MBB: Big Ten Tourney Predictions

[cruelhalo]

My picks are in bold. Penn St has been solid in the tourney the last few years (7-3). As far as upsets, Maryland looks like they don't care. It wouldn't surprise me if Minnesota beats Michigan St and the same goes for Iowa potentially beating Illinois if that matchup happens. I also think Rutgers could beat Wisconsin but I went the other way. I hope I don't regret it but I allowed some homerism and put Nebraska in the final v Purdue.

1. Rutgers v Maryland
2. Michigan v Penn St

3. Minnesota v Michigan St
4. Rutgers v Wisconsin
5. Ohio St v Iowa
6. Penn St v Indiana

7. Michigan St v Purdue
8. Wisconsin v Northwestern
9. Iowa v Illinois
10. Penn St v Nebraska

11. Northwestern v Purdue
12.Nebraska v Illinois

13. Nebraska v Purdue

 

[Husker4real]

I accept this result

I think Nebraska plays Indiana and the Hoosiers make it close. They’re playing well rn. I like Illinois to win this thing, tho. I think they have the most talent in the league.

Ya Indiana is difficult to figure out. Since the rumors about Woodson died down, they seem to be playing well - 4 in a row. Honestly, I think Penn St could put a scare in this tournament.

 

[V-Doub]

I’m gonna pick us to win it all because, why not?

I'll go with it. Since it's not a gambling thread I'm going with the Huskers for the win Alex

Sadly the Illini just don't match up well (most teams don't) with PU.

I also think OSU beats Iowa and might beat the Illini...OSU is playing well right now

4 in a row, 5/6, I think?

 

[grayhairedfreak]

I'm not too excited about playing the late (maybe very late) Friday game, then Saturday in the afternoon. We'll see how it shakes out.

 

[spartanhusker]

One game at a time

 

[cruelhalo]

4 in a row, 5/6, I think?

yup. Ohio St could do some damage. lots of equality in the league.

 

[mwulf]

Nebraska losing to Indiana would probably put them at a 10 seed

 

[ATX Husker]

Nebraska losing to Indiana would probably put them at a 10 seed

Better than an 8 or 9

 

[mwulf]

Better than an 8 or 9

exactly

 

[leodisflowers]

Nebraska at this point really should be a 6 or 7, but because we aren't a MSU we are a 9 or a 10. Just BS, but whatever.

Thursdays game between Bucknuts and the Clarkeyes will be the best game that day. Both been playing very well down the stretch and the 3rd seed bracket has it easier than the 2 seed bracket...

That 8/9 game just sucks.

If you are not a top 4 seed you really want anything but 8/9 or 15/16.

Or a false 1….

Yeah that should be a fun game!

I guess define playing well down the stretch. Iowa is 2-2 in their last 4 and 4-3 in their last 7. Ohio St, yes as was stated, won 5 of last 6.

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

I am not expecting Purdue to win the conference tournament.

I'm sorta second-guessing my Ohio St pick. A lot of tough games to pick at this stage, with this conference.

 

[SickOfPractice]

Same. This year we're as likely as any team to win it all. Crazy.

 

[mwulf]

Just getting to Saturday and CBS would be really nice. Think they are stuck in the 8/9game which isn't ideal but it's not like they are winning it all so why not go against a 1 seed on the way out

That would be cool if they made it to Saturday and Tominaga goes off. The hype would be fun. It would be off the charts.

 

[cruelhalo]

Maryland putting foot to Rutgers ass right now. Rutgers starting 5 has 19 points with 7 minutes to go in the game.

I get Peacock anyway, but WTH are these two games doing on Peacock as BTN carries filler programming?

Head scratcher for sure.

Can't believe I'm gonna say this... go gophers

 

[BTF69]

can always use crackstreams if you don't have the cock

Good call.

 

[cubsker]

We should beat either of these two tomorrow, they both stink.

I want Penn State to win, if only because it will drive Robbie Hummel to tears.

 

[cubsker]

Overtime wouldn't be the worst thing

 

[huskerfan66]

Good one on btn right now. 56-53 Purdue over msu 3:22 to play

 

[huskerfan66]

MSU might all be fouled out by the end

 

[BrighteRed24]

Very impressive loss by Michigan State, gotta think they moved up one or two seeds in the ncaa tourney after this performance

 

[schuele]

MSU might all be fouled out by the end

Izzo's postgame presser should be a hoot. He's a crybaby, but my God there were some horrible calls in this game.

Funny to watch Edey take a 15-foot stroll without dribbling and have Bardo insist, "It looked awkward but I thought he kept his pivot foot down!"

Yeh, he dragged his foot all the way across the lane, but it didn't leave the floor.

 

[huskerfan66]

Purdue survives

 

[schuele]

The Floppers from Wisconsin might have been better off without Chucky today, since the rest of the team seems to realize that Storr is far and away their best player. Way easier for Storr to put up 30 points when Chucky's not monopolizing the ball.
