I think we'd probably need to win the tournament to get to the four line. That would presumably include a second win over State and a second win over OSU/first win over Purdue. It's hard to see beating MSU alone (beating Nebraska isn't moving the needle) being enough to jump 5 teams, of course presuming the committee's rankings match the matrix.

That isn't an indication of the votes received in this poll but rather a team's highest and lowest ranking achieved throughout the course of the season.  In Virginia's case, they started the season unranked hence the UNR for low and obviously their highest ranking is #1.

OP here, planning my weekend in MSG. Whats the best way to get tickets in Michigan friendly areas for Fri/Sat/Sun if we make it? Also where is everyone meeting ??? I'm staying at the Hyatt Grand Central.  I'm sure we'll have an official roll call later this week.

Just like last year, I like our chances to advance far in this tourney. Whether we win the big ten tourney or not I like our chances as a 4-6 seed in this field with this team. Go BLUE!!
