Just saw on CBS that a single conference has never had four of the top 8 seeds in the NCAA tourney. B1G has a great chance of accomplishing that this year.

if we win the B1G tournament we may very well be the 2nd #1, ahead of Baylor and UM/OSU

yah in the replies it was pointed out the next Q1 Wins for a B1G was 8. But yah Nation wide it is Ok State with 10.
Oh yea. That was the game where 27 fouls on Kofi were not called along with at least one flagrant 1 wasn't called.
Lunardi has officially moved Illinois ahead of Michigan and says the 1 seeds are locked in no matter what happens tomorrow.
Does this mean that the B1G has the top 14 teams in SOS? AND, if so, just wow. We have 14 of the top 14, and all 14 of our 14 teams are in the top 14!
That's two touchdowns worth!
if Bama or Ohio st win tomorrow do they replace michigan?
Interesting observation. The top 14 Kenpom SOS are all B1G teams. Oh - scUM is 14th, by the way.

I think we might have locked top 3 in the bracket (maybe Zags, us, Baylor, Michigan/Alabama, if we win; Zags, Baylor, us, OSU/Alabama, if we lose), which means we will not play against Zags until Final
Just was posting the same thing. I love how scUM is 14th.

Curious. Does he have Duke on the 4 or 5 line?
At least now hopefully we won't have any nervous nellies on here worrying about getting a #1 seed, which we had already locked up before the game.
Typically, the Big Ten tournament championship game has no bearing on NCAA tournament seeding
Does Houston bump Okie state back down to a 3 if they win and cowboys lise tonight? I would think so.

Texas should take OK state's position. It might be a discussion between Texas and Houston
Looks like Ohio is going in. Good for them, they impressed me way back in November. Surprised they only finished 5th in the MAC. And I would guess they would be around a 13 or 14 seed so no way we would play them again unless they pull a couple upsets.
And Rick Pitino back in the NCAA Tournament with Iona. I think that's a possible 1v16 game for the Illini.

Ohio wins the MAC, meaning Illinois' complete scheduled consisted of 23 B1G games, non conference games against tourney teams Baylor, Missouri, and Ohio, a borderline tourney team in Duke, the regular season MEAC champ (who had to forfeit their tournament due to COVID) and a team Illinois beat so bad they ended their season.
We whooped his son pretty badly, he can have his turn next.

If you do a round robin with 14 teams, the SOS will be the inverse of their finishes. The difference in the top teams schedule and the last teams schedule is that the top team got to play the #14, while the #14 had to play the #1. So unfair!
