BB Conf Stndgs & Indy Seeding
Last-minute trip to Indy next weekend for family memorial service. Trying to plan my travel around potential UM Conf Tourney games. Appears that our best final conference standing is 8th place - right? If we beat Minny, we can only move up one spot to 8th place Big 10? And we stay in 9th place if we lose to Minny? So either way we play 12 noon games both Thursday & Friday in Indy next week with Friday a potential Sparty rematch? If I'm missing something here, please enlighten. Merci.

I may be wrong but we lose sat. and NW loses (or wins) sunday we are an 8 seed (9 if NW wins). But if we win, we are a 7 seed b/c we would own the tie-breaker between us and Minny. This is where I'm not positive but if we win and NW beats O$U, there are 4 teams w/ 9-9 records and we own that tiebreaker and would be a 6 seed.
So summed up we win sat. we are prob. a 7 seed and if we lose we are playing in the 8/9 game.
