Hey Joe: Some Big Ten tourney scenarios for MSU

Big Ten tournament seeding is very simple for Michigan State if it wins Saturday at Indiana (noon, ESPN): The Spartans will be the No. 3 seed, playing in the last of Friday’s four games (about 9 p.m.), against the winner of Thursday’s game between the No. 6 seed and Wednesday’s 11-14 game winner. The No. 6 seed would be Iowa, Ohio State or Purdue, one of the three teams currently tied with MSU in third place, at 11-6. If all of the third-place teams win, Ohio State will drop to the No. 6 seed, by virtue of the worst record among the group of four.
