their tournament one game earlier than expected. They need to be in a "win and advance" mode from here on out.

With a Purdue win on Saturday they can finish no worse that the #5 seed in the BTT
With a Purdue win on Saturday and a Wisconsin (v OSU) win, they can finish no worse than 4th seed in the BTT
With a Purdue and Wisconsin win and an IU win (v MSU), they will likely finish as the #3 seed in the BTT
With a Purdue, OSU and IU victory, they'll likely finish as the #4 seed in the BTT

With a loss, Purdue would most likely be a #6 seed but could go as high as #5 based on the other outcomes.

Bottom line is root for Purdue, Wisconsin and (ugh) IU to win.

Match ups most likely will be OSU if Purdue's the #3 seed or Iowa is Purdue's the #4 seed. Personally would rather face OSU on a neutral court.

With a win against Illinois, there's no chance of facing MSU again unless it would be in the finals. Should Purdue lose and fall in to the #6 spot, they could face MSU as they'd likely be the #3 seed with a win over IU. I'd welcome that opportunity.
