Post Season Tournament Possibilities

I'm not saying I would rather go to the NIT, I'm just saying it's not a bad thing to go to the NIT.

Ok, I misunderstood you then. I agree that there is alot to gain from the NIT as long as we don't tank if we miss out on the NCAA. Playing at home should minimize that though.

What happened:

Southern Miss won - trying to get on the bubble

Arkansas beat Kentucky - really helps their case

Florida Gulf Coast lost - could have helped us

UAB wins - helps our "worst" loss look better

Green Bay won - trying to get on the bubble

N Dakota State won - trying to get on the bubble

Indiana won - helps since we play IU twice and Iowa only once

UTEP lost - long shot for them to get in

Oregon won @ UCLA in double OT - Oregon needed a big win to try to get on the bubble and that sure helped

We got a little help but a couple teams that really needed a win got it.

ESPN Bubble Watch:

Locks: Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Ohio State

Should be In: Iowa

Work to Do: Minnesota, Nebraska

Nebraska [16-11 (8-7), RPI: 50, SOS: 21] On Thursday, an Omaha radio host told the Watch that folks in Nebraska were having a collective "Chicken Little" moment over the Cornhuskers' 11-point road loss at Illinois on Wednesday. It wasn't great, of course, but as most bracket projections held on Thursday, Nebraska was still in roughly the same place it was before: on the bubble, in the game, but still in desperate need of a forward leap. Here's the game plan: First, thank Missouri, Tennessee, St. John's, Georgetown and everyone else for being such forgiving bubble competitors. Next, don't lose at home to Northwestern. In that order.

I posted this in another thread but since it took me forever, thought i would post this on here:

My predictions

1) Michigan- 21-7(13-3)- @Ill, IND- 23-7(15-3)

2) Michigan State- 22-7(11-5)- IA, @OSU= 26-5( 13-5)

3) Wisconsin-23-5(10-5) @PSU, PUR, @NEB- 25-6(12-6)

4) Iowa-19-9(8-7)-Pur, @MSU, ILL- 21-10(10-8)- Iowa Wins Tiebreaker due to head to head

5) Nebraska 17-11(9-7)- @IND, WIS -14(10-8)

6) Ohio State-22-7(9-7) @IND, MSU- 22-9(9-9)

7) Minnesota-18-12(7-10) PSU- 19-12(8-10)-Minnesota wins tiebreaker due to head to head win

8) Indiana- 16-12 (6-9)- OSU, NEB, @MICH- 18-13(8-10)

9) Northwestern- 12-17(5-11)PSU, @PUR 13-18(6-12)-NW wins tiebreaker due to wins over Pur/ILL

10) Purdue 15-13 (5-10) @IOWA, @WISC, NW- 16-15(6-12)Purdue wins tiebreaker over ILL

11) Illinois 17-12 (6-10)- MICH, @Iowa - 17-14 (6-12)

12) Penn State 14-14(5-10)- WIS, @NW, @MINN- 14-17(5-13)

The B1G tourney would look like this:

#8 Indiana vs #9 Northwestern

#7 Minnesota vs #10 Purdue

#6 Ohio State vs #11 Illinois

#5 Nebraska vs #12 Penn State

(A) 8/9 vs #1 Michigan

(B) 7/10 vs #2 Michigan State

© 6/11 vs #3 Wisconsin

(D) 5/12 vs #4 Iowa

Winner of A plays Winner of D

Winner of B plays Winner of C

Agree, minnesota. I don't think we win the last two so the #5 seed and a potential second-round matchup with Iowa would be a great position to be in.

How would we hold the tie breaker over tOSU?

We dont tie with OSU tho-- We have a better record(10-8) to their (9-9)

But if we did.

Since we split with OSU it goes to the second part which is record against the top team in B1G- Our win over MSU gives us that.

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.

  • A. When arriving at another pair of tied teams while comparing records, use each team's record against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to their own tie-breaking procedures), rather than the performance against the individual tied teams.
  • B. When comparing records against a single team or a group of teams, the higher winning percentage shall prevail, even if the number of games played against the team or group is unequal (i.e., 2-0 is better than 3-1); in the case of tied percentages vs. the team or group of 1.000 or .000 the following shall apply: 2-0 is better than 1-0; 0-1 is better than 0-2.
