Does a 4th Q1 road win lock us up?

Almost, I'd say, short of losing badly at MN. Maybe the best comeback of the Pike era? Incredible team defense and especially 1-1 defense of Caleb on Pickett and just enough offense. And while we all saw what Simpson could do against IU early in the season, we really got to see what he can do tonight. Great games by Spencer, Cliff and Caleb too, especially since Paul had maybe his worst game ever (0/2/1 with 5 fouls - in other low scoring games, at least he was assist leader) and Hyatt didn't play well either. Great contributions off the bench by Oskar and even Wolf on D at least. Wow, just wow.

Still want the Minny game just to make sure.

Win at Minny locks us in

But even a q4 loss probably wouldnt knock us out....wouldn't want to find out so just win Thursda
If we lose to Minny but beat Northwestern, would you regard as a lock? Not that I want to find out but curious as to your opinion. Thank you.

11 total B1G wins, including the tourney, has always been a lock. The question is whether 10 is enough and now with 4 Q1 road wins, which is an outstanding stat very few programs have, it makes 10 better than a 50-50 proposition to me (thinking 80/20 in), but like everyone else, let's just beat MN, so it's not an issue.

Dayton probably clinched,
Win Thursday punch ticket for main bracket,
Win next Sunday & a 7 seed likely..
Get to CBS Saturday in the BTT and we could be back to looking at a 6 or even a 5

To reply to your heading: YES! This locked us into the NCAA tourney.

Go away. Your opinion is on par with Gump
Why is mugrat such a douche?
Is it TDS? There must be a history that has nothing to do with basketball.

Let's win both and with things falling into place could still be 4 seed and have the double bye.

A douche gives up on their team in the middle of a game, calls out coaches and players and doesn’t care if they dance
