Updated Big Ten Tournament Seeding Predictions

After the Hoosiers' unexpected win last night over the Spartans, my Big Ten Tournament seeding predictions have changed a bit.  I will try to update these after every day or two of games, since I know you all care.  Here are the current standings, with the conference record, each team's remaining games, and my predictions:

1.  Indiana (12-2):  at Minn (W), Iowa (W), OSU (W), at Michigan (L)

2.  Michigan State (11-3):  at OSU (L), at Michigan (L), Wisconsin (W), NW (W)

3 (tie).  Wisconsin (9-4):  at NW (W), Nebraska (W), Purdue (W), at MSU (L), at PSU (W)

3 (tie).  Michigan (9-4):  Illinois (W), at PSU (W), MSU (W), at Purdue (W), IU (W)

12.  Penn State (0-13):  at Illinois (L), Michigan (L), at Minnesota (L), at NW (L), Wisconsin (L)
