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.

B1G Seeding
We both win the conference, but they will get the #1 line in the B1G tournament- I do believe.

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.

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.

You win some you lose some
If you haven't figured out Bo Ryan made a deal with the devil yet...
I'm not mad at the hoops deities. Ohio State could have easily gone the other way, and I would MUCH rather lose to Wisconsin.

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,
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.

you are right on there...

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.
