This time I'm projecting the remainder of the season. Crystal ball sees Illinois as the Gophers' 1st round B1G tourney opponent. Don't be surprised if Penn State (favorable remaining schedule) avoids the first day, while Nebraska and Northwestern will duke it out to avoid playing Wednesday.

Wednesday, March 9 (1st Round)
#12 Illinois (5-13) vs. #13 GOPHERS (3-15), 3:30 (ESPN2)
#11 Nebraska (6-12) vs. #14 Rutgers (0-18), 6 (BTN)

Thursday, March 10 (2nd Round)
#8 Michigan (11-7) vs. #9 Penn State (8-10), 11 (BTN)
#5 Purdue (12-6) vs. Illinois/GOPHERS winner, 1:30 (BTN)
#7 Ohio State (11-7) vs. #10 Northwestern (7-11), 5:30 (ESPN2)
#6 Wisconsin (11-7) vs. Nebraska/Rutgers winner, 8 (ESPN2)

Friday, March 11 (Quarterfinals)
#1 Indiana (14-4) vs. Michigan/Penn State winner, 11 (ESPN)
#4 Maryland (12-6) vs. Purdue/Illinois/GOPHERS winner, 1:30 (ESPN)
#2 Iowa (13-5) vs. Ohio State/Northwestern winner, 5:30 (BTN)
#3 Michigan State (13-5) vs. Wisconsin/Nebraska/Rutgers winner, 8 (BTN)
