Updated for Nebraska doing the unthinkable going into Kohl without their best playerand winning 5 on 8!!! Illinois will now officially be the 1 or 3 seed. Beat Iowa and the Big Ten Championship is yours!!! Check out that 50 percentage point swing. On the flip side, Nebrasaka's win puts them a Minnesota loss away from the 13 seed. Go figure.
Current projections for the BTT considering kenpom win probabilities. So far the 6th seed and seeds 9 thru 12 have been clinched.
To summarize:
1: Wisconsin or Illinois
2: Pur, or Wisc
3: Pur or ILL
4-5: Iowa/Rut
6: OSU
7-8: MSU/Mich
9: Indiana
10: Maryland
11: Penn State
12: Northwestern
13-14: Minn/Neb
Our Illini are either a 1 or 3 seed. A win over Iowa cements the 1. Purdue owns tiebreakers over all teams close to them so they are locked in as a 2 or 3 seed.
As for Matchups, it will be:
1 seed vs Winner of Mich/MSU v Ind
2 seed vs Winner of Mich/MSU v Maryland
3 seed vs Winner of OSU v (Winner of PSU v Minn/Neb)
4 seed vs Winner of Iowa/Rut v (Winner of NW v Minn/Neb)
A win against Iowa and we're the 1 seed. A loss to Iowa and Iowa gets the 4 seed with us dropping to the 3. In the scenario we fall to a 3 seed the likely opponent will be OSU. I think we likely want to avoid that, so let's just go out and win that Big Ten title!
