If Iowa wins the next 2…

Do they cut down the nets? If Iowa wins at Rutgers and then upsets Michigan at home they can finish no worse than a tie for first place. Maryland and Ohio State both own the tiebreaker over Iowa for BTT seedlings but the Big Ten acknowledges all teams that tie for 1st as regular season champs. It would be a neat accomplishment.

For Iowa to win the Big Ten outright they need both Ohio State and Maryland to lose. Maryland does host Indiana on Friday and Indiana has taken Maryland down earlier in the year. Ohio State losing will be a tougher task as they finish at home against PSU (Thursday) and then at Michigan State on Sunday.

But if Iowa upsets Michigan on Sunday they cut down the nets no matter what, right? Assuming they win at Rutgers.

I just realized that even if Maryland beats Indiana they cannot finish any better than 13-4 while Iowa can finish 14-4.

Need to root like hell for Michigan State or PSU to knock off Ohio State.

can’t overlook Rutgers tonight. Despite their record they have played good teams tough and I’m sure Vivian Stringer will have her team ready.

Oops, I guess Vivian has been on leave.
