Iowa Can Still Get the B1G 6 Seed

[JonDMiller]

If they win on Saturday and Purdue beats Minnesota, Iowa is the 6

If Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois all win on Saturday, Iowa wins the tiebreaker and would be the six seed.

I think the 6 is the best spot for us for 2 reasons.

1. We would most likely play NW now right? (due to Neb winning today)
2. Would this give us a better chance at Wisc 2nd round?

6 seed, 9-9 in the best conference in the nation a possibility and, right now, I'd say there is a greater chance of us not making the tournament than us making it.

Just beat Nebraska and let the chips fall where they lay.

Id actually be surprised if Minnesota wins at Purdue

It's always nice to have a backup plan. Does anyone know what time those games are?

If Wisconsin wins @Michigan St, Michigan beats Indiana, and Illinois beats Ohio St, there is tie at the top between IU, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Which one of those would be the 3 seed? Or if Ohio St wins and there are 4 tied for first, who is the 3?

Does a win vs Nebraska give us our 4th highest win total since Mr. Davis left? Our program has been terrible the last decade or so.

7th seed plays at 5:30, 6 seed plays 30 mins after

Minnesota vs. Purdue is right before the Iowa game on Saturday at 11:00. I will be watching the double header.

BTN just had the "current" bracket with Iowa as a 6 with first round against NE and second against Mich.

 

[WindsorHawk]

Nebraska's RPI will improve. ISU will move back into the top 50 with their win tonight. Purdue lost and aren't going to make it to 9-9. It was a pretty good night IMO.

[WindsorHawk]

I agree. Minnesota has now lost 7 straight on the road in conference play.

Id actually be surprised if Minnesota wins at Purdue

 

[bcl20]

Purdue has played well lately. I would guess they win that one.

 

[WindsorHawk]

That's odd because at this moment NW is 11th in the conference. That should be our game as of right now.

The train that left Chicago at 3pm, doing 70mph...wait, wrong question...

I was meaning the question that Windsor answered below you but knowing your answer is helpful too.

IU would be 5-3 (1-1, 2-0, 1-1, 1-1)
Wisc would be 4-3 (1-1,1-0, 1-1, 1-1)
OSU 4-4(1-1,1-1,1-1,1-1)
Mich 3-4 (1-1, 1-1, 1-1, 0-1)
MSU 3-5 (1-1, 1-1, 0-2, 1-1)

Any idea what our RPI is after this evenings events?

 

[ssckelley]

Nebraska's RPI will improve. ISU will move back into the top 50 with their win tonight. Purdue lost and aren't going to make it to 9-9. It was a pretty good night IMO.

Neither of those happened and Iowa dropped a spot to 77.
