Michigan looks to have the hardest path to a double-bye. Followed by MD, who don't face the big dogs, but plays away twice.

IU looks to me to have the easiest path with two games at home.

Win out, very doable to get a double bye.

Maryland game? Don't remember it

Illinois just lost big at OSU. That helps. Michigan still has to get by Wisconsin today before finishing with 2 on the road. I like our chances but gotta turn the ship around these last 2.

Michigan escaped in OT over Wisconsin so there is now a 4-way tie for second place and 2 more teams only a game behind that. BTT seeding is still wide open. What a wild year.

Really sucked for Michigan to pull out that miracle today. They swept us so it hurts dramatically in every tiebreaker scenario. What a ridiculous shot Dickinson made.

Win out, very doable to get a double bye.

NU winning both games clinches a double bye.

At 13 wins, NU could be as low as 4 (behind Purdue, Maryland, and Michigan), but no lower.

(The key is that because they play each other, Indiana and Michigan cannot both win out)

That Rutgers comeback today hurt the cause too, if PSU had won we would have been in much better shape to get the double bye. We have to beat Rutgers now, otherwise we will need a ton of help to stay top 4.

Penn State blew a 19 point 2nd half lead. Missed their final 14 shots from the field. Lundy was 1 of 16 and Funk 1 of 7 in the game. Let’s hope their shooting woes continue and we can have a very happy senior night in Evanston in what is a big game for our Cats.

I wonder about the psychological toll of that loss on PSU, just like I worried about NU's hangover effect today from the Illinois disaster. Rutgers showed how to beat PSU. Double Pickett when he drives the ball. But you have to hope their shooters don't get hot, make them move their feet before they fire. Wednesday night will be interesting. Another adventure, like this whole season has been. As for the double bye, I hope we get it, but I think beating PSU is more important.

They’re not really severable. Of course PSU is the easier of the two games to win, and without at least 1 win, a double bye isn’t happening.

Sounds like the recent Cats play.
