Is it possible for the league to get 10 teams in the tournament?

* Eight of 14 made it last season; KenPom conference rank was 2.
* Seven of 12 made it in 2011; KenPom conference rank was 1
* Seven of 13 made it in 2013; KenPom conference tank was 1.
* Seven of 14 made it in 2015, 2016 and 2017; KenPom conference ranks were 4, 5 and 4.

In 2019 there were 32 automatic bids. So, it would be really tough getting 10 from the Big in.

 

[CHOP 2.0]

What im reading is NET < 35 is basically a lock for the tournament, 35-45 is the high end of the bubble, and that SOS is heavily factored in the algorithm.

So, if all B1G teams are only playing each other from this point forward, the fact that there are so many highly ranked NET teams at the end of non conference play really supports that the league could end with 9 or even 10 bids if everyone just beats up on each other like has been happening so far.

Not happening because teams need to win road games for NCAA bid.

Teams in the league are going to beat the hell out of each other with almost nothing left but league games. 10 teams will not happen.

We almost had a 14 way tie for 1st after 2 games. Anything can happen.

I agree with you though!

The B1G teams that lose to Nebraska and NW, home or road, are going to severely hurt their NCAA chances.

That Illinois percentage will improve as the season progresses.

it's only going to improve at the expense of others on the list
