Since 2012, only one #6 seed has made the semi-finals of the Big-10 tournament. But winning this game will give us a good chance to move off the dreaded #8/9 seed. We have moved up to #29 in Kenpom, #33 in the NET and 8.03 in the Bracket Matrix. Since 1985, the #1 seed has a 158-28 record against those two seeds. Getting to play the #1 in the second round is only 50/50 anyway.
