The chance for a bad loss is behind us. Even if Purdue somehow lost to Nebraska in the Big Ten Tournament final, it wouldn't be a mad loss because the Cornhuskers would have had a significant RPI boost from beating Wisconsin, Maryland, Michigan State, and Purdue on consecutive days. They would also be in the NCAA Tournament with an automatic bid. The Boilers might get one more loss before the tournament, but they also might get two wins. Beating Illinois and Michigan is not going to help as much as beating Iowa and Indiana would have, but a win over the Wolverines should at least provide some heft.
