IU amazingly is in control of their own destiny for Big Ten title if they win last two matches. Hoosiers are in a tough position though for NCAA Tourney seeding.  Even if they win last five games (2 regular season, 3 Big Ten Tourney) and pull the double, they could well still be hosting in first round on Thursday without a bye in NCAA Tournament. In decent shape to make it now. However, it will take a miracle to get customary top-16 and bye regardless of what they do. 

In other words adding a one or two trophies to Big Ten case is well within reach. Making a long run in tourney will likely feature most brutal draw ever. They will have to play four games instead of three to reach College Cup in Louisville with three of them on the road.

If we win and MSU loses on Tuesday we can even wrap up everything with a game to go.  Kinda crazy how the season started

Hopefully we aren’t the cardiac kids in this one. It seems the last couple we coughed up a lead and we’re lucky enough to get the go ahead late in regulation.  Boys really have a lot to play for! Get that W

Nope. PSU is at 13 points with one match left on Sunday. Even if IU gets to 14 with this game that is not enough if IU loses and PSU wins finale. IU does control its own destiny but has to win BOTH games to guarantee it. They can clinch at least third with a win.

You can be eliminated tomorrow night with an MSU win and a loss or tie.

[Dave from Dayton 3,893]

IU @ NW has started...not yet broadcast as far as I know.  other game at 1:54

[Hoosierfan1901 7,271]

MSU missed the 1 and 1!!

OSU beats MSU, 3-2

[Dave from Dayton 3,893]

IU vs NW 0 - 0 at 35 1st.  On BTN now. 

[Aaron 4,378]

22 year NCAA Tourney streak is over for Maryland. They will be the team not making Big Ten Tourney. With their talent do not want them in a 1-8 matchup with that streak on the line and now no one will have to deal with it.

OSU and Brian Maisonneuve did IU a major solid tonight. MSU talent wise is easily the best team in conference and were easily the better team and got unlucky. Buckeyes the ultimate robbery tonight.

A win or tie tonight puts team in pretty good shape and even a loss keeps you in contention with some help. A win clinches the two seed at minimum. 

[Hoosierfan1901 7,271]

MSU missed a wide open goal with 20 seconds left, it was pretty bad

[Hoosierfan1901 7,271]

When was the last time a preseason first finished last in the Big 10?

[Hoosierfan1901 7,271]

By my count, we have a 7-1 shot advantage so far

[Class of '66 Old Fart 87,790]

But we trail 1-0 after NW just scored.
