The top 15 teams go while 3 teams stay at home. It's probably going to be close for Iowa. Minnesota holds the tie breaker over Iowa. Iowa holds it over Penn State. Iowa plays Nebraska & Northwestern again on the road so the tie breaks could go further down. Beating Washington is also key for another tie break. Ultimately though, I find it embarrassing that we're having this conversation. It should be about what we need to or can't do for the NCAA Tournament.

Complete honesty? I just DGAF.

There's no way the Hawks are gonna win the BTT - which they will 1000% need to do get into the Dance (or win a few games there to even possibly quality for the NIT) this March - so it matters not if they barely squeak into the BTT & lose quickly or don't participate at all.

Depends, will the rest of the bottom feeders lose the rest of their games too?:cool:

We very well might. I don't see a lot of wins left on the schedule. That Rutgers game is going to matter.

They’ll get their asses handed to them at Rutgers. Iowa will be laying in the corner, sucking their thumbs, halfway through the 2nd half. This team is extremely physically/mentally weak

I'm sure the team is excited to get into the bigten tournament because we know how we'll they play away from home
 
They could beat Purdue or Wisconsin if they shoot the ball really well. That is their path. Not predicting it would change the arc of their season, but it would give them enough momentum to get into the BTT, which is the topic. Lose them both, it's a toss up. However, what they got going for them is that the teams below them right now, other than Minnesota, are not playing that well, and they have similar schedules remaining. Whoever sucks less down the stretch will squeak in.

While it is possible Iowa would not make the Big Ten Tournament, I think it is likely they will. Might even win a game or two!
