Also, welcome to Big Ten basketball where you have 0 fouls in the first 6 minutes of a game, then 8 fouls within the next 3.

Both teams in the bonus before the Under-8 timeout.

15 fouls in about 6 minutes.

I don't know the scenarios...can OSU drop down to 10? Seems like playing 7 then 2 might be better than 8/9 then 1.

I don't know the scenarios...can OSU drop down to 10? Seems like playing 7 then 2 might be better than 8/9 then 1.

Looks like 7 seed with a win and either 8 or 9 seed with a loss. 10 seed not a possible outcome.

Found this breakdown.
The most likely outcome would be Ohio State vs Indiana in an 8/9 game. (If Wisconsin and Indiana both win regardless of who wins the Penn State/Illinois game with this game only determining who wears white in the game)

• wisc, PSU, Indiana win: Minn 7, OSU 8, Indiana 9, PSU 10, Illinois 11, Rutgers 12
• wisc, PSU, Rutgers win: Minn 7, OSU 8, Rutgers 9, Indiana 10, PSU 11, Illinois 12
• wisc, Illinois, Rutgers win: Minn 7, Illinois 8, OSU 9, Rutgers 10, Indiana 11, PSU 12
• wisc, Illinois, Indiana win: Minn 7, Indiana 8, OSU 9, Illinois 10, Rutgers 11, PSU 12
• OSU, PSU, Indiana win: OSU 7, Minn 8, Indiana 9, PSU 10, Illinois 11, Rutgers 12
• OSU, PSU, Rutgers win: OSU 7, Minn 8, Rutgers 9, Indiana 10, PSU 11, Illinois 12
• OSU, Illinois, Indiana win: OSU 7, Minn 8, Indiana 9, Illinois 10, Rutgers 11, PSU 12
• OSU, Illinois, Rutgers win: OSU 7, Minn 8, Illinois 9, Rutgers 10, Indiana 11, PSU 12

It seems very likely that IU will win this game against Rutgers, so in order to avoid the 8/9 against IU we need to win today.

So IU it is...

Nebraska hits 4 threes in the final 40 seconds, comes back to force OT vs. Iowa. Hawkeyes are cooked now.

Iowa led 74-65 with 50 seconds to go. Wow.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Iowa tanking to end the year too. Awesome...

 

[OhioState001]

Fucking Iowa wants our win to be as worthless as possible.

So we can look at this two ways: either we broke them or they were already broken when we played them...

 

[OHSportsFan]

16 point lead and McCaffery blows it. Get bent.

Time to watch the Bucks.

12:30pm EST on Thursday? Let's find their fate early, I guess.

IU is a very talented team. By far one of the best 68 in the country right now. Same can't be said for the Buckeyes, but if Kaleb returns, he gives them a chance.

 

[HenryMuto]

Sure sucks to have to beat Indiana a 2nd time when you already beat them once at their place to get in the tournament. Just finish off Wisconsin and this would been over.

Issa Thiam was charged with simple assault, criminal mischief, false imprisonment, tampering with physical evidence, possession of a weapon for unlawful purpose, theft by unlawful taking, and terroristic threats, according to a complaint filed by Piscataway Township police on Friday.

@NJ-Buckeye I think I would watch my backyard if I were you

 

[NJ-Buckeye]

@LitlBuck Issa is probably a Criminal Justice student... and this is an 'internship' ?!?!? He only gets credit if there are more than 6 charges
