Update after Minnesota/Illinois wins. The Minnesota upset helped us a smidge. Improved 3 scenarios seed number.

So we're stuck playing Thursday if there's 3 road wins (including vs IU)on a single B1G weekend? I like those odds.

Is there a scenario that would get us a double bye even if we lose to Michigan?

Highest I can get us is a 6 with a loss. We’d likely be the 8.

I’m not worried at all about the double bye  or what seed in the BTT they get I only care they beat Michigan to finish tied for 2nd for the year.    Missing your starting 5 year pg and starting 1-4 in conference to finish tied for 2nd would be big.   Especially for a program that hasn’t finished that high in a while (ducks with you)

A desperate Michigan team coming into Assembly Hall on the last day of the regular season after rolling over in previous home game. Should be fun

I like how every team we play is either "desperate," "hungry," or "pissed," or some combination of the three.

Michigan should feel the same way.  If we don’t fit the “desperate,” “hungry,” or “pissed” role after getting stomped by Iowa in our house and being TJD’s last home game then we should pack it up now.

I would think Michigan would fit that description being on the wrong side of the bubble. However, we were once that team and tucked tail.

Good luck to everyone's retinas....

Nah, screw that.  I'm on a business trip next week Monday through Thursday.  I need the double bye so I don't miss our game

Senior night. Race, TJD's last game at Assembly. I think we come out on fire

I didn't like their resume prior to the Minnesota loss but know that didn't match what the committee would actually have thought.  Do wonder how often a team has made the tournament with 4 quad 3 losses.

Probably not many but it’s been done before.  I would have to go back and look at some stuff.   I know Arizona st had 4 bad losses one of the years they made the first 4 and there was one year where Providence lost a bunch of bad games early but figured it out and was a tourney team at the end of the year.   That might of been same year it got cancelled though
