Surprisingly, an upset in Iowa City, Iowa, took a step toward turning this chaotic Big Ten basketball season a bit more predictable with three games yet to finish.
Nebraska, which blew a big halftime lead in its senior-night game Tuesday against Michigan State basketball, upset Iowa in the Hawkeyes’ home finale, handing Michigan State another gift: A guaranteed top-four seed and a double-bye in the upcoming Big Ten tournament. The Spartans will be either the No. 3 seed, with a 9 p.m. Friday start time, or the No. 4, with a 2:30 Friday.
Michigan basketball, however, weren’t as much on the receiving end of things.
