I know if Maryland loses tomorrow RU is the 7 seed. But I think I heard there another scenario if Wisconsin loses and an outcome of one other game. Anybody know what it is?

I hope Maryland loses. I think if Wisconsin beats Iowa then we also end up as 7 seed and play Indiana
Otherwise it’s Sparty in 8/9 game at noon which I hate plus Sparty will be desperate for ncaa bid.

we root for Penn State and that game is 7 tomorrow, if Wisky wins early then it will not matter, RU is the 7

Indiana is the 10 in most scenerio unless they beat Purdue and Mich beats MSU

If Wisconsin wins and/or MD loses .. RU finishes 7th. Which would be very very favorable for us. We really need that 7 seed.

The 7 seed in the conference tournament gives us Indiana who is really reeling and we absolutely own. And then Illinois awaits the winner, who we have always played tough and have the personnel to have a good chance in that game. So I really like our conference tournament path at the 7 seed.

At the 8 seed. Its a wildly harder path. Facing a desperate and hot MSU team who has always been a kryptonite for RU. And then the #1 seed Michigan awaits who we have never beaten. In fact, between the two Michigan schools we have one all-time win. So obviously we don't want to be there.

Does that mean we have to root for TTFP? I can't. I simply can't.

I want to be the 7 seed for no other reason than their game is at night and 8/9 is midday and I have too many work calls to deal with and want to lock in on the game live. And the 8/9 winner has to play in the day on Friday too.
