***2026-27 Mens College Basketball Thread***

The announcer just said that Illinois will likely be a 2 seed next week.... seriously? If they got a 2 seed over us... that would be a travesty IMO. We have a better record... AND play in a better conference... AND advanced further in our conference tourney.
That all makes sense, but we all know how this goes.
 
I know that they don't put a ton of stock into conference tournaments for some odd reason but I'd like to think that the Illinois loss combined with the Iowa State decimation of Texas Tech would further cement a 2 seed for the Cyclones.
 
We want Purdue to win. Zero chance they will put them ahead of ISU on the seed line after ISU won at Mackey.
If we lose tonight, and Purdue happens to actually win the P1G tournament, I could see lots of P1G shills pushing for it.

But after ass-ramming the #1 team in America in our tournament a couple years ago, and the committee giving that an unenthusiastic yawn, it should not happen.

(BTW, P1G is my new designation for the conference that's partially PAC and partially BiG 10.)

Good thing that the announcer is not the head of the committee. I'd be surprised, and a bit dismayed, if Iowa State isn't a 2 seed.

Catchy...I like it!

But, But B1G! / sarcasm

It’s BTN, all these announcers do is glaze the conference no matter who is playing or how the game looks.
