All Seeding Scenarios









So we might not know our seed until Sunday at 1:30 after the Illinois OSU game.
This is true. But I'll be cheering for Purdue and Illinois this weekend. Of course, the Hawks need to take care of their own business on Saturday to make this mean anything.

GO HAWKS!!!
 




Winning claims at least the 7 seed. If the Goophers flop on their face again, then 6 it is.

Not necessarily. If Iowa, Minny and Illinois all win and all finish at 9-9 Iowa gets the 6 seed.

Iowa is 2-1 against MN and ILL

ILL is 1-2 against Iowa and MN

Minn is 2-2 against ILL and MN.
 




Um, he said at least, and he is correct.

I wasnt disputing the fact that a win tomorrow locks up at least a 7 seed for the Hawks in Chicago. I was merely pointing out that there is another way to get the 6 seed besides having the Gophers lose at Purdue.
 


I want Iowa alone in 6th so I want Minnesota and Illinois to lose. This probably has us playing a Michigan school in the 2nd round of the BTT but I want sole possession of 6th place.

I will be watching the MN/PU and IA/NE double header tomorrow. If Minnesota does win then I will be an even bigger Ohio State fan on Sunday. I prefer to play Ohio State over either Michigan school in day 2 of the BTT.
 


Based on the schedule, I hope to hell we get the 6 seed. It will be nice having the last game each day, especially rounds 1 and 2. That way I don't have call in sick to work haha
 


Here's the cheering edict ...
Iowa (of course, x 20 would be nice over the fuskers)
Indy over Michigan (tough on the road)
Illannoy over OSU (very unlikely)
MSU over NwU (check)
Purdue over Minny (not quiete sure if necessary but just for good measure; 50/50)

That allows Wisky (assuming they beat PSU) to get the 3 seed. That's who we should ALL want Iowa playing round 2.

Asking for outright 6th seed, hoping for Illannoy to lose, saying you want Mich or MSU or OSU as the 3 are all the same as saying you can't wait to watch Iowa get home court in the NIT. Hawks MUST WIN the second round game to notch a quality W against a tournament team on a nuetral floor. Mich, MSU or OSU will thump the Hawks in round 2, especially without Gessell (Burke, Appling, Craft will abuse Clemmons / Oglesby).

If you want Iowa to have a chance to dance, you be cheering for Wisky to get the 3. That's the only feasible W for Iowa out of the possible matchups.

If Minnesota wins, you need to be an Illannoy fan so we can get the 6. If MN wins and IL loses, we are relegated to the 7.

If we aren't going to end up alone in 6th I don't want to be the 6th seed. I want 7th and play OSU in the 2nd round rather than any school from Michigan. I want to be able to say Iowa was the only 9-9 team. If I can't say that then I want to get the best match up in the 2nd round of the BTT...Ohio State IMO.

I can see wanting to be alone in 6th over anything else. But if Minnesota wins you should really want Illinois to win because that gives us a 2nd round matchup with Wisconsin... I think.
 




Yep, but it would take a miracle Illinois winning at Ohio State to get Wisconsin to the 3 seed and Michigan losing.
