If Illinois loses at Wisconsin tomorrow.....????

..... do we get the 9 seed in the tournament. We'll both have 6-12 conference records with a split against each other in the head to head. We'll have a better overall record than them but I don't think that matters. Does anyone know what the tie breaker is?

They beat Michigan St. and Ohio St. so I think they get the tie breaker. The announcers today were talking like it was an automatic #10 for us with a win.

Who gets the 3 seed if Michigan St. beats Ohio St., since Ohio St. and Wisconsin would have identical conference records.

Ohio St I believe. they split so it would come down to records vs MSU both would be 0-2, then onto Michigan, Ohio St gets the nod with a 1-1 record
