I hope every team we play in the tournament experiences that D. That hard and intimidating Iowa State D.
I think Virginia will get the last 2 seed. Illinois, Nebraska and Michigan State will be 3 seeds.
I don't think so. The B10 champ result won't be known until Sunday. The bracket will be locked down before that. Plus there's no way Purdue moves ahead of ISU.
Well, I went to a small school. What part of that you have problems with?
I mean net is such a horrific metric, but I’d still be suprised to see it
After tonight, I fear nobody. They should be fearing us. Who want to play a high pressure defense with a highly efficient offense where 7 players can score 10+ on any night while also having the best shooter in the country
Fear the Storm
Hope you're right, couple of articles I just read seem to think it might be Purdue vs ISU, might have been before MSU lost.
Here's one

No way. Purdue was 8th in the bracket reveal a few weeks ago. They have gone 3-3 since that time. 2 of those wins came against mighty Northwestern.
Illinois is 16 in WAB now and MSU is 10 (right behind Iowa State). The committee has emphasize that they are putting more of a focus on WAB - probably due to teams manipulating the NET. Will be interesting how it plays out.
The only entity worse at bracketology than Lunardi is CBS.Hope you're right, couple of articles I just read seem to think it might be Purdue vs ISU, might have been before MSU lost.

Yesterday went about as well as it possibly could have for us short of winning the game. As we're all pretty well aware the last two 2 seeds can go to ISU, ILL, and/or MSU. If you use NET as a sorting tool for those three teams we should have the edge on ILL. Using NET for us against MSU things are pretty even, it would just depend on whether a Q1 win outweighs a Q2 loss. The good thing is that most of the predictive metrics like us a lot more than MSU. All in all the data seems to be pointing towards the number 7 overall seed for ISU.
I know some people are starting to worry more about Purdue. Coming into the weekend they seemed to be sitting in the 11-13 overall seed range. Even if they win the B1G torment it seems unlikely they could climb enough to pass us in overall seed.

Purdue is moving up a lot. I have them as the last 2 seed now ahead of Illinois and MSU. Also watch out for Virginia. They may become a 2 seed.
It would be insane considering we piss pounded them at their place.
It's projecting a lot, but I'd prefer in the East with Duke. Duke without their PG is very beatable.
