B1G Tournament 1 seed killers
Was thinking about this on Saturday after we won, but had to go to the Michigan Hockey game after MBB so I didn't get a chance to research it.
Michigan is the only team to eliminate the B1G Tournament 1 seed in 3 consecutive years. Not only 3 times, but no team has even done it in back-to-back years.
As you can see, Michigan has the most win over B1G Tournament 1 seeds with 3.

1998 | Michigan State | 8 Minnesota (Quarterfinals) |
1999 | Michigan State | Won tournament |
2000 | Ohio State | 9 Penn State (Quarterfinals) |
2001 | Illinois | 4 Indiana (Semifinals) |
2002 | Wisconsin | 9 Iowa (Quarterfinals) |
2003 | Wisconsin | 8 Ohio State (Quarterfinals) |
2004 | Illinois | 2 Wisconsin (Championship) |
2005 | Illinois | Won tournament |
2006 | Ohio State | 2 Iowa (Championship) |
2007 | Ohio State | Won tournament |
2008 | Wisconsin | Won tournament |
2009 | Michigan State | 5 Ohio State (Semifinals) |
2010 | Ohio State | Won tournament |
2011 | Ohio State | Won tournament |
2012 | Michigan State | Won tournament |
2013 | Indiana | 4 Wisconsin (Semifinals) |

You think of the most outlandish stuff, and that’s not a diss.
I can relate to both of those pictures depending on what day it is.
Well...you do at least enough to snark.
He has the right merit badge
Asshole meritocracy?
The moral of this story is "if you're a one seed, pray to God that you don't have to play us."
not faring too well either...
FUCK YOU 6 SEEDS
Seems like a LONG time ago when Indiana was a 1 seed, but it was only 2016
Well, that's nice and all...
But I'd kinda like Michigan to start earning more of those #1 seeds instead of having to beat them in the tournament. :)
Seems more fun to do it this way :)
True. But doing it the other way gets an extra banner and a better seed in the NCAAs. Win-win, really. :)
good again? I miss that rivalry...
No thanks.
I think they will be with Underwood. We saw how good OSU was last year, I have to think he can do something similar in the Big Ten.
Just checked Illinois' Kenpom page and amazingly their only senior is Mark Alstork, grad transfer from Wright State. Assuming their young guys progress in the offseason and get a better understanding of Underwood's system, seems logical they should be much improved.
Never stop posting WD.
You may be many things, but a Michigan fan is truly one of them.
Uniformz threads should still be limited to 1 per week max during the season though.
Gotta save room for The Bachleor threads.
per season.
.333
Think this was more the point being made...
- Pre-2016: 0-6
- 2016-present: 3-0
Thanks for posting. :)
Crazy to be reminded that Illinois used to be pretty good at basketball.
They suck at all the major sports now.
The men's tennis team is always pretty good, but c'mon man, hire a real AD, some real coaches, and compete.
Or..., I suppose I am good with spanking them for a while longer.
Boy, Indiana sure didn't follow up that 2016 Big Ten title very well...
We want to continue. Unless of course we are the number one seed which would also be great!
GO BLUE!!
