They're all over the place.

So...
So...
What that chart is telling me is this...
Beat Indiana - 2 or 3 seed
- Quarterfinal vs Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa, or Purdue
- Semifinal vs Ohio (if Ohio beats Illinois) or Sparty (if Illinois beats Ohio) *most likely, barring upset*
Lose to Indiana, Penn State beats Wisconsin - 4 seed
- Quarterfinal against Wisconsin or Penn State
- Semifinal against Indiana
Lose to Indiana, Wisconsin beats Penn State - 5 seed
- First Round Game against Penn State
- Quarterfinal against Wisconsin
- Semifinal vs Indiana
I much prefer path #1 please.

Everyone who is hoping
Everyone who is hoping
Everyone who is hoping Wisconsin wins is crazy. Understandable, I guess, given the emotions involved, but still wrong. According to the chart El Fuego posted above, with a Sparty win, the game Sunday determines Michigan's seed in the BTT:
Win, and they are a 2/3 seed, and will play MSU or OSU in the semis (assuming a win Friday against a bottom-half B1G team). Either way, get a bye Thursday and looking at a pretty easy first round game (at least as easy as B1G games can be this season). Beat MSU/OSU, and M is in the final.
Lose to Indiana, and 7/8 outcomes have M playing Wisco in the 4/5 game. It would suck to be the 5 and have to play Penn State again, but oh well. Anyway, based on how well UW has played recently, I like our chances in a rematch. Which would put us in the semis against Indiana, but it's hard to beat a team 3 times in one season.
Finally, MSU winning tonight (as I write, it's a 18 point lead with 2 min left) guarantees Indiana the 1 seed. They'll still want to win the title outright on Sunday, but with both tournament 1 seeds pretty much locked up, they might lack a little motivation. Every little bit helps.

I think you are making too
I think you are making too
I think you are making too much of the BTT. I would rather finish ahead of MSU in the Big Ten standings, which we haven't done since the 1990s (we've been tied with them the last two years and a couple times under Amaker, but not ahead of them in this century). I don't really care about the BTT. If you win, great. If you lose, you get extra rest. I don't see it as a huge deal.
March 8th, 2013 at 12:11 AM |
I dunno. I see it as another
I dunno. I see it as another
I dunno. I see it as another opportunity to get quality wins against good teams, which would help the NCAA seeding. And I like our chances against MSU or OSU instead of Indiana. At least making the BTT final could be enough to push us to the 1 line (assuming other games fall our way, of course). And that makes the road to the ultimate goal easier.
It's a moot point now, but I think you are caring about finishing ahead of MSU too much. If neither team wins the BTT, people are going to care more about who goes further in the NCAA tournament anyway.
