My thoughts...

• #12 Wisconsin d. #13 Ohio State
• #11 Nebraska d. #14 Minnesota

Nailed it

Well, that's over and done with. An ignoble end to an ignoble season.

It feels so good to be done.

Now, turn down the NIT. Make it stop.

Hulu's BTN feed died during the game (it kept talking about Robbie Hummel's 1K race on a loop), but apparently the Bucks survived a big comeback in what sounds like a complete reversal of their earlier game.

Hulu's everything feed died last night. I was watching Cooking. Dead. Switch to HGTV. Dead.

Is the Rutgers/Michigan game at noon today an NCAA elimination game?

Is the Rutgers/Michigan game at noon today an NCAA elimination game?

Probably.

Penn State has handled Illinois this season, but need a win today to lock a spot in the NCAA tournament (and maybe avoid the 11 seed play-in). Fingers crossed. 

[medinabuckeye1]

Probably.

That is what I'm thinking.

If Michigan loses they finish 17-15. I think that is clearly out.

If Rutgers loses they finish a game better overall at 18-14 but with a worse league record and a terrible end to the season including:

• Three straight losses.
• Four losses in the last five.
• Seven losses in the last nine. 

I know that how a team finished is not technically an official consideration anymore but it seems to me that committee members could still consider it.

OTOH, if they treat Rutgers' December loss in Columbus as a win then they should be in at 19-14 even with a loss today.

Looks like Michigan is going down. Boo hoo.

I think Rutgers' bid is now secure.

LoL, I'm not doing well either. 

• 1-1 on Wednesday. 
• 0-1 so far today but it is worse than that because I also had Michigan knocking off Purdue tomorrow so I've now lost that one as well.

[847badgerfan]

I think Rutgers' bid is now secure.

And Michigan is out.

that's just crazy talk

These are the architects of my discontent. You could build a pretty good team out of them.

UW basically needed one more win than it got. Realistically, 18-13, with that schedule, is probably in. At least at Dayton. All told, they lost nine super tight games. They played in a lot of them, I think went 11-9. I know that's close to average, but would it have been such a shame to be 12-8?

These guys didn't all make the big plays at the end that fully decided things, but they made the plays, and UW not making the plays did the rest.
