Michigan State’s upset lossto Illinois on Tuesday illumi-nated just how deep the Big Tenis this season.

The Illini are one of fourteams that aren’t in the mix forat-large bids, but the overalldepth of the league meansthere are no easy outs, whichthe Spartans learned the hard

way in dropping from the No. 2line to a No. 3 seed in the latestbracket projection.

Taking a look at the Big Tenas a whole, Michigan (project-ed No. 2 seed), Michigan State(No. 3), Purdue (No. 3), Wiscon-sin (No. 4), Iowa (No. 5), Mary-land (No. 6), Minnesota (No. 9),Ohio State (No. 9), Indiana(No. 10) and Nebraska (No. 11)all would be in the field of 68 ifthe season ended today.

Three of those teams are

well below .500 in their confer-ence, with the Cornhuskers 3-8in Big Ten play. Yet take a closerlook at their résumé and seethat their non-conferenceschedule speaks volumes andthey’re No. 33 in the NCAA’snew metric replacing the RPI,the NET. It just goes to showhow the Big Ten stacks up outof conference.

On the other side of thespectrum, Purdue struggled innon-conference action, start-

ing the season 6-5. But none ofthe Boilermakers’ losses was acomplete resume stain andthey’ve used a 9-2 Big Tenstance to climb to No. 11 in theNET.

For teams hovering aroundthe bubble, the Big Ten’sstrength could prevent a much-needed winning streak. Butthere’s also plenty of room tobulk up the profile each week, aluxury Big Ten bubble teamshaven’t had in recent years.

The record for teams to godancing from one conference is11, set by the Big East in 2011.Last year, the Big Ten sent sixteams to the tournament, so it’sclearly a better year for theleague, ranking second only tothe Big 12 in conference NET.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL BRACKETOLOGY

February upsets show depth of talent in Big TenShelby Mast and Scott GleesonUSA TODAY

February is a key month forcollege men’s basketball teamsin determining their fate in thefield of 68 for the NCAA tourna-ment.

Here’s a look at five teamsthat spiraled in January duringthe first half of conference playand now have something toprove in February — on highalert as March Madness nears.(Note: Seeds are based on USATODAY’s tournament bracke-tology as of Wednesday)

❚ Seton Hall (projected No. 11 seed): The Pirates (13-9,4-6 Big East) beat Kentucky inan overtime thriller and haveanother quality road win overMaryland. But they haven’tfared well in Big East action,having lost their last six ofeight, including two against pe-rennial bottom feeder DePaul.Winning in February will be keyconsidering Seton Hall’s lasttwo games of the Big East reg-ular season are against the toptwo teams, Villanova and Mar-quette. Myles Powell (21.6points per game) and othersneed to step up.

❚ Indiana (projected No. 10seed): The Hoosiers (13-9, 4-7Big Ten) snapped a seven-

game losing streak that nearlyfoiled their Big Dance hopes bytaking down a projected No. 3seed, Michigan State, on theroad Saturday. But one hugewin will not revive a stainedresume. Indiana has its workcut out in February, with everyBig Ten matchup against anNCAA tournament-caliberteam, starting with Iowa onThursday. If freshman star Ro-meo Langford can start con-necting from beyond the arc,Indiana is a different team (cur-rently ranking 321st nationallyin made 3-pointers). Coach Ar-chie Miller’s ability to get Indi-ana playing defense like his oldDayton teams will be key head-ing into March.

❚ Ohio State (projected No. 9 seed): Coach Chris Holt-mann had this team in the top25 with only one loss at the endof December. Then the NewYear saw the Buckeyes (14-7,4-6 Big Ten) take a turn for theworse as they lost five in a rowin January. Ohio State’s Febru-ary schedule will be tough withroad tests against Indiana,Michigan State and Maryland.Defensively, this team is sound,allowing 65 points per game.Big man Kaleb Wesson also hasexcelled in his sophomore sea-son, scoring 27 points in Ohio

State’s Feb. 2 win over Rutgers. ❚ Mississippi (projected

No. 7 seed): Four consecutivelosses have pushed the Rebels(14-7, 4-4 Southeastern Confer-ence) back on the seeding line,and they’ve yet to face theSEC’s top teams in projectedNo. 1 seeds Tennessee and Ken-tucky. Mississippi can’t affordto lose to lower-tier teams if itwants to avoid the NCAA tour-nament bubble. Breein Tyreeand Terence Davis give theRebls a dynamic backcourt tolean on.

❚ Oklahoma (projected No. 7 seed): The Sooners (15-8,3-7 Big 12) have lost five of theirlast seven games and seven of their last 11. But thanks to anon-conference slate that fea-tured only one loss, to a re-spectable Wisconsin team,there’s enough on the resumeto keep Oklahoma in the safezone, for now. The Soonershave the country’s fifth-beststrength of schedule and hold a top-10 non-conference SOS,which gives them a profilecushion. But the selection com-mittee can only give a team somuch leeway. With three of the next five on the roadagainst NCAA tournament-forecasted teams, Oklahomawill be tested.

Seton Hall (13-9), featuring Pirates’ top scorer Myles Powell, has defeated Kentucky and Marylandbut has lost six of its last eight games. BRIAN SPURLOCK/USA TODAY SPORTS
