This site still showing NU as a Number 7 seed, but may not have been updated after the Purdue game.

The site now shows Northwestern as an eight seed. Most sites have them as a eight or nine. In did see one that has them as an eleven.

Based on what you've written, the Cats would be in Sacramento as the 7 in Oregon's pod, not in #3 Butler's Indianapolis pod.

Barring at least 2 wins in the BTT, I very much doubt they'll be a 7 seed. More likely a 9 or a 10.

Where will 3 wins in the BTT get NU? How about 4?

I think 3 wins in the BTT (i.e. lose in championship) gets us to a 7. And 4 wins probably to a 6. But all in on us testing out that theory.

I agree. I think a high of 6 if we win the BTT and a low of 10 if we lose the first game to Rutgers. A loss to Ohio State may put us in as a 9 seed, while a win over either and then a loss will put us at an 8. I say we just keep winning and see what happens.

I'm hoping that the OSU/Rutgers game goes to 4 OT!
