By now everybody knows that IU has clinched a tie for the Big Ten championship.  But, guys, the season isn't over.  We have two games left to play against Iowa and Maryland and there is a potential disaster awaiting around the bend.  We win either game and we win outright.  We lose both games and there is a high probability that we end up in a five way tie for first.  We have 3 losses and MSU, Maryland, Iowa and Wisconsin have 5.  However, it we lose two and all four win out, which is possible because they don't play each other, we all end with 5 losses and in a tie which will go to tiebreakers for the Big Ten tourney seeding.  Let's hope that we don't end up in that situation.

 

On the bottom of the pile Minnesota and Rutgers have clinched spots on the first day of the Big Ten tourney.  Northwestern, Penn State and Nebraska (with 10 losses each) and Illinois (with 11 losses) are fighting it out to avoid playing on the first day.  Two of the four are going to fill in the last two spots on the bottom of the bracket.

 

Who would have thought that Northwestern has a chance for 20 wins.

 

This should be a very interesting week.
