Sorry I missed out on previewing the semi-finals. My buddies threw me a diaper party and I was gone most of the day. Anyway, on to the match-up most people (including myself) didn’t expect.

#1 seed Ohio State fresh off a double overtime win over #5 seeded Illinois looks to make their case for that forth number #1 seed that seems to still be up for grabs. Most so called experts believe Duke will capture that fourth 1 seed with a win today in the ACC tournament championship game. Nonetheless, Ohio State has a lot to play for today.

#6 seed Minnesota looks to win their 4th game in 4 days and punch their ticket to the NCAA tournament. As of right now they are on the bubble and in a group of 6 teams battling for 2 at large bids. We’ll see if Tubby Smith’s team has enough left in the tank to upset the Buckeyes today.

Minnesota has looked very impressive on their way to the championship game with wins over Indiana, Michigan State and Purdue. Ohio State needed a 37 foot buzzer beater by Evan Turner to get by Michigan in the quarter finals and double overtime to beat Illinois in the semi-finals. I think Minnesota plays hard today and keeps this game close. I’m not sure if they’ll have enough to get them over the top. So I’m going with Ohio State to win this year’s Big Ten Tournament in a close one against Minnesota, in the end just too much Evan Turner.

Today is Selection Sunday!
