, which would be quite an achievement.

Is there something wrong with me to not be that in to what happens? I’ll watch the game and all, but NCAAs are really what I REALLY care about.
