Update - Conference records after 3/3/25, morning of 3/4/25, plus remaining opponents ... renumbered, updated record and remaining opponents - did reorder this morning:
7. Illinois (10-8) ... @Mich, Purdue
8. Oregon (10-8) ... Indiana, @Washington
9. Indiana (9-9) ... @Oregon, Ohio St
10. Ohio St (8-10) ... Nebraska, @Indiana
11T. RU (7-11) ... @ Purdue, Minnesota
11T. Nebraska (7-11) ... @Ohio St, Iowa
11T. Minnesota (7-11) ... Wisconsin, @Rutgers
14. Northwestern (7-12) ... @Maryland
15. USC (6-12) ... Washington, @UCLA
16. Iowa (6-12) ... Michigan St, @Nebraska
17. Penn St (5-14) ... @Wisconsin
18. Washington (4-14) ... @USC, Oregon
UCLA coming back to beat NW in the last minute was very good for RU.
Games of relevance for RU:
Tuesday, 3/4:
RU @Purdue: Obviously root hard for RU
Nebraska @OSU: Root for OSU to give Nebraska 12 conference losses
Indiana @Oregon: No longer relevant (if RU had beaten Michigan, it might have been relevant for seeding purposes, but not relevant any more.
Wednesday, 3/5:
Wisconsin @Minnesota: Root for Wisconsin, get Minnesota to 12 losses ... Even if RU beats Purdue, RU might STILL have to beat Minnesota to make the Big 10 tourney ... It depends on how other games shake out.
Washington @USC: Root for Washington, though they are not very good, even at home. Still, getting USC to 13 losses would be good for RU.
Maryland @Michigan is not relevant for RU.
Thursday 3/6:
Michigan St @ Iowa: Root for Michigan St.
FYI: RU can clinch a slot in the Big 10 tourney if RU wins today, and either if USC loses on Wednesday. or Iowa loses on Thursday. Otherwise, RU will have to wait until the weekend, maybe even Sunday - RU (vs Minnesota), and Nebraska and Iowa (vs each other), play Sunday. Northwestern and USC play Saturday.
Another FYI, not really relevant, but maybe of interest: If RU wins out and Ohio St loses out, RU finishes with the 10th seed.
