Would someone please be so kind as to explain to my why scUM gets a higher B10 tourney seed, or did I dream that?

Sure. scUM lucked out and only had to play Wisconsin once this year (at home, no less). They went 1-0. OSU had to play Wisconsin twice, and split the pair. According to Big Ten rules, that gets scUM the nod.

As an aside, even the biggest scUM homer (yes, I realize that is saying something) would have to be blind to not see that the two best teams in the Big Ten this year were on the court yesterday in East Lansing.

scUM 1-0 vs. Wisky
tOSU 1-1 vs. Wisky

Big break for tsun as they'll avoid a Purdue team that absolutely manhandled them up in AA.

I think this years Big Ten Tournament is going to be absolutely wacky when it comes to the Semi's and the Final. I think one of two (either MSU or OSU) will make it to at least the Semi's. Outside of that, this tourney is wide open IMO.

But isn't
OSU 1-0 v Iowa and scUm is 0-1 vs them?

I don't get why that's not a factor in it.

Because Bucky finished higher in the standings than Iowa.

Reward the better win rather than punishing the worse loss.
