What BIG 10 teams get a bid to the tourney other than Wisconsin and Ohio State?

    I think MSU is still on the bubble. Beating Wisconsin last week was great but losing two games since then have dampened the spirits
    here in Spartanland. I think they are 50-50 right now for the big dance. They need to win over Northwestern in the NCAA tournament
    starting Thursday and then I think they are in.

    I think MSU gets in as long as they win a game in the big ten tourny (i dont know who they play first round though). Izzo is a tournament tested coach and i think they give them the nod because MSU is always dangerous in the NCAA. Plus they utterly destroyed my Hawkeyes the second time they played this season.

    bigfische--wasn't even paying attention that you were a fellow Hawkeye fan, at least I'm not alone here.

    Illinois is a no go?

    I think the hawks will be great next year even without Huluska. Lot of strong young players.

    I think Wisconsin beats Ohio State, but it might be moot if OSU is seeded #1 before the game ends.

    How about NCST? UNC will run them off the court tomorrow, but state's run has been pretty impressive considering their shallow bench and players are literally hobbling around the court.

    Ohio State - #1 Seed
    Wisconsin - #2 Seed
    Indiana
    Michigan State
    Purdue

    I don't think they'll get more than 5. Comes down to Purdue/Illinois. It's a tough call as they both made it to the semis of the B10 tournament (committe cannot use either team's performance in tournament against them). Purdue beat Illinois handily (albeit at home). Illinois doesn't really have a marquee win (MSU/Indiana biggest wins) and faired poorly in bigger non-conference games (Maryland/Arizona/Xavier). Purdue has win against Virginia. Illinois' record looks good (23-10/9-7 in conference) but the committee will consider the unbalanced B10 scheduled (only played OSU/WI once). However, Illinois should have better RPI and SOS. Unfortunately, I think the Illini are out.
