Michigan will own all.  :ph34r:

If by "own all" you mean, lose in the first round, then yes, you are right :D

Hey I'll be the first to admit MSU has underachieved big time.

 

Thing is due to their recent success, 4 FFs in 7 years, they're a lock to be in at this point.

My Predictions (I need some practice for the real thing):

 

Thursday

#8 Penn State over #9 Northwestern

#10 Minnesota over #7 Michigan

#6 Michigan State over #11 Purdue

 

Friday

#1 Ohio State over #8 Penn State

#5 Indiana over #4 Wisconsin

#10 Minnesota over #2 Iowa

#3 Illinois over #6 Michigan State

 

Saturday

#5 Indiana over #1 Ohio State

#3 Illinois over #10 Minnesota

 

Sunday

#3 Illinois over #5 Indiana

 

Tournament MVP-James Augustine

Always pick against Minnesota when they aren't playing in Minnesota :(

Its an unwritten rule (although it might be written in some places)

Edited by Felix

Well, I don't have any money on these picks so I'm not too worried.

Penn State beat Northwestern 60-42 and will play Ohio State tomorrow.

 

Michigan needs this win against Minnesota to get in.

If tOSU wins the confernce tournament, they SHOULD be a 1 seed...to win the conference outright and the tourney in the hardest confernce in the nation this year, and not be a #1 seed, would be ludacris.

Minnesota should be feeling good. Michigan leads 27-23 at the half, but Grier has ZERO points. Doubtful that trend will keep up.

I don't see it happening though. It has been proven in the past that the championship game has no effect on seeding. The committee already has the brackets made before the championship is over.

Anybody that is watching the Mich/Minny game, is there something wrong with Horton? Did he get hurt? On Espn it shows that he has played only 1 minute and has 0 PF's.

 

Just curious.

 

Edit: Ahh, nevermind, I checked CBS and he has 6 points, I'll go back to work now. :bang

Are you thinking Grier? He got benched after committing 4 quick turnovers. He's done next to nothing. Minnesota is lucky to be in this game.

But, if a team wins the tourney and conference outright in the best conference, a #1 seed should be given.

 

I know the brackets are mostly done, but last minute changes have to be made. I dont see how Memphis is a #1 over tOSU as it is.

The fact that Minny is still in the game and Grier has not been scoring is good news for them. He'll eventually get hot, and should help the Gophers possibly win this thing.

You could make the case that going into Sunday's game, if it's Ill-OSU, they could have a 1 seed and 2 seed reserved. Winner would take the 1 seed, loser the 2 seed. Not saying that's what's going to happen by any means, but it's a possibility.

Gophers up 7 with 9 to go. Michigan might want to wake up or they're going to find themselves squarely on the bubble.

Things are not looking good for Michigan right now.

It's extremely close, Memphis is one better in the rpi, osu's sos is a little stronger, memphis is 6 and 3 vs the top 50 while osu is 7 and 4 against the top 50. It's really a coin toss.

Yes it is, as good as the big 10 is this year, and as down as the ACC is, the ACC still gets all the coverage...it's sickening(I know that was a big u-turn but it does bother me).

Oh man, I need to get off whatever I smoked today. Im completely confused. Yeah, it was Grier who I was talking about, but when I posted that, I decided to type in the other teams star player. :chair

Lets go Minny. Hold onto this :D

If michigan loses, are they still in the tourney?? That is like 8/11 losses, that is horrid.

Bubblicious. It'll be close, I'd bet on them still making it though unfortunately.

Missed free throws are killing the Gophers..
