Meanwhile, looks like the two teams in discussion here are going to go the wire.  Penn State had a 19 point lead, down to 5 on Rutgers with Rutger going to the line at the under 4.

Rutgers isn’t the same team without Mag.  If they keep losing and get closer to the bubble with a non con sos in the 300’s they could be in trouble

This conference...

 

Yesterday, I saw MSU was up 96-89 and figured they won...nope. Saw Wisconsin was up 3 with only seconds left and thought they'd win as well...nope. Penn State was up 19 early in the second half and now they're behind. 

Nittany Lions with no field goals in the last 9 minutes.

KenPom projected final records (assuming no make up of Minnesota/Michigan State)

  1. Purdue 14.5 - 5.5
  2. Indiana 12.4 - 7.6 
  3. Maryland 12.1 - 7.9
  4. Northwestern 12.0 - 8.0
  5. Michigan 11.7 - 8.3
  6. Rutgers 11.5 - 8.5
  7. Iowa 11.1 - 8.9
  8. Illinois 10.9 - 9.1
  9. Michigan St 10.3 - 8.7
  10. Wisconsin 9.1 - 10.9
  11. Penn St 8.9 - 11.1
  12. Nebraska 8.6 - 11.4
  13. Ohio St 4.7 - 15.3
  14. Minnesota 1.5 - 17.5

IU wins two, they will have a double bye.  Very unlikely if they lose one they will win tiebreakers at 12-8.  Lose both and they'll play in either the 7/10 game or 8/9 game.

Sad news from out near my neck of the woods. Holland was not only a good coach, but a pretty classy guy. He took UVA to the Final Four in 1981, when a certain team from Bloomington won the title. He also beat a certain team from Bloomington to reach the 1984 Final Four (but we won't talk about that...)

Alzheimer's sucks.
