[NU Sports] Section 30, Rule IV.A.2

[John Labbe]

I might be the one who said that, but that's only if we lose to Ohio  
State (and Michigan beats Minnesota, which they did).  If we beat Ohio  
State, I think we're a lock for the 7th seed, and we will play Iowa  
(10th seed) in the first round.  If we lose to OSU, we'll definitely  
be the 9th seed, and I think Minnesota will be the 8th seed and the  
team we will play in the first round.
