2025 Big Ten Tournament thread - Day 1

In fairness, with #1, 2 and 3 all falling, I think if Bartlett beats Mendez tomorrow, he still gets the #1 seed at nationals.
 
Only a temporary condition, but Nebraska has caught us in the team race. Until SVN finishes it's 104.5 apiece.
 
Looks like SVN is going to have his work cut out for him if he beats Webster, Lovett is putting it on Parco.
