Here are all of the RU opponents playing in the postseason this year, so far as I've been able to tell. If I missed anyone, let me know.
NCAAs
#2 Iowa
#3 Maryland
#8 Michigan
#9 Michigan State
#9 Gonzaga
#10 Indiana
#10 Drake
WNIT
Ohio State
Harvard
Minnesota
Northwestern
Virginia Tech
WBI
None
Bonus: Some of my favorite team nicknames from teams mentioned in Games of Interest this season
Boilermakers (Purdue)
Cornhuskers (Nebraska)
Crimson (Harvard)
Ducks (Oregon)
Dukes (Duquesne – I’m a sucker for alliteration)
Eagles (American, but really only because of the combination of school and nickname)
Hawkeyes (Iowa)
Highlanders (NJIT, Radford)
Jackrabbits (South Dakota State)
Lobos (New Mexico)
Phoenix (Green Bay)
Quakers (Pennsylvania)
Peahens (St. Peter’s)
Red Flash (St. Francis (PA))
Salukis (Southern Illinois)
Even with the points off for the entirely unoriginal Illini and Hoosiers, the B1G has excellent nickname game - the Wolverines and Terrapins came close to making the list.
