[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1530769, member: 590800"] It should at the very least negate the "whooping" aspect, and the committee will likely treat it as a generic road loss to a likely Tournament team in a gym where no other team has lost all year. Again, I won't set myself up for disappointment (expect the worst, and hope for the best!), but I think many here are underestimating how favorably the committee will see our resume amidst a sea of good-but-not-great teams this year... ... of course, this ALL hinges on us beating at least one of Iowa or OSU. If we lose both, we'd be sitting right at that mediocre seed line many here are predicting. Win one, and I think we move into 7-seed or even 6-seed territory before the BTT. Win both, and our resume looks as strong as most in the Big Ten. [/QUOTE]
