Missing the boat on Dusty May when he would've walked there to take the job in favor of another year of Mike Woodson is a generational bag fumble.

Football providing cover I assume.
Can they play on their home court. There is no way I trust them especially away from home. They are not good against any team with a pulse away from home.
At least they're in the tourney. UNC didn't even make it a few years ago
Correct. If UCLA wins, they would be the 6 and Purdue the 7, meaning that if Indiana won their first BTT game they would meet Purdue
Based on current odds,
Illinois Odds of being a 3 seed: 27.0%.
Illinois Odds of being a 4 seed: 66.0%
Illinois Odds of being a 5 seed: 7%
Wisconsin odds of being a 4 seed: 7%
Wisconsin odds of being a 5 seed: 93%
So yes, even if you consider the 5 v. 12/13 and 6 v 11/14 games to be the 5 and 6 as a 70/30 favorite, your odds of Illinois/Wisconsin as the 4/5 would look something like this right now:
Illinois-Wisconsin: 0.73*0.7 = 51.1%
Illinois-12/13 seed = 19.8%
Illinois - 6 seed = 18.9%
Illinois - 11/14 seed = 8.1%
Wisconsin-12/13 seed= 2.1%
if Purdue capped off this regular season by getting bounced in their first big ten tournament game by Indiana, which would ironically probably lock Indiana into the tournament, and give Indiana the 2-1 season h2h victory, it might be enough for some Purdue fans to lose it.

Is the UCLA/USC game really being preempted by Panama vs Puerto Rico baseball???

It's the World Baseball Classic. Not the worst thing to be pre-empted for.

Man, USC has really turned into slop the last month. I think we broke them.

I think Chad Baker-Mazarra broke them when he didn’t finish the game against Nebraska.
UConn's loss has moved them back into essentially a tie with us for 6th best odds to win the NCAAT. DraftKings even has us slightly ahead now.
Edit: there's some seed prediction baked into these odds (i.e. how easy their path will be), so some of the movement may be about their reduced chances of a 1 seed, but some of it is certainly less optimism about their ability.

Man, I really hope USC doesn't fall out of the top75. They're absolutely terrible, and completely in "just finish the season" mode.
Hope they win one game in the BTT.

Another NW choke job. They were up 3 with 29sec.
Where are we in the chase for St. Louis?
Tennessee State defeats Morehead State 93-67 to win the OVC Tournament Championship. It is the Tigers' third NCAA tournament appearance, their first since 1994. The Tennessee State head coach is late 2000s Duke point guard Nolan Smith.
As a result NW guarantees themselves a bottom 4 B1G finish and will play day 1 of the B1G tourney.

They only have to win 6 games in a row to make the NCAAT. Basically the equivalent of winning the national championship. Good luck.
One other side note — though this may come off as a bit too down the road — but our priority in the B12 is needing Iowa State to lose. They are currently projected as the 5seed in the B12 tournament. If Texas Tech wins, ISU will face Kansas as the 4. If BYU wins, ISU will play Texas Tech as the 4.
It’s close, but IMO Kansas is the slightly more likely team to win in that scenario.
