As I look at the standings, it seems like NW's buzzer beater to beat the ****weasels tonight is very helpful for MSU's BTT seeding purposes.
If MSU beat's Maryland, MSU gets the 3-seed most likely and the winner of the Minnesota-Wisconsin game will most likely get the 2-seed.
But, even if MSU loses to Maryland, as long as NW doesn't upset Purdue, MSU is going to wind up in a multiple team tie where we have the tiebreaker advantage. In a three-way tie with Michigan and NW, MSU now would get the highest remaining seed, which would be the 5-seed. Minnesota most likely gets the 4-seed in that scenario. In this case, MSU would need to beat the winner of the 12-13 game (maybe Indiana or Penn State?) in the BTT and that would seem to look up the bid to 100% certainty.
