Wait...they haven't played the Big Ten Tournament already? They played it a month before everyone else last year. Remember that?

Initial gut prediction

Illinois over NW
Rutgers over Nebraska

Indiana over OSU
Penn St over Minnesota
Iowa over Illinois
Maryland over Rutgers

Wisky over Maryland
Indiana over MSU
Iowa over Michigan
Purdue over PSU

Wisky over Indiana
Purdue over Iowa

Purdue over Wisky

Of course I'll be completely wrong

Right now ( barring insanity in other league tourneys) I think the top 7 in the B10 are in, winner of OSU/IU gets in and I still think Nebraska has an outside shot if they get to the title game . Everyone else needs to win the tournament

Nebraska will be lucky to beat Rutgers. We’ve been shit outside of Lincoln

If Nebraska makes it to the Quarterfinals I'll amazed. Hell, if they just beat Rutgers I'll be happy.

An NIT invite will make me happy at this point. But even then I don't know that they would accept it.

Ok, but hasn't IU been crap in this tourney historically?

I just checked and they're 12-21 all time and were the runner up in 2001...

If Illinois can get by NW, maybe they beat Iowa. Lack of post players kills their rebounding.

Watch out for the Hoosiers

Iowa is a bad matchup for illinois because of the post but they've been playing like shit for 6 weeks so it's certainly possible

MSU has been crap against IU this year. Don’t understand how we can go 5-1 against Purdue, Wisconsin, Rutgers, and Michigan but 0-2 against IU.

You didn't want to include Rutgers in that, but point taken. Honestly, sometimes strange stuff happens, and that's how I see Sparty vs IU...and to be fair, you guys lost to Illinois in that 3 game losing streak...so I wouldn't read too much into that loss at home...just timing and strange happenings

You are correct, I was meaning Maryland but my brain switched the two.

3 out of the 4 years since the tournament expanded to 14 teams after the addition of Maryland and Rutgers, at least 1 of the teams that has won on Wednesday has also won on Thursday. With the way Iowa has played down the stretch, I think they're more likely to have trouble on Thursday than Maryland.

If NW beats Illinois I think they've got a good shot to beat Iowa. Illinois is just a great matchup for Iowa so Iowa would have to really really play awful for that game to be close . I was really happy we avoided a potential matchup with Rutgers . That's a bad matchup for Iowa

Penn State falls just short and Sparty loses in the 1st round of the NCAA tourney... this is all obviously wrong...but what the hell
