Uhh

I don't think this is correct. We are tied with Wisconsin, and they beat us head to head. We only play them once. Am I missing something or wouldn't Wisconsin be Big Ten champs if we were to be tied at the top with just them?

EDIT: I guess I was wrong. Same record is a split title. I guess it makes sense considering they didn't have to come to our place.

I don't think the B1G has a tie breaker since they don't have a balanced schedule. What ever the final records are is all that matters.

Higher Seed

I think we would get #1 Seed if we win out because we would have an overall ranking better than Wisconsin. For instance if we were #1 or #2 and Wisconsin was #10, we would B1G Ten #1 Seed.

Big Ten Tourney tie-breaker

http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/100606aae.html

Let's say Michigan and Wisco finish the regular season atop the rankings.  Wisco gets the #1 seed because of tie-breaker #1.  Ranking does not matter at all.

TWO-TEAM TIE

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.

3. Won-loss percentage of all Division I opponents.

4. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.

 

If it's a multi-team tie, then ranking still doesn't matter:

MULTIPLE-TEAM TIE

1. Results of head-to-head competition during the regular season.

  • A. 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 are 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.
  • B. After the top team among the tied teams is determined, the second team is ranked by its record among the original tied teams, not the head-to-head record vs. the remaining team(s).

2. If the remaining teams are still tied, then each tied team's record shall be compared to the team occupying the highest position in the final 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 are 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.

3. Won-loss percentage of all Division I opponents.

4. Coin toss conducted by the Commissioner or designee.

People, come on . . . I click on this thread thinking it's going to be jubliant and you're all buzzkills.  The Wisconsin game doesn't matter now.  This result effectively wipes it out.  We win out and we're Big Ten champs.

But it doesn't wipe it out.

It makes the MSU game must win (as well as the other road games) and most likely removes the chance to win it outright. It goes from only a major collapse costing us the title to having to win out. That game still matters big time.

Here's what I mean.  If IU, as expected, had won today and we had won in Madison, we'd be in the exact same situation as we are - one game behind IU and likely needing to win out.  

The breaks tend to balance out.  People forget how close we came to losing to Ohio at home.  And IU's loss to Illinois was arguably as shocking as ours to UW when you think about how big a lead they gave up.  Anyhow, if we had won in Madison, maybe IU would have brought their "A" game tonight, knowing they had to protect their lead in the standings.

I now get mad if I even see a halfcourt shot get made.  It's become a sickness as I can't even watch video of the fans at an NBA game making a halfcourt shot for prize money without wanting to punch them in the face.  

They've done nothing wrong, but I just get irrationally angry at half-court shots....that and Cheese.  Basically.........Fuck Wisconsin.

I thought at the time...

...that the Wisconsin game would huant us for a long time.  Even if we manage to win out & somehow luck into an outright B1G title and possibly even an NCAA title...I still think that game will irritate me everytime I think of it.

I guess that I need to start boozin again.  F'n Lent scrifices!

It's Minny. They fired Glen Mason for Tim Brewster. They don't need to get someone better. They'll probably still fire Tubby after this and hire that cheerleader who hit a flip throw from halfcourt.

This would be funnier if I could believe you were joking.  

Our basketball team gets a huge break tonight and all people want to do is relive the most painful moment of the season?  If we win out, we're Big Ten champs and a surefire #1 seed in the tourney.  Don't look for warts.

Winning out is going to be extremely difficult, and we wouldn't have to do it were it not for that miracle.  I think it's pretty normal to point out this fact.

Winning out will be a tall order, but its nothing they can't achieve.



I just want to step back for a second and think about if, hypothetically, Michigan wins its next 3 games and sets up a winner-take-all game against Indiana for the league title. I can't possibly fathom what the energy in Crisler will be like.

I looked at every game under John Beilien over student break, he's 17-6 (17-4 with 2007-2008 data removed because holy shit we were bad).  Of course, he is only 2-1 against ranked opponents over break.

Attendance wise, 18 out of 23 games over break saw attendance greater than the season average.  And the ones that didn't were to inferior, nonconference opponents (NCCU, FGCU, Bryant, etc.)

I think we will be okay.

And what are we, chopped liver?  I'm pretty sure we're #4 in the country in both polls.  If we're as good as our ranking suggests, we'll defend our home court.  We have a score to settle with both teams and we'll be playing them in Crisler.  If we can't beat them, we don't deserve the title.  Last year we split with the other two co-champs.

I believe it's record against the next highest team in the standings.  So if we win out and split the title with IU and MSU finishes 3rd, then IU would be the 1 seed in the BTT because they went 2-0 against our 1-1 versus State.

Same number of B1G losses = Split title. If both Michigan and Wisconsin win out, they both have 4 losses and both win a share of the title. 

Yes, Wisconsin holds the tiebreakers right now but that only matters for B1G Tourney seeding.

I think OSU beat MSU once?  The top three split against each other I think, hence the tie-breaker getting down to similar opponents record. 

Sparty beat Wisconsin twice, we won the only game against them and OSU split, giving OSU the worse record and the 3-eed, us the 2-seed, and Sparty the 1-seed.

It's simple

We win out, we hang a banner.  We're probably sharing the conference championship with either Indiana, Wisconsin, or both, but a banner is going up regardless.

Anciliary benefit, Michigan winning out means denying Sparty a share of the title.  Yes please.

We have to concentrate on Penn State first

Someone had to say it

 

Why are we worried about  tiebreakers? Plenty of bball left. I doubt UW wins out and MIchigan has to win out for it to even matter.

^^^THIS^^^

We have to concentrate on Penn State first

As one of the guys sitting in Crisler two Sundays ago wondering why, with only about 5:00 left to play, we weren't seeing Blake McLimans and the rest of the bench getting some garbage minutes; I think we would be foolish to look past the Nittany Lions.

They are terrible, but wanting to avoid a winless conference season is a powerful motivator. One game at a time.

We own...Penn State. Now make it happen.

Tiebreaker

Here's the tiebreaker:

http://www.bigten.org/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/110512aac.html

It doesn't look good.  If we're tied with just IU at the end, it goes to record against the next best team and then working your way down.  If they get to MSU (or OSU assuming IU wins) then we lose.

If it's Wisconsin involved, we lose (as would IU).

If both, then we're 3rd as you'd use head to head first, which puts Wisky #1.  Then the same procedures as above for IU.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's just for seeding, right? If Wisconsin loses one more game (I'm guessing at MSU) and Michigan wins out, we share the championship with Indiana.

I know we got a share last year because we split with MSU and Ohio, and they got a share too. But since Wisconsin has the lead in the series don't they break the tie? Can somone look into this? I don't wanna celebrate until I know for a fact we control our fate...

It's all about seeding. 

It's all about seeding.  Head-to-head has nothing to do with the final standings.  You get a share of the conference title as long as you're at least tied with the top team in the conference.

It was the same rule in football before we got divisions and a title game.  In 2000, we shared the conference title with the 2 teams that beat us.

B10 Title solely based on record

The B10 title is solely based on record.  If Mich, IU, and Wisco all tied, Wisco would be the #1 seed in the B10 Tourney but all 3 would be regular season champs.  Wisco only had to play IU and Michigan once which made their schedule much easier than ours or Indiana's.

^this

As far as I'm concerned, if we win the B1G Tittle game, great, but I'd almost rather be well rested and make a run for the National Championship instead. Both tournaments will be hell to win and we already proved we can hold our own against the rest of the Big Ten. The only positive I see is if Indiana, MSU or us wins the B1G tournament, then I believe they're/we're a guarenteed one seed.

If 4 teams share identical conference records at the end of the regular season, all 4 would share the Big Ten title. Anything to the contrary is news to me.

Thank God. Ain't no way ohio was gonna beat them in bloomington.

Just win out guys and it's ours. Thankfully the two toughest games left are at home. But they CAN NOT take ANYONE lightly. Not penn state, not purdue, not anyone. 

We all remember what purdue did last year. That is a trap game being on the road. Just take care of business the rest of the way guys.

I will say Wisco screwed with us but they also did help by handing Indiana one of their three losses.

If Wisco loses that game we'd be in hot water right now. I know we should have gotten that win but I am happy we are in control of our own destiny.

Now have to handle PSU because they took it to us in Crisler and can beat us if we don't bring our A game.

As of this moment, my (relatively optimistic) mind believes that we are even money to win (a share of) the BIG regular season title. In all likelihood we would have to win out but it is always great to control your own destiny while also having home court advantage (for the key games).

Wisconsin also plays next

Wisconsin also plays next week @ MSU, who will hopefully be pissed off from losing to Michigan on Sunday. Anything can happen, especially with Wisconsin, but I don't see them coming out of Breslin with a win. Which will put them at 5 losses for the season, taking them out of the B1G championship (unless crazy things happen).

We control our destiny, no doubt about it. If M wins out, we'll be tied with Indiana at 14-4, everyone else will have five losses or more.

Yet Again...

....Trevor Mbakwe uses his own coach to celebrate, and all is right with the world for the time being...

The funny thing about this game - statistically, Minnesota loses the shooting battle in terms of overall efficiency, but talk about timely shooting, and it's all Gophers. They deserve this celebration  as it helps my alma mater.

I'm not convince that Indiana isn't going to lose to Ohio State before they make thier way to Ann Arbor.  After that we just have to hope little brother takes care of Wisconsin at home and we won't have to worry about all this tiebreaker stuff.  That is of course assuming we take care of business.

We've still got a lot of work to do but it is great to control everything. Can't wait until the weekend.

 

Beat Penn State! And F Ben Brust!

 

We have total control over our overall NCAA seed as well. If we won out we would have beaten MSU, Indiana and then something along the lines of Illinois, MSU and Indiana again in the BTT if we were the #2 BTT seed. That's a lot to ask...but if it happened it would give us the best resume in college basketball. Next two weeks are gonna be crazy.

I don't know why there is such confusion about the "tiebreaker"

Treat it as football before the last two years, and seeding in the Big Ten Tournment = Rose Bowl. But shared titles still existed.

I won't consider Michigan as having had "breaks even out" until the Wolverines throw up a desperation heave with the clock running out and win a game.  Actually, the basketball gods still owe the Wolverines from a couple of years ago, too.
