Ordinarily my hate for Purdue would trump all but I have specific hate reserved for Michigan on the
topic of B1G championships specifically, so fuck em. Also Purdue sucks and they’re good for at least one more loss so no harm done  Previous Message
If a Big Ten title means a lot to you, then naturally you’d root for Purdue.
If getting the best possible seed in the tournament is your top priority, then we really need Michigan to win. Purdue’s schedule sets up really nicely for them to eventually get to the 2 line even if they lose tomorrow, but a win tomorrow makes it exponentially more likely.

BLAM, there's my opinion people - behold
