I wanted to homer this, but by the way they are playing recently, I am thinking they will do the same thing the football team did...

Way over-achieve in the season and lose to Michigan State. Probably lose to a team like 14 seed Northwestern State at the Big Dance too.

Rough to say without seeing the way the brackets breakout. Right now I'd have a Purdue vs MSU and Iowa vs Maryland semis. I'd lean MSU and Iowa but when 2 of the top 3 is playing like shit it's tough. Just can't see OSU beating Maryland or Michigan beating Iowa based on matchups. Purdue Indiana would be a great game. I lean Purdue on a neutral court. Same with MSU-Wisky, slight lean to MSU. A MSU Iowa final would be intriguing because Iowa is a terrible matchup for MSU but MSU is MSU and it's March... so there's that

I did homer this ... sorry, I don't see Michigan losing. It has less to do with Michigan and more to do with me.

Well obviously Nebraska wins. Benny Parker averaging a triple-double(points, rebounds, blocks) for the tournament.

BOOKMARK IT.

Right now the two best teams in the BIG is UW and MSU while UW is one of the best teams in the country away from home. Iowa and Maryland have dropped significantly. Purdue is the darkhorse in my opinion. Lastly, since this game is within an hour of Indiana's home then that could be a major factor as well.

The order of highest chance of winning as of right now IMO is
MSU
UW
IU
Purdue
Mich
Maryland
Iowa

Michie State

The top 8 seeds almost certainly aren't going to finish the way they look now with so many huge games left. The B10 is intriguing because there are teans in this league that pose nightmares match up wise for other teams even if records are similar. Maybe more so than any other league you really need to see the brackets.

Gophers win 5 games in 5 days right?
