Anyone who is viewing this logically would conclude that 3-1 is the most probable result followed by 2-2. Oklahoma once got in at 8-12 with a first round Big 12 tourney loss. Rutgers quite simply put is not losing out and then pulling a Va Tech like result in the Big Ten tourney. A bevy of teams historically have gotten in at 9-11 including OSU in the Big Ten. I still see the Big Ten getting 9 in and have now swapped Maryland for Minnesota. I can see Maryland landing at 10-10. Not Minnesota. I think they are out. Conference tourneys have put teams in the Dance,but only on limited occasions knocked teams out. I see Rutgers at 11-9,1-1 and a 6 seed for what it is worth. The NCAA likes fun match-ups. So an SHU or SJU game is more likely than a Utah State.

RU is likely looking at somewhere between a 5th and 8th place finish in league. If Michigan is the one spot thats where I would want to avoid. Likely, Michigan 1 and Iowa 4. I would much rather be in the Illinois/Ohio State bracket. Of course our first round matchup could be Penn State or Michigan State.

I am not worried at all about conference mark. Minnesota if they can knock of Illinois can test the 0 fer road mark if they dont beat Penn State but would be hard to deny a team that beat Iowa, Michigan, Illinois and Ohio State

Need to go at least 3-1 to avoid the 8-9 game. Gotta get a 7 or higher seed.

Not sure whats hoing to happen with rescheduling Michigan games. They need to play Illinois. Big 10 has to make it happen to make final standings legit

I was talking about in the NCAA tournament. I don't really care about seedings in the B1G tourney (if that's what you're referring to). Just want to avoid the 8/9 game in the NCAAs, so we don't have to play a 1 seed in the second round.

Minnesota is making the tournament, not sure how they don't make it...

Illinois at home
Northwestern at home
At Penn State
Rutgers at home

They also had a road game at Nebraska wiped out as well.

Even without the Nebraska game getting rescheduled, they should get into a 11 to 14 game worse case and likely get Nebraska anyway, to go 1-1 in Indianapolis.

One variable is Klaucher is out 3 to 4 weeks with a broken finger. If they beat Illinois tomorrow and handle NW at home, they'll be a lock.

The road issue has become a problem

If they lose to Illinios..psu and ru..they are out
