The women's Big Ten Tournament is [checks watch] under way today with the 12/13 and 11/14 games, so the order of operations is flipped this week.

The Terps came close to doubling up any other Big Ten team with their +21.3 average scoring margin in conference play. Michigan finished alone in seventh after beating Illinois and losing to Indiana last week, setting up a Thursday evening conference tournament game against ten-seed Nebraska. A victory in that game would give them a quarterfinal matchup with Northwestern and a better opportunity to play their way above the 8/9 line for the NCAA Tournament. For the moment, the Wolverines project as a nine-seed, though their adjusted net rating on the season (28th nationally, per Her Hoop Stats) suggests they have the quality of a seven-seed. The BTT Bracket click for big Michigan-Nebraska tips off at 6:30 ET tomorrow on BTN; they'd face Northwestern at the same time Friday if they advance.
