February 19 RPI Updates

What a mosh pit it has become after Michigan State & Purdue in the Big Ten standings. The Illinois and Ohio State losses last night really opened things up seeding-wise for the Big Ten Tournament. The #3 through #9 seeds are wide open. How wide open is it? So much so that after this coming weekend's games, depending on how they do, the Gophers could hold anywhere from the #3 seed to the #8 seed.
