Two other games are the ones that affect the Buckeyes: Indiana at Purdue on Saturday and Wisconsin at Iowa on Sunday. Here's what would happen in each scenario.
  • Scenario 1: Ohio State beats Illinois, Purdue beats Indiana and Iowa beats Wisconsin
    • The Buckeyes would earn the No. 5 seed and a single bye. If they get past the No. 12 or No. 13 seed in the second round, they would face No. 4 Purdue in the quarterfinals, then possibly No. 1 Michigan in the semifinals.
  • Scenario 2: Ohio State beats Illinois, Purdue beats Indiana and Wisconsin beats Iowa
    • The Buckeyes would earn the No. 4 seed and a double bye. They would likely face No. 5 Iowa in the quarterfinals with No. 1 Michigan presumably waiting for the winner in the semifinals.
  • Scenario 3: Ohio State beats Illinois, Indiana beats Purdue and Iowa beats Wisconsin
    • The Buckeyes would earn the No. 4 seed and a double bye. They would likely face No. 5 Purdue in the quarterfinals, then could meet No. 1 Michigan in the semifinals.
  • Scenario 4: Ohio State beats Illinois, Indiana beat Purdue and Wisconsin beats Iowa
    • The Buckeyes would earn the No. 3 seed and a double bye. They would likely face No. 6 Wisconsin in the quarterfinals, then could meet No. 2 Illinois in the semifinals.

It appears we are locked-in as the 5-seed for the B1G tourney. That means a Thursday afternoon encounter vs the winner of Minnesota-Northwestern. The Pedsters could possibly fall into a tie with the Mildcats but Ped State won their only meeting this season, so they should face Nebraska in their tourney opener.

The Gophers and Mildcats both defeated the Bucks on their floors, but that can't happen again on Thursday. Our boys need a W, for confidence if nothing else.

Right now they’re a hobbled group- Robbins (ankle) and Kalscheur (finger) have sat out the last few games. Gach was injured too and came off the bench last game.

Pitino isn’t a good coach and they aren’t exactly a cohesive group.

I’d be disappointed if the Bucks dropped a game to Minny or Northwestern at this point.

SINGLE BYE MIGHT BE A BLESSING

FIRST GAME IS ESSENTIALLY A MUST-WIN

NEED A REVENGE TOUR

IT PROBABLY COULD’VE BEEN WORSE

OHIO STATE-MICHIGAN 2.0 WOULD BE FUN ... AND DIFFICULT

POTENTIALLY FOUR GAMES IN FOUR DAYS
