Here's a handy tool to try and figure out seeds in the Big Ten Tournament:
Remember only the top 15 teams in the league go to the tournament. For the teams that finish 16-18, their seasons are dunzo when the regular season wraps.
Right now, Iowa is in 13th place in the league -- 0.5 game behind Oregon and Indiana, 0.5 game head of Rutgers. Iowa also has head-to-head tiebreakers against IU and RU and a game remaining against Oregon.
If all the favored teams win their remaining games in the Big Ten -- including Iowa, which would mean a home win over Washington and a road win at Northwestern -- then Iowa would finish 7-13 in conference action and be the 13th seed in the BTT. They would play the 12-seed (Indiana) in the first round of the BTT.
