Can the Hoosiers go dancing?

[Uspshoosier 44,207]

I just heard today that there is no committee this year. Just a computer generated field essentially. I find that hard to believe but was told that by a good source.

That’s false. IU great Chris Reynolds is in his first year of being a committee member

So what your saying is he’s some sort of computer. Interesting

Is it bad that I’d be happy just winning a couple games in the BTT?

2 more wins means we improved over last year even with the mountain of injuries.

Just win baby. I think this team is playing at its best now albeit 1 win. Players are finding roles and turnovers are quickly rewarded with pine. Crunch time Romeo gets the ball, shots have looked better, and Race has been a very pleasant surprise. He takes up space and holds ground, rebounds, looks to pass first and makes our team better. Our d has also been good or better. If we can continue to get better, we probably still won’t make the tournament. But we will be fun to watch and gives momentum going into crunch time recruiting.

No because our history in it is horrible. Winning more than one rarely happens for us

I believe..... kind of. If nothing else, the BTT is our dance. I do have a little more optimism for next year at this point.

I can guarantee the committee looks at conference records if bad enough. 2 games under .500? They’ve put that in with an at large. 4 games under? Never. Why? Because when you are 4 games under, you aren’t a good enough team.

Except they don’t as USPS has told you at least 3 times.

This is exactly why I think if we win out and win 1 game in the BTT we’ll be in no doubt. I remember Georgia got in at 16-14 and lost in first round of SEC tourney based on SOS alone in the early 2000s I believe. This net/quad system will do wonders for us...just have to take care of business.

At this point, the committee could tell him and he wouldn’t believe it. Ignore facts and go with hot takes!

While I am fully on board for this discussion and also believe there is a legitimate chance we make the field, beating MSU on Saturday will be a tall task that I feel like some of us are forgetting about. The Hall's gotta be rocking and these Hoosiers gotta come out hot; I have faith and certainly believe we can run the table.

He may say that, but when was the last time a team that was 8-12 in conference was considered for an at-large bid?


Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

1992-Iowa St (5-9) received an at-large and 1998-Florida St (6-10) received an at-large. You can hate all you want but conference record is not a factor

When was the last time one had no bad losses and what would certainly be at least 9 quad 1 wins.

Well considering this is the first time any conference has ever played a 20 game schedule, your answer is that an 8-12 team has NEVER been considered! :-) 

But that also means that a team that is 4 games under .500 has NEVER had 8 conference wins. Combine that with the possibility of 6-7 quad 1 wins, which no other bubble team will be able to claim, and we certainly have a chance. I'm not overly optimistic we win out though, and even if we beat MSU again, and then possibly lose to Illinois, I think a 7-13 conference record makes it impossible.

Since the B1G this year is the first conference to go to 20 games the answer to your question would be 0 since this is the first year a 8-12 conference record could happen

So many are quick to make that flying leap off the cliff and just as quick to pull the ripcord afterward.

I’m still incredibly frustrated we are in that situation but better than being eliminated already. 

Play with heart and the next 5 are all winnable. Illinois is our only road game. And two neutral site

This Quad thing is will become the biggest excuse to throw in large schools for their money making. The one and only thing they care about anymore. Mid majors and small school will be screwed by this trash along with the new NET rating.

Rightfully so, does anyone out there think Buffalo would finish in the top half of the Big Ten this year?
