with 4 or less losses. I know I've posted since the B1G started that 14-4 would @ least tie for champion. It's getting fun crossing teams off that list and out of the hunt. Add Oh St after tonight!
Only 7 teams left
- Thread starter ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK
- Start date
15-3 will be the champ.
That's just the way I see it. If Maryland holds serve at home which they have so far since joining the B1G they have a max road loss potential of 2. That's 15-3.
Keep in mind this is year 2 of a 14 team unbalanced schedule so past data is not as accurate on what it takes to win the title.

More importantly, we have to go either 1-1 or 2-0 against Indiana.
If we tie with Maryland are they champs by virtue of their win over us?
Yes. They would get the regular season title by way of the victory at their place. But we will get our revenge in the B1G Tourney unless someone knocks them off first!

I don't think this is accurate...in the regular season if two or more teams are tied for 1st...they are all considered regular season co-champions.
The tie-breaker affects the BTT seedings..of which in this case Maryland would get a higher seed based on their victory over us...if we tie for the regular season championship.
It has nothing to do with the schedule. It's been like this for as long as I can remember. If you are tied for the best record, you're the champ. Been lots of shared champions over the years. As correctly stated above, tiebreakers are only used for seeding in B1G tourney.
I agreed with that. LOL. With the poster who said this. Unbalanced schedule reference was for the fact we only played @ MD they didn't come here so this makes sense as a shared champion.
Starting to agree with 15-3. Mary has won all those road games that a team could lose. Wis, Neb, & Oh St.
While all road wins are good, these are not exactly juggernauts this year. At Purdue and at Indiana are probably tougher tests. I also think Iowa has a chance to win 16 or 17 games in conference. At Michigan and at Indiana are our toughest tests, but both are winnable. There, I said it.
Maryland has these to play on the road, Indiana and Purdue, they do play Purdue Saterday. Wisconsin is a home game but they are on a roll and @ Minnesota could be interesting as Minny ha ha is 0- the BT. it would not surprise me if MD would end the season with 4 BT losses and dropping behind MSU as they lost to them and they only played MSU ONCE.
the last 8 games are going to be fun to watch.

Will be surprised if Maryland has more than 3 losses. Wisconsin and Minnesota are not beating them. No freaking way, especially Minny. They should beat Purdue at home but if there is an of upset of MD that would have to be the one. Otherwise Maryland will be 15-3 or 14-4 worst case.
if Purdue beats MD it will be no upset. Hammond will be a nightmare matchup for Stone and Hass give the boiler that 2nd 7'ter off the bench, when IA played MD Woody more than held him in check.
6'11 Stones success came when 6'8 Uhl was in the game trying to guard him.
Purdue also has 5* 6'9 Swanigan to match up with Carter. MD's problem that will be their undoing is that they can't take care of the ball as they constatntly turn it over, against IA that was their best game all season of not turning the ball over.
MD is lucky as they only play MSU and IA once.
