I feel like that record, which would included multiple ranked team wins, ends up better than a 5 seed.

I did some "conservative" prognosticating earlier today:
14-5 Current overall record; 7-2 conference
2-2 Next four games, with three of the four on the road
5-2 Final seven games, with four of the seven at home; 14-6 conference
2-1 BTT

It changes based on results as the season progresses, which is why you see people here root for teams we've played to win (i.e. Marquette, KSU, and even Mizzou vs Auburn - although, in that instance, if they both somehow lost that would be ideal). So what was a Quad 2 loss at the time, could become a Quad 1 loss by the end of the year and vice versa.I've wondered this for a while, so hopefully someone can answer.
I know the definition of the different quad wins, but is it determined when the game is actually played or is it at the end of the season looking back based on the overall record?

In regards to Henson, it feels like there was a bigger gap between the top teams and the rest of the field back then. I would guess in general, top 10 teams lost less back then than they do now, but that's just a guess with no data to back it up.
Agreed. In a word:In regards to Henson, it feels like there was a bigger gap between the top teams and the rest of the field back then. I would guess in general, top 10 teams lost less back then than they do now, but that's just a guess with no data to back it up.
Edit - Quick small sample fact check of Top 10 teams losses by year ():
1981-82: 35
1982-83: 42
1983-84: 38
2017-18: 54
2018-19: 53

Since the NCAA plays roughly 3-4 more games a year now than back then, you can probably add 8-10 losses to the 80s years then so really not much of a difference.
That looks very fair. 14-6 in this year's B1G will still have an outside shot at a co-championship, IMO. But I would really love to go 15-5 as that seems almost certain to get a co-championship, with an outside shot at a solo title.
From a championship perspective, the game against Wisconsin in a week seems by far the most important. I don't know why, but Wisco just feels like the most likely team to put together a 4-loss B1G season this year.
When you enter, there will be someone at the door to look at your negative test or vaccine card. So far, I've only gotten a polite glance. The negative test has to be within 72 hours of event start time (so don't get one in the morning three days before an evening game!). Once you're inside, the ushers have giant signs asking you to wear a mask. The PA reminds you as well. I wear a mask all day every day, so they don't bother me. However, for those whom it does bother, having a bottle of water or a package of popcorn is a perfectly legitimate excuse for not wearing one.Have a question and I hope this would be the right place. Going to my first game here in a few weeks. What is the current mask policy for the games? I had trouble finding a concrete answer online, but from the crowd shots it didn’t seem heavily enforced if there was one.
Also I saw a press release stating you are required to show vaccine cards or negative test in order to enter. Is that accurate? Thanks for any help just wanting to know what to look forward too.
I agree, Trent. Where’s your name? You BELONG on this list. This is a travesty…
TJD is a joke ..................overrated in ALL aspects of BB.............................I agree, Trent. Where’s your name? You BELONG on this list. This is a travesty…
woof! total flippin' joke
If you can’t join ‘em, beat ‘em.
If you look at the national stats on blocked shots (+ prominent teams), you can easily see the simple-minded way this list was put together. To recognize Trent, they’d have to do the heavy lifting of watching games and talking to coaches, smh.TJD is a joke ..................overrated in ALL aspects of BB.............................
Trent is deserving of 1st team B1G and likely B1G defensive POTY..........................jmho

Yep. The competition was just different back then. Some teams were more or less an easy W every year.Agreed. In a word:
