My Hopeless Big Ten Tournament Picks

I am sure this will entertain someone...probably myself when I look back at it on Sunday!

First Round (Thursday)

Minnesota v. Northwestern: I take Northwestern. They are dangerous and can beat anyone on any day.

Michigan v. Iowa: Have to go with Michigan. Both teams are really streaky, but Iowa needs to make sure their shooters are on if they have a chance. I don't see it happening.

Penn State v. Indiana: If Dumes plays, IU has a chance. If not, I go with PSU.

Quarterfinals (Friday)

Michigan State v. Northwestern: Unfortunately, MSU.

Wisconsin v. Ohio State: As much as I would like to see the Badgers lose and fall to a 10 seed, I have them winning this one.

Illinois v. Michigan: Here is my upset of the tournament. Michigan wins this one.

Purdue v. Penn State: Purdue has a little more talent than Penn State.

Semi-Finals (Saturday)

Michigan State v. Wisconsin: I really want the Badgers to take this one, but they are too inconsistent to take the Spartans.

Michigan v. Purdue: Michigan goes on a Preseason NIT-like run and wins this one.

Finals (Sunday)

Michigan State v. Michigan: Michigan can only go so far, and I will lost my lunch when Tom Izzo wins the BTT.
