We do owe them for the late season sweep against us a couple years ago

Has the B10 announced what fan attendance will look like for the B10 tournament?
For Gard, the good news is everyone is back, the bad news is everyone is back.

Presumably none right? Isnāt Assembly Hall balking at the 25% rule? I think they want 500 max in the NCAAs.
I see you edited thisā¦ but I think a lot would have to happen for MSU to get to that game.
Yeah, given their remaining schedule I still think thereās a better chance that MSU falls into the 11 spot than rises up to 8/9. If MSU loses tomorrow they are right back in 11th and Minnesota has an easy schedule the rest of the way. I think Indiana may be the actual team battling with MSU between 10 and 11 fighting to get the single bye.
Even if the chances arenāt high, would be cool if we could sweep them with 3 Wās like they did to us a few years ago
Yes for sure. Itās not at all a likely outcome but technically in play. Iāve looked at the possibilities for entirely too long now and they have one avenue. They have to beat Indiana and Maryland, basically. Which is in itself not a 50/50 proposition. But if it were to happen thereās a decent chance that Minnesota and Indiana finish with 8 wins also, in which case MSU would get the 9 seed in a tiebreak.
I have visited this several times lately. I was literally thinking about it less than five minutes ago. Iām glad you posted it because I didnāt know if it would be kosher for me to do so. I think itās a fun tool!
Edit: Weāre obviously mostly concerned with the B1G but it is switchable to other conferences, too, if that trips your trigger!
Ooh thatās useful. I wasnāt taking into consideration IU has only 19 games. so MSU would have to beat MD, IU, and OSU or M, then Indiana has to lose to Rutgers, Purdue, and Michigan. Plus Minnesota losing at home to PSU.
So thereās the official path. Donāt count on it
Looks like these awards are partially determined by fan votes? Not sure when it starts. I would hope Michigan nation takes care of him.

Anybody except Minnesota would be good. I know they havenāt been as good since our loss, but would rather not be overthinking this game more than I have to

There is a part of me that would get such a kick out of seeing MSU play on Wednesday of the tournament.

Only a part?

I just want MSU to finish worse than 9th. I know so many Spartans that made such a big deal out of UM finishing 9th last year (never mind that UM was still considered a decent team and at least a 6 seed in the tourney), that I just want to be able to go back at them.

I wonder what howard thinks of these early afternoon tip times for the B1G tourney. I remember Beilein dreading those 9pm tips.

except this would be 3 consecutive games for us. 2 to close the regular season and then Big Ten tourney quarterfinal
The thought of winning three straight against Sparty to eliminate them from tourney consideration is enticing. But I also wouldnāt rule out them going Dantonio on us and delivering cheap shots like the one Ayo suffered.
