Minnesota probably secured their spot in the Tournament with a win over Northwestern today. They'll obviously feel much more secure if they get a win over Sparty tomorrow.

Michigan is taking care of its Bubble business, too, thumping Iowa.

Don't you mean the "Whoever can score 65 first wins" thread?

Michigan is in assuming they hold on. I'm not sure about Minnesota, they might need one more, especially if some non-favorites win a few of the conference tourneys.
I also don't know if a win tonight for Penn State will be enough, them and Minnesota are both tricky. If PSU doesn't lose to Iowa this past weekend, they're probably a lock. Unfortunately, if PSU is currently in, they can play their way out with a loss tonight.
This tourney is providing several teams the opportunity to play their way in, and out, of the NCAA tourney.

Michigan State wins...I think if they win the Big 10 they will be a number 1 seed now that UConn, Pitt and Oklahoma all lost their first games. I think the number 1's right now are UNC, Loiusville and Mich St and a toss up for the last one.....

I still think Minny is in.
OSU v Wisconsin is a tight one mid-2nd half. I personally would love to see OSU go down and lose NCAA tourney hopes, but that might not be the case even with a loss.

Wisconsin was winning 54-48 with about 3 minutes to play. tOSU scored 7 consecutive before Wisconsin finally hit a FT. Tied at 55, tOSU went on to make it 60-55. The only basket Wisconsin scored in the last three minutes was a meaningless two pointer at the end.

What happened to the next Greg Oden, Mullins?
According to all the AAU scouts and recruiting services, he was supposed to be the next one and done. Just goes to show, that you should always take the "number of stars" with a huge grain of salt.
