Get ready for the 'Buckeyes deserve a bid?' talk.

Some how, some way.

That'd be really stretching the envelope to go there.

By the time Ohio State could compile enough more significant wins to even be in such a conversation, the narrative would be "unlikely chance to steal an auto-bid."

The more immediate talking point is UW loss makes at-large remote. The loss alone is only Q2, but Wisconsin has enough of those already, and being out of action, nothing it can do to improve the profile.

There is no way Wisconsin should be in. At all.

I can't guarantee it but the BTN folks will have some way to make it a possibility.

Bucky gonna make it interesting.

I suppose it's possible ... but seems like plenty of “BiG booster" analysis that'd require less effort (even if said analysis is questionable in itself).

Unless UW rallies to survive (unlikely at this point), it's toast for a bid.

A win over OSU does almost nothing to help profile.

A loss itself does little damage, but Wisconsin has no chance to get more significant wins, is too close to cut-line and will succumb to (1) other teams jumping with good wins (2) bid-stealing.

Ewing gets fired tomorrow, right?

Yeah, they can't continue on with him, I'm surprised Butler hasn't fired their coach yet either.

Tech had a nice couple weeks on the outskirts of bubble watch but their season is over.

Guessing a lot of the guys in that locker room were ready to be done.
Long season in Lubbock

Is Fred recruiting message board posters now?

I kid I kid, kind of.

Minnesota coming for that 5 wins in 5 days.

When do we hear about them and tOSU playing some of the best bball in the country?

And do you think Gard is back?

Lol, yeah, probably Ncaa tournament teams until they ran into the "gauntlet" Big 10 schedule........

This just feels like a game that OSU will piddle down their legs. Hope not.

They need to quit just chucking up 3's.

 

[NoCreativity]

NC State has a nice backcourt tandem, I could see them winning a game or two in the tourney if they get hot.

 

[Clonehomer]

Wow. Minnesota up 7, best player just fouled out and the coach gets a technical. This is how bad teams implode.
