8/9 game is Michigan v Indiana. So Illinois will play the winner of that game.

I feel I should point out I have a surprising amount of joy that Nebraska somehow clawed their way up to second to last.

I think Michigan is in regardless of what happens so I kind of want to play IU to put the final nail.

Ramrod2010 · Mar 6, 2022

I can't believe Rutgers finished 4th.

Miles Leonard · Mar 6, 2022

Actually very happy for Rutgers. Always liked their fight and wish them well whenever they don't play us.

On second thought, Howard will be back. I say bring 'em on!

I have been thinking that too.

Definitely a tough first game for a 1 seed, but to have Boilers, Badgers, Buckeyes and Sparty on the other side of the bracket is well worth it.

This is the Big Ten baby. There are no easy wins. Just ask Wisky.

I wouldn't discount Indiana in that Thursday game. They need that game more than Michigan for NCAA hopes.

I do. Wanna see Juwan Coward’s face after he loses to us again

illini27jake · Mar 6, 2022

Looking forward to an intense 3OT Indiana Michigan game

Fighter of the Nightman · Mar 6, 2022

My preliminary thoughts:

1. I think we take Michigan or Indiana, so I’d selfishly hope it’s Michigan to (A) beat Juwan yet again and (B) free up tickets for Illini fans to once again paint Indy orange!

2. Give me Rutgers over Iowa every time. I know we just swept Iowa and got beat handily at Rutgers, but Iowa is damn scary. I want no part of trying to beat them for a third time.

3. It would be really nice if Wisconsin can make it to the BTT final against us and we could open a can of whoop !!! on our fellow “co-champs”!
