Big Ten Tournament

[CatFanEd]

I live in Indianapolis and want to purchase tickets for the Big Ten Tournament. Is there a scenario where we might not get in? Every prognosticator I come across says we are first round team first second or third game. Can I count on that. Good tickets aren't cheap.

There are scenarios, but they involve Iowa beating MSU and Minnesota beating Wisconsin. And other results. So it’s possible but far more likely NU gets in.

I think we root for Nebraska over Ohio State tonight, but I haven't gone through every scenario yet.

Great tool. Thanks. Based on what I am seeing and like Smelly says, it is possible but unlikely we fall to 14.

Would welcome a matchup with Nebraska

You can try out all the scenarios here (I know I have linked this several times): https://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=mbb

Not sure I agree with this. PSU and Washington are already out, so how does USC get in?

You can also get a ticket in the secondary market for under $10. That’s what they go for for the first round games. At least in the old format it was. No seat assignments either for the first night. Last time I was linger in row 11

I made a spreadsheet with all the scenarios but I made an error and am trying to clean it up. Everything I saw where NU didn't make it involved USC beating UCLA and Iowa beating Nebraska in the last weekend of the season. The other games matter, but those in particular are problematic.

Of course, if NU beats Maryland, none of those other games matter.
