4:30 p.m. Friday in the Field House in Madison - B!G title gets decided. Come on Huskers, we’re waiting. Assuming that Wisconsin and Purdue both will beat Indiana… NEB beats WI + NEB beats PUR = NEB wins at 17-3 NEB beats WI + PUR beats NEB = 3 way tie (NEB, WI, PUR) at 16-4 WI beats NEB + NEB beats PUR = WI wins at 17-3 WI beats NEB + PUR beats NEB = WI wins at 17-3 So the title is only decided for sure if Wisconsin beats Nebraska, then they win outright. If Nebraska wins… then the Nebraska-Purdue match decides it. That was a homer post...trying to say Wisconsin will win both matches this coming weekend.
(I understand math.) (I over stan the Badgers.)

I happen to think that beating the top-ranked teams in the country in the national semifinal and final is a greater accomplishment, but your point is well taken. Keep it cordial please. If I disagree doesn't that make it controversial? I am surely not the only VB fan who thinks the NCAA tourney identifies great accomplishment. If you think winning the B1G is a greater accomplishment that's ok too. Let me ask you: If NEB can beat WI and Purdue finishes the last 2 months undefeated do you think Purdue should get a top 4 seed? I think so, but my vote doesn't count. That would give them two wins over Wisconsin, a split with Ohio State, Nebraska and Illinois, wins over Minnesota and Penn State in the conference. Outside the Big, sweeps over Tennessee, Kansas, and Washington State (with Pia Timmer). One loss to #1 Louisville and one kind of bad loss to Michigan State. I'd like to see what BYU's or even Texas's record would be in they had to run the gauntlet of the Big schedule instead of the Cupcake walk they have in their own conferences. The ACC presents more of a challenge, but I don't think Pitt would walk through the Big as successfully as they have in the ACC. Purdue single handedly knocked Wisconsin out of a top 4 seed. They deserve that seed if they win out. |

Yes: how you preform in the end is more important than how you did in september |

will be interesting tomorrow, does Michigan get in and give the B1G 8 teams still playing? Or does the committee say that's too many, buh-bye Wolverines. RPI of 37 Massey at 27 Pablo of 21 |
