I think it is totally about their last game and tournament performance.

Their last game is Marquette at home and then who knows who they will draw for the conference tournament.

I think our ceiling is a low 2 seed.. a 3 seed seems most plausible. We just don't have the wins and losses to Wake Forest, UNLV and Penn State just really really hurt.

wouldnt have the wins yet but winning out would mean a win against Maryland and if we were to get a 2 seed we would have to beat Michigan or Purdue in the 8 vs 9 game, 4 seed Maryland and would definitely would need to beat Msu at some point in the BTT just to be in conversation for a 2 seed

the year we went to the championship game we shared the title and got a 5 seed

[Alford Bailey 12,355]

I'd be real happy with a 3 seed.

[coonhounds 8,793]

Maryland

it was a out of conference game.
Edit. No the final big ten game to share the title? I drove to Bloomington to watch title game lol. Big mistake

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Maryland has been in the B1G just 2 years now

[coonhounds 8,793]

big title final not championship lol. Should have figured

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Our only trip to the B1G championship game was 2001 vs Iowa.

Looked it up the game i was referring to was the 2002 final game vs northwestern for share of the title. The iowa final was at my cousins that was a fun game that ended sadly

Also if I am reading that bracket correctly.....We need to get to a #2 seed in MW or South to play in STL. Which would geographically be the closest site.

I could be wrong, but I don't believe the locations for the first two rounds are set in stone and tied to seeds.  For example, if Oregon jumps Xavier for a 2 seed, they wouldn't go to St. Louis instead of Spokane where Lunardi currently has them.  They would still play in Spokane because it's the closest site for them.

 

So we could possibly be a 3 seed and play in St. Louis, but we would have to pass either Xavier or MSU on the S Curve.

I agree, and think we will end up a 3 or 4 seed. I don't get the Kentucky love, but ESPN loves them. Can't wait for March Madness!
