1. The Big 10 will get only one #1 seed...and it will be Illinois.

2. And then Illinois will promptly lose in the sweet 16 or possibly round of 32. That team has choking in tourney written all over them.

3. The Big 10 will get 2 #2 seeds...Michigan and Iowa.

4. Ohio St will flame out...lose to IA and Illinois to end season and end up a 3 seed.

5. The BTT will basically be irrelevant. These next 2 weeks, when every top team plays each other, will determine who's seeded where.

6. Purdue will make sweet 16. They are dealing right now. Great coach. Very easy remaining schedule. Everything will go right for them and they'll be a 4 seed.

7. Minnesota will be this year's cinderella. Big loss for them this week with a starter breaking his hand. If he's back by tourney, MN could be Cinderella. Easy remaining schedule so they should go 4-0, 3-1. Should get a 7 possible 6 seed. Every year, there's one team that just hits it's stride bc their superstar carries them in the tourney. Ben Gordon, Jason Williams, Gordon Hayward, Tyrique Smith, etc. And Carr will be that guy this year.

8. Hawks will make title game. So many teams will struggle to handle Garza. A pure post player is such a rarity and look at the teams outside the big ten...literally 8 of the top 10 big men in nation are in big ten. He will feast during the tourney.

1. Still think B1G gets 2
2. Sweet 16 at least for Illinois.
3. Agree but not on the teams
4. Possible
5. Yeah it won’t do much for seeding
6. Very possible
7 No way in hell. Minnesota can’t shoot the 3 and will likely be a 1st round casualty
8. Just get to the Sweet 16 please. Anything after that is gravy.

7. Easy remaining schedule? Have you seen MN on the road? I’m not sure they’ll beat penn state or Nebraska
They aren't beating Penn State (IMO) and could lose to Nebraska, who has played better of late. They just don't play well for an entire game on the road, and Robbins is hobbled too.

Crazy pretty much sums it up. But.....it’s fun to speculate.
