If tOSU makes it to the final, will the NCAA tournament committee wait to see who wins that game before naming that last #1 seed?

I wouldn't bet on it, in the past they haven't awarded tOSU because of their play in the Big 10 tourney, usually they have pretty much decided on the seeding prior to the tourney being completed. Like in I believe the last time we won the tourney and our seeding was horrible...

Right. That was the 2001-2002 (23-7, 14-5 B10) season where we ended up a 4 seed in friggin' New Mexico with Missouri.

I remember the Albuquerque thing, that's why I mentioned it. The committee may pre-determine that Memphis is a #1 if they win their tournament, and that tOSU is the #1 if Memphis loses in the Conf-USA tournament and tOSU makes the final of the Big 10 tourney.

So OSU is gathering at a place called Champions? That's a good sign. Purdue at Rock Bottom is fitting. Wisconsin can't spell or they might be a threat. I won't say anything about MSU.

Quite an appropriate name for tOSU this year. I believe it's the bar at the Marriott.

Instead of 'Hard Rock', TSUN should be at 'Hard Knocks'.

tOSU must beat Purdue tomorrow, or Iowa gets the #1 seed in the Big 10 tourney due to the tiebreaker (head-to-head among the 3 teams, Iowa is 2-1, tOSU 1-1, Illinois 1-2).

Assuming tOSU gets the 1 seed and beats the #8 Penn State-#9 (currently Northwestern) winner, the second round would be against the #4 Wisconsin-#5 Indiana winner.

Iowa, Illinois, MSU and scUM would all be the other half of the bracket if tOSU beats Purdue to get the #1 seed.

And MSU drops to the ranks of the peasants with their first Thursday Big Ten tournament game. From gould68 on Bucknuts:

1 OSU
2 Iowa
3 Illinois
4 Wisky
5 IU
6 MSU
7 scUM
8 PSU
9 NW
10 Minny
11 Purdue

I don't like that opening round game, as PSU and NU are playing pretty good basketball right now. I'd cheer for IU against Wisky, because we match up much better w/ them. Tucker has been a real nuissance this year. After that, I like our chances against Illinois, as Dials always plays well against them.

Penn State beat NW'ern twice this year, so they may be the more likely opponent.
