Who are we rooting for in todays B1G games?

[SleepingGiantIsAwake]

Apologies in advance if already posted, I’m slowly coming back to watching games and reading the board after Thursdays punch in the nuts and fork in the eye.

 

[fatsam98]

Lol there's 3 threads going already.

Maryland
Indiana
Minnesota

 

[SleepingGiantIsAwake]

Thanks! I should have looked before I posted. Just taking small steps to untraumatize.

I’ll be there tonight strongly cheering for the entire team, and standing to truly thank the seniors for all they have given to the program. Love this team the program.

Wouldnt a mn win hurt our Q1 v Wisc. I guess worst scenario is Wisc win a squeaker. They win and net drops.

Lol there's 3 threads going already.

Maryland
Indiana
Minnesota

 

[fatsam98]

Wisconsin is a fellow bubble team

 

[ScarletDave]

Wisconsin tough choice. Want them to win so they become a Q1 win for us. Want them to lose to stay off the bubble/in Dayton .. tough call

 

[Shell21]

damn penn state making a run. terps can’t guard the 3

 

[biazza38]

Terps up 4. 3:20 to go
Ugh

 

[motel00]

Maryland so bad on the road. This is going to be a nailbiter

 

[biazza38]

Wtf Maryland
PSU down 1

 

[SBP]

Crap! PSU pulls it out at buzzer

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

PSU, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska for B1G seeding and RU.

Maryland, Indiana and Minnesota for whatever NCAA discussions are in place.

 

[tfio]

What’s the highest big ten seed we can possibly still get?

 

[ScarletDave]

8 way tie for 2nd place if we beat Minnesota

 

[Tango Two]

What’s the highest big ten seed we can possibly still get?

6th

 

[Tango Two]

Play around with different outcomes for seeding:

mred's Big 10 MBB Tournament Seeding Tiebreaker

Big 10 Conference Men's Basketball Tournament Seeding and Tiebreakers

Because nobody FN boxes out!!! Like we didn't on the put back vs MInny, Find a man and body him and they win

 

[TommyGunn_rivals157283]

Penn state stealing our bid.

Put down the crack pipe!!!

Psu will definitely get in now if Rutgers loses to Northwestern.
Write it down as a lock.

They are hardly a lock at the moment

 

[bac2therac]

Do people actually know the definition of word lock

It’s crazy isn’t it!

 

[RUJMM78]

Purdue choking at crunch time because of poor guard play.They lead 65-51 with four minutes remaining.

 

[ScarletDave]

Illinois the next one up

What the heck happened to the Big Ten. There’s madness and then there’s this

 

[BlockR]

Psu just completed a 16 pt comeback against ranked northwestern and a 12 pt comeback against ranked Maryland.
If Ruthers loses vrs northwestern, barring a semi final run in B10 tournament, they are NIT bound.

Purdue looking very shakey indeed! I would not be surprised to see them get bounced before the sweet 16

Beating two ranked teams in final 3 games?

 

[Mr Magoo_rivals90743]

The bottom line is this. If we can win one of Minnesota, NW at home, or a first round B1G tourney game (or possibly 2), we deserve nothing but the NIT. We already blew the easiest chance on poor execution, poor coaching and perhaps over confidence. Hopefully, we learned from it. It’s all in our hands.

 

[motorb54]

You people do know the entire season counts, not just the last two weeks.

 

[TommyGunn_rivals157283]

I think we need 20 wins. Limping to the finish line with other bubble teams heating up is not a good recipe for RU

 

[ScarletDave]

Look at PSUs schedule before calling them a lock please. They’ve beaten no one good except Maryland and NW, both at the buzzer

 

[bac2therac]

Top 25 rankings are irrelevant

 

[bac2therac]

They did win at Illinois but they dont have a win at Purdue

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

They beat a good Furman team OOC whereas we beat no one OOC. IMO, 2-0 vs. them should trump a Furman win.

If this comes down to a Furman win- we need to rethink the sport.

 

[RUBlackout]

We are the only team to win @ Purdue most likely a 1 seed

 

[Mr Magoo_rivals90743]

I stand corrected. We crushed a solid Wake team.

 

[RUBlackout]

If this comes down to a Furman win- we need to rethink the sport.

I’m sure there is a weighted scoring model on Q1/2 home and away

 

[bac2therac]

If this comes down to a Furman win- we need to rethink the sport.

Wake is as good as Furman

 

[TommyGunn_rivals157283]

PSU also “looks the part” a lot more than we do right now. They have shooters that can make a run in the dance if they get hot. The odds of us making a run are pretty much nil.
