Boie just missed.  Penn State with a big win.

[BGVille Hoosierfan 2,913]

Looks like the double bye comes down to IU beating Michigan and Penn State beating Maryland. I’d say it’s a 50% chance of happening.

Wildcats lose on senior night, both in Lexington and Chicago!

[RaceToTheTop 26,386]

Flipping to Texas/TCU.  Texas coming back but still down 5.

[Uspshoosier 46,455]

Michigan only team that still has a chance to share the B1G title with Purdue 

[RaceToTheTop 26,386]

Third straight loss for Northwestern, isn't it?  Lose at Rutgers and end the regular season with four straight L's.

[Uspshoosier 46,455]

If Illinois beats Michigan tomorrow 7 teams will be tied for second heading into the last games lol.   Sparty would of made it 8 teams if they would of gotten to play Minny 

[RaceToTheTop 26,386]

Anyone feel bad that Michigan State really doesn't have a chance at the double bye since at best they can finish at 11-8 since the Minnesota game isn't going to be made up?

Me neither.

Realistic shot IU can still get the double bye...insane. I can't freaking wait for the Big Ten and NCAA Tournament. It's going to be nuts this year.

Rutgers would also need to win to be in the tie, wouldn't they?

This looks like the simplest way for it to happen but there are other scenarios. In at least one, IU can actually end up the 2 seed: need to win, and need Nebraska and Rutgers to win over the weekend.

Yeah but they play Minny so I just went ahead and give them the win

Well, yeah.  But it is March.

Separately:

It is possible that 11 teams will finish .500 or better in Big Ten play.

It is possible that Illinois could get a double bye.  It is also possible that they will have to play in the play in games on Wednesday.

TCU win over Texas.

Now....MOUNTAIN WEST TIME

[Uspshoosier 46,455]

12th outright Big 12 title for Kansas in 17 years

North Carolina wouldn't even be sniffing the NCAA if they weren't North Carolina.

If I’m figuring this correctly, the most efficient double bye with Indiana as a 3 seed is if:

Michigan beats Illinois.

Rest of Big10 finishes as predicted (Indiana over Michigan, Rutgers over Minnesota, Purdue over Wisconsin, Michigan St over Ohio St, Iowa over Nebraska, Wisconsin over Minnesota, Maryland over Penn State, Purdue over Illinois, Rutgers over Northwestern). Northwestern beating Rutgers would kick Indiana out of the double bye.

A double bye and a 4 seed for Indiana if:

Indiana beats Michigan, Maryland loses to Penn State, and rest of Big10 finish as predicted.

Or (less likely), Nebraska upsets Iowa and the rest plays out as predicted.

If Michigan beats Illinois and Indiana beats Michigan (after their performance against Iowa this is a bold prediction), then Indiana is a 3 seed and out of Purdue’s side of the bracket…barring a whole lot of rather surprising upsets…and even then, I’m not sure it changes anything for Indiana.
