Soxbadger Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 First Round: 9. Michigan over 8. Northwestern 10. Purdue over 7. Iowa 6. Ohio St. over 11. Penn St. Quarterfinals 1. Illinois over 9.

Wisconsin over 1 Illinois The last time I can remember Wisconsin losing 3 times to 1 team was to MSU in 1999. So if Illinois does beat them a 3rd time, atleast your in NCAA champions company.

Buehrle>Wood Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 08:42 PM) Iowa over Wisky and MSU? Not a chance. This is the Big Ten tourney, and as an Illini fan you would know anything is possible here and nothing really ever stays close to the seedings. No love for OSU? I see only 1 other person had them in the semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted March 8, 2005 Author Share Posted March 8, 2005 I find it funny how everyone has taken Michigan over Northwestern. Not that it matters, but I'd almost go as far as to guarantee a win for NU. Michigan is definitely worse than the Cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Way too much dap for Ohio State. Illinois just had a bad game, it's not that Ohio State is any good. Hell Minny and Wisconsin beat them at home this year. This is not a bash Illinois post, I'm just saying there is way too much dap in these predictions for Ohio State. Besides Illinois, they haven't beaten anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 7, 2005 -> 08:57 PM) IU That was one of the games where 4 freshmen started and Bracey didn't play. I'd sure hope they beat IU that game. I think if IU beats Minny they'll be in. Right now they are No. 1 in Last Four Out on Bracketology.

Yes, but the confidence they will be playing at will reach an all-time high. They are a changed team now. An interesting case nonetheless.
