Big Ten Tournament Seeding Prediction Thread
Not the actual team, their ranking. Before this Indiana game, they are ranked 8th in the nation and also 8th in the B10. Also, let's make this into a B10 tournament seed prediction thread. After yesterday's win, I'm calling a 4 seed for Michigan in the B10 tourney. Does yesterday's game change anyone's opinion on where the team ends the season?
MOD EDIT - Better title, folks? - LSA

Change the title if you want a Big Ten Tourney Projection Thread.

perhaps it is more appropriate to use.

MSU being ranked #8 is vexing. I am vexed. They beat ranked teams like Kansas, Louisville, and Maryland. They also lost to Nebraska and Wisconsin, and got creamed by Iowa twice. They seem like a high teens, low 20s kind of team, ranking wise, to me.

Kill it with fire.
February 14th, 2016 at 2:15 PM ^
Seconded.

basically the spike injury cost us two players

Yes, but weren't most of MSU's losses with weird guys on the floor??
February 14th, 2016 at 2:24 PM ^
Weird guys, like Carrot Top, or that guy who wraps building in aluminim foil and calls it art?

Christo's wrapping of the sidewalks in a park in Kansas City. Cool, but yes, weird. Oh, and he died in 2009, but his widow continues the artwork.

...be still kicking. Jeanne-Claude is the one that passed away a few years ago.

Negged for sarcasm? Rough crowd.

Why does a Kentucky guy care about MSU's ranking, and further why post about it on a Michigan blog?

and they looked like the best team in the country against us. I think that I am going to stop going to games. I've only been at two, Indiana and MSU at home. Both were pretty awful.
February 14th, 2016 at 3:03 PM ^
What was the original title?
February 14th, 2016 at 3:40 PM ^
February 14th, 2016 at 4:23 PM ^
That is bad.

I'd say UM will be lucky to get a 7-seed in the B1G and NCAA tourney. Even after yesterday's game, I think we will only beat NW the remainder of the schedule. Seeds will be MSU, MD, Iowa, IU, Wisky, OSU, UM, and then the rest of the pack.

Isn't seeding for the Big Ten tourney based on Big Ten standings? Like, that seems like the logical appraoch at least? How on earth do you expect MSU to jump past 6 teams in the remainder of the season? That would require Iowa to lose 4 times, and the remainder of their schedule includes @Penn State (virtually guaranteed win), vs. Wisconsin (a likely victory), @Ohio State (almost a guaranteed win) vs Indiana (the most likely but still unlikely team to beat them), then @Michigan (a game you said you expect Iowa to win). Somewhere your logic takes a hit, because Iowa is not going to lose 4 games out of those 5, unless they lose to us or Penn State, and there is no way they will lose to Penn State, and you already said they'll bet us. I expect us to win 2 or 3 out of our last 4, which would mean state probabl wouldn't jump us, let alone the rest of the conference. Sorry this is so long, but it would take essentially a miracle for MSU to jump from 7th to 1st in the Big Ten with so few games remaining. And I also think we have no business losing to OSU. And we definitely can beat Iowa (we almost did at Iowa).
