Alright I was wrong about my comments about not wanting UConn, they don’t even look the same. I still hate the idea of playing against a Dan Hurley coached team but I was wrong

UConn might be the weakest 1 seed in years (if they get there).

Have to figure this opens the door for Florida, assuming they beat Kentucky and win the SEC tourney.
Control their own destiny now I think.
I think their hopes of a 1 seed is done.
LIU wins and clinched a bid even if they lose to Mercyhurst on Tuesday.
LIU gets the NEC bid, giving Illinois a win over a tourney team.
No more non-Q1 losses!
The bracket generator link is not working ?

IL Big Ten Tournament scenarios
Illinois beats Maryland, and Iowa beats Nebraska = Illinois the 3 seed (and most likely faces 6 UCLA or 6 Purdue)
Illinois beats Maryland, and Nebraska beats Iowa = Illinois the 4 seed (and most likely faces 5 Wisconsin)
Illinois loses to Maryland = Illinois the 5 seed (would face 4 Wisconsin if victorious vs 12/13 winner)

Unless the Illini experience a devastating loss at Terrapin, I feel the Illini should be a #2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Thanks to Wisconsin beating PU today, it will be very difficult for the Boilermakers to overtake the Illini's #2 seed, unless they win the BTT.
Having type this, though, let's not take any chances and get revenge on the Badgers in the Quarters.

Lunardi has us as a 2 seed but playing our first two rounds in OKC while he has Houston going to St. Louis for the first two rounds. I'd assume the committee would have those flipped once it gets to the actual bracket reveal.
same can be said about us. at best a 3 seed in big ten and likely 2 seed in ncaa
No? They're currently slated to land the 7seed in BTT.

Higher as in 7th seed vs 4/5 in ncaat

I think he/she meant higher as in larger number numerically. It’s always confusing using “high” or “low” when talking about seeds, haha.

If we get the last 2 seed, does that guarantee Duke in the E8?
If that's what they mean, then the same will apply to us.
No, they'll move teams around on the seed line as necessary to satisfy other requirements.
So if we win against Maryland, we likely face Wisconsin on Friday after the Michigan game?
