Losing to Penn State wouldn't completely kill the hope but it would put it on life support with no margin for error.. They'd 100% have to beat Indiana and then not lose in their 1st B1G tourney game. Then depending on the rest of the bubble/bid steals maybe have to win a 2nd B1G tourney game as well
I think if they win 2 more games they‘ll be in, if they lose 3 straight they’ll be out, and if they only win 1 more (including the conference tourney) they’ll be on the bubble and need breaks to get in.

Maybe Bruce's thread title can get updated for being a 4-time team captain? Rare achievement. He doesn't really have a nickname, but in my mind he's our Captain's captain.

Also, it could be any game now that Bruce breaks the OSU all-time career scoring record. He is now 29 points behind Dennis Hopson (30 to be outright #1) and averaging 20 per game. If he has average scoring performances at PSU and vs IU, he projects to break the scoring record at home on Senior Day vs IU (which is also the Bruce Thornton bobblehead game).

Could see the first 4 eventually becoming the first 8 and being played the weekend before the 1st round starts. I'm not sure we will ever see much more of a significant expansion though.
That's probably the next step but I don't think we're that far off from it. Probably ~5 years or so.

The tournament will expand when TV wants it to expand. The TV execs would LOVE to add another weekend to the tournament somehow.

I think Santa Clara is going to have to at least get to the WCC final to really be in serious final consideration for a spot.

It's going to be really annoying if the MWC somehow ends up getting 3 teams. San Diego State belongs nowhere near the dance unless they can win the MWC tourney.

Pre Seeds

Davino 3rd behind Blaze and Byrd.
Cannon 7th LOLOLOLOL.
Blaze behind Caliendo.
Haines the two seed.

I'm not familiar with the process, but seems very convoluted....so wrestlestat comes out with the pre-seeds, and then coaches can challenge these? Why go through that whole process....just let the coaches rank, send it in, spit it out. Just feels like an odd process. I'd think OSU would challenge on Cannon and it'd bump him up a bit.
