Re: 2019 B1G Tournament
should be a fun weekend for everyone
As Bugs Bunny would say "Confusing, ain't it?"

I believe the Badgers can get 4th with a sweep of Michigan and a Notre Dame 5-6 point weekend. We would have the tie breaker over Michigan, but not Penn State or Notre Dame, if I understand correctly.
There are still 16 scenarios at play here, based on the WI-MI and ND-PSU results tomorrow.
If WI wins in reg/OT and…
… ND wins in reg/OT: 1.OSU 2.ND 3.MN 4.WI 5.MI 6.PSU 7.MSU
… ND wins in 3x3/SO: 1.OSU 2.ND 3.MN 4.WI 5.MI 6.PSU 7.MSU
… PSU wins in 3x3/SO: 1.OSU 2.ND 3.MN 4.PSU? 5.WI? 6.MI? 7.MSU. No idea how these tie breakers work if WI, MI and PSU are all even on points.
… PSU wins in reg/OT: 1.OSU 2.ND 3.MN 4.PSU 5.WI 6.MI 7.MSU
If WI wins in 3x3/SO and…
… ND wins in reg/OT: 1.OSU 2.ND 3.MN 4.MI 5.WI 6.PSU 7.MSU
… ND-PSU goes to 3x3/SO: 1.OSU 2.ND 3.MN 4.MI 5.PSU 6.WI 7.MSU
… PSU wins in reg/OT: Same as if that game goes to 3x3 shootout. Unless PSU wins the tiebreaker with MI, then switch them around.
If MI wins in 3x3/SO:
Because I think MN has the tiebreaker over MI and OSU is the tiebreaker over WI, all scenarios here lead to
1.OSU 2.ND 3.MN 4.MI 5.PSU 6.WI 7.MSU
If MI wins in reg/OT and…
I think all scenarios for ND-PSU here lead to:
1.OSU 2.ND 3.MI 4.MN 5.PSU 6.WI 7.MSU
Unless PSU wins in reg/OT. Not sure who has the tie breaker between ND and MI if they’re even on points. Maybe switch them.
If I’ve done this right, then one interesting thing to note is that there is no scenario that gives us a MN-WI first round series, but there might be one that gives us MI-MSU in the first round.
#2 Notre Dame hosts #7 Michigan State
#3 Minnesota hosts #6 Michigan
#4 Penn State hosts #5 Wisconsin.
That 3rd period last night between Wisconsin & Michigan erupted into a full blown melee, I can only imagine how intense the tournament will be with everyone in the first round facing the end of their season with a loss!
I got all home teams which sends penn state to columbus.
The only result that would surprise me is Sparty advancing over the Irish.
It’s a fool who tries to predict what the hell the Badgers, Gophers, Wolverines, and Enablers will do on any given night.
I would certainly hope Ohio State goes all the way but at this juncture of the season I was more than a little disturbed that they would not play to their full potential Saturday allowing the conference's last place team to take one on our home ice. It was disconcerting to say the least and the big question is "Why?"I have Minnesota and ohio state in the final
A decent enough run from Notre Dame will get them in, I’m guessing. Likely the same for Penn State.
Our worst team is 28 in the pairwise. It’s hard to imagine that a victory over anyone is going to hurt your chances.
