the tournament format is pretty insane. Archived Message Posted by ijustkrushalot on May 20, 2025, 15:01:25, in reply to "Happy Illinois beats Michigan in Yet Another Sport day to all who celebrate " 3 team pools, and per the B1G website, if there's a tie in the standings, highest seed advances. Basically, Michigan's season is already over, but they have to play UCLA on Thursday. If Illinois wins tomorrow, they go 2-0 and win the pool. If Illinois loses tomorrow, UCLA either: - Beats Michigan to go 2-0 and UCLA advances - Loses to Michigan, everyone is 1-1, and UCLA advances.
