1. Iowa wins out
2. Purdue loses at OSU, at MSU, and home to Illinois
3. MSU loses at Wisc, wins home against Purdue, and loses at Indiana

May as well dream big!
 




I saw that as well, but thought the chances of Illinois beating PU were greater than OSU beating Wisky....
 




At 4 or 5, we play Wiscy before the final. 2,3 or 6 is what we want. 2 is out of the question, 3 would require MSU and Purdue losing out and us winning out, otherwise, we lose tie-breaker to Purdue and MSU.
 


I think a 4th place double bye is certainly in play at this point thanks to Michigan State losing to Minnesota tonight. That happens if:

Iowa wins out
Michigan State loses 2 games out of @Wisconsin @Indiana and Purdue

At this point Michigan State certainly loses @Wisconsin...

The 3 seed is going to be really tough. Certainly still in play though.

Unfortunately a 4 seed means you play the 5 seed and then Wisconsin. Probably not ideal

Didn't realize MSU lost to Minnesota. That certainly gets the ball rolling in the right direction.

The only game i wouldn't necessarily pick is Illinois over purdue, and that one is pretty close. It's unlikely that they will all go our way, but individually they all look like they could.

It was a crazy game. Michigan State fouled TWICE late while Minnesota was shooting a 3. The second one was with 2 seconds left and the Gopher made the shot which tied the game. Minnesota missed the 4 point free throw which sent it to overtime. Valentine and Trice couldnt hit a three to save their lives in OT and Minnesota won by like 8.

Another thing. If all of this happens, we want OSU to tie with Purdue and MSU. If they do, we will play Purdue in our first game, then the winner of Maryland Indiana the second game. OSU and MSU will both be on Wisconsin's side where we want them.

If OSU loses to Penn State, they will finish 1 game behind Purdue and MSU and we will have to play them in our first game. We are much better off playing Purdue than OSU.
 






If Iowa wins out there is a very good chance we are the 3 or 4 seed and don't play until Friday. But we have to win out.
