10 can be as bad as 11

How did I miss that the Wildcats are the 10th seed in the Big Ten tournament and not the 11th seed. I guess we won the tie-breaker over Penn State based on overall record?

If Northwestern can't win the Big Ten Tournament, they will not be playing the in the national post-season, by virtue of a sub-.500 record. If they do win, they will probably have the worst record of any NCAA tournament team (17-17).

But there's an even juicier possibility. What if Minnesota wins the Big Ten tourny? Can you imagine a 13-21 team in the big dance*? We can only hope.

* - Can I say "big dance," or is that like "Super Bowl?"
