Mapping out the optimal realistic scenario for OSU to finish the regular season ...
1) OSU wins their last two (favored in both)
2) UCLA splits their last two (Huskers FTW!)
3) Iowa loses at least one of two (underdogs in both)
In this scenario, OSU would manage to be the #7 seed in the Big Ten tournament. Head-to-head the tiebreaker would give OSU a seeding advantage over UCLA. It would be a significant advantage to be the #7 and play the #2 (Sparty/Huskers) instead of having to face UM. Right now OSU would be the #9 seed due to losing the tiebreaker with Iowa, you don't want to be below #8 because that means playing on Wednesday. #7 and #8 don't play their first games until Thursday. As if we needed more reasons for OSU to take PSU seriously as a must-win type of game ...
