If Correct we finish 14-6 it would be hard for us not to get at least a 4 seed or higher in the BTT.  But 13-7 would open the door to that 5 seed.

No way that there would four teams ahead of us in BTT if we have a 13-7 record.
Everybody besides the top 3 are just not that good. BT may only have 5 teams in dance if they are not careful.
I think only us and Wisconsin will get 13 or more wins. Purdue will have 15+ wins.

We will get a 2 or 3 seed in BTT barring a collapse in second half which I do not see happening.
The problem is that there is little to be gained in BTT unless we get to semis and beat one of Purdue (or presumably Wisconsin if they stay near the top).
Otherwise an earlier loss to an unranked bubble team, which is always possible, hurts us in NCAAs.

The BT is 4th worse P6 this year. Being a bigger frog in a small pond has only so much value.

Yeah- you can only play who is on schedule at this point.
We have some opportunities to take to another level.

In St. is good. That coach hit the portal like a mother fucker, and got some studs. They'll get an at large, if they lose in the valley tournament.

They are very good and might win by 20+ tonight.

Wisconsin 5/19 from three, 13/19 free shots, 20/35 from two.

Michigan 5 blocks.

Thought Wisconsin was kind of a fraud all along, but losing to Michigan on the heels of two heartbreakers is soul crushing

They were over rated when ranked 6th for sure but AP rankings are kind of a joke.  They have very solid lineup and one top level W vs Marquette.
They look like the third best team, and maybe 2nd best in BT if we falter. Worst case for them is probably 12 wins unless they fall apart.
Probably a 4/5 seed in NCAA.

Speaking of seeds- how would you like to see a 5 seed (per CBS) Auburn? They really get after it. #4 in KenPom. #3 in Torvik.

They have go to the RAC Saturday. Rutgers is riding high off consecutive road wins. That could be another problem spot for the Badgers.
