Michigan State has the highest turnover percentage in the Big 10. That would bode well for us

Not “never” win, but more L’s than W’s. Small sample size, relatively speaking.
Losses:
Ohio State ’85 (4v13, obviously understandable)
Michigan State ’00
Ohio State ’13
Purdue ’17
Ohio State ’19
Wins:
Michigan ’86
Minnesota ’05
--> If we could just purge Ohio State from existence, we'd be sitting pretty pretty.

I think a thing that helps us is (supposedly) the committee no longer values season end results more than results all season. Those early wins are money in the bank (I hope).
Lunardi dropped us to a 10. Which I would like at this point over 8/9. But I hate this draw. Give me literally any other 10 seed draw the first two games over what he has for us.

9 Big Ten teams would be an absolute travesty
Lunardi now has us as one of the last 4 byes. Not sure why I’m sweating now. https://www.espn.com/espn/feature/s...ology-projecting-2022-march-madness-men-field
Yeah he had that update last night. It’s strange we are a last four bye yet a 10 seed. We are in don’t sweat.
Just pushes us to the 10 line in his mind. Remember…11 seeds play in the “first 4”.
Dang didn’t see that from last night. Really need A&M to lose and Davidson to win the A10. I want to avoid the first 4 at all costs. Wouldn’t mind a 10 seed. That loss against OK State really showing it’s horns right now.
By no means am I a Big Ten defender/booster, but ... somebody's gotta get in. It so happens that BT has a bunch of teams clustered near the bubble area (and IU had the audacity to keep winning...)
If the goal is to reduce # of Big Ten bids, hope for the following:
* Iowa defeats IU ("rooting" for Hawks? Anathema!)
* Virginia Tech wins ACC auto-bid (ergo, 5 teams from a largely weak ACC get in; pick your poison)
* SMU wins American auto-bid (or at least get to title game and perhaps at-large)
* Davidson loses in A-10 championship ... still gets at-large, but Dayton/Richmond grabs a bid-steal.
If all of that occurs, maybe it'd drop to 7 (at least one of IU/RU/U-M probably secure no matter what).
ISU is really limping into the finish. Probably a 8-9 seed, but definitely in. Way more than I could have hoped for at the beginning of the season.
