Who Will Win the 2023 BTT?

Today (Wed 3/8)
1. dOSU vs. WIS, 5:30 pm Central
2. Minn vs. Neb, +25min. after Game 1
Wiscy and Neb will likely win, but dOSU is dangerous. Don't expect to see either Minn or Neb to beat MD in the next round, setting up a MD-IU matchup in the third round, while we play either PSU or ILL.

The TV schedule in the sports page of The SF Chronicle already shows PSU vs NU Friday. The schedule for Purdue and MSU show both opposing teams that might continue to these games and the schedule for IU is blank.
Does the Chron know PSU vs. Ill is fixed?

Driving home from the Twin Cities on Monday, I saw a bumper sticker in western Wisconsin that said "Defund the Media". Um... They already did.
I didn't vote for them (or NU), but just the fact that MSU is being totally overlooked means Izzo will probably do it.
I'll take a rematch with PSU.
Upsets are the norm it seems. And down goes Michigan! Yes!Who did you pick to win it all? I feel sorry for that school.
It's a shame that the one year where the underdog keeps winning is the one year NU has a great seed! I think by the time it gets to tonight, things will have normalized.
The IU fans were terrible last night at the game. Most were cheering against the cats.
It makes sense that they would, Penn State is an easier matchup for them. It's in their interest.
I can never root for Penn State in anything. I'd rather not root for Ohio State, though I realize this isn't football. I think I like IU better than Purdue. I like TJD better than Edey. He doesn't whine as much and he's a more interesting player. It's very scientific!
speed to beat Purdue!
Two interesting things -
1) OTHER didn't get a single vote in this poll, yet it just might win!
2) If Purdue wins, they'll do it without beating a single top eight seed in the tourney.
I'm happy NU got second place in the regular season, but the tourney did a nice job of reminding us (as if we needed the reminder), that the entire conference (even Minnesota!) is competitive with each other and anyone can beat anyone else.

So if you are Purdue, do you take your chances by playing Edey for 30 minutes, pounding it inside and having him put up 30 points? You will sacrifice a lot of perimeter defense, which sounds like suicide vs PSU. I think you have to try it, as I would not want to put the offensive onus on those young PU guards.
