Michigan State

Since Indiana just lost to OSU tonight, I was wondering what the Big Ten Tournament seedings could be. This is the schedule for the remaining Big Ten conference games and the winners of each game in my completely subjective opinion:

Wednesday 3/6

Michigan @ Purdue

Minnesota @ Nebraska

Thursday 3/7

Wisconsin @ Michigan State

Penn State @ Northwestern

Saturday 3/9

Minnesota @ Purdue

Nebraska @ Iowa

Sunday 3/10

Indiana @ Michigan

Northwestern @ Michigan State

Illinois @ Ohio State

Wisconsin @ Penn State

This would result in a 4-way tie atop the conference between Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State. According to the tiebreaking procedures from last year's tournament, the seeding would work out as follows:

Here is the 2013 Big Ten Tournament bracket. In the scenario I described, Michigan would be playing the winner of Minnesota vs Nebraska. If I made a mistake, please correct me.

EDIT: Fixed. I think UM would be the 3 seed by virtue of losing the comparison to OSU against Wisconsin.

Some more changes for Spartans 2013 offensive strategy.  

And is Dantonio pursuing future endeavors elsewhere?

Warning: Links to Freep article.

Tom Izzo has announced that sophomore SF Brandan Kearney is transferring from the MSU program. He was a 3-star from Detroit Southeastern and was considered to be a key piece down the road for the Spartans.

Looks like Izzo will need to scratch even harder to fill a one- or two-man class for next year.

Unfortunately, the only link currently available is from the Freep:

With that Butch Davis back in the picture and Tuberville slapping graduate assistants live, starting a player straight out of jail or making cracks at an opposing players height isn't an issue anymore. Or ever was, according to some MSU fans.

Also, Dantonio probably knows by now he's at a huge recruiting disadvantage with Hoke and Meyer offering every elite player in sight, and if Bielema can get hired at 3 million plus a year, he's not gonna be there much longer. 

Odds on him opening 2014 as MSU's coach? If not what school could fire their HC next year look for a defensive minded coach?

Sparty fans speculating that Denard won't be able to finish the game.  Time for another bounty investigation, this time by the NCAA.
