The other metrics and SOS are close enough together so not much separation. IU has 4 Q1 and X only has 1. For me I take IUs resume over X

IU over Xavier. Close but ius win at Sparty is better the X win at Marquette

What he does every year. Post ones that get the most clicks and drives what is posted everywhere during champ week on all the espn2 platforms. He might not be the best or even close anymore however he definitely is the most visible throughout the year and especially this week.

Unc AD is committee chair this year

Yeah still better than Palm though

Probably but they could be right above that because the teams around them all have flaws and it will depend on what committee decides is more important

Lunardi started today out with IU 3 spots away from being in his projected field. He then jumped IU over Texas and Unc while none played and then moved them all the way in with a Boise St loss. I told you a couple days ago he would do this

Not going to be cool

I can guarantee you OSU isn’t no matter what the chair was saying on TV. 0 chance

Hypothetically if IU was the last team in the field the AAC final ends late like the B1G and there will be a chance of a bid steal if Memphis loses could push IU out at the latest possible time

They would fall into the category of all these other bubble teams

Lunardi moved IU to first team out ahead of UNC and Texas. Had to make that move now so he can move IU into the field later tomorrow

Not the first but my wife and I have been going for a long time. Missed the Covid year and the year after when it was limited in Indy

Purdue at home as well. Another win against a protected seed.

Most the committee is from mid major or low major schools so maybe this is the year the mid major teams get more loved.

Their AD is the head of the committee chair this year

All depends on what they find the most important this year. NET number won’t hold IU back. Total body of work over the year. It will be interesting to see however I do have IU ahead of each of these teams for different reasons. I would rank them IU, Texas, Xavier then UNC

Committee always has a surprise or 2 each year. The fun of doing this is trying to project what they will do. Last year they put Virginia in the tourney when most of us had them out. The year IU got a 10 seed most on here said IU was out when I was saying they would make it. Not only did they make it that year but Ohio st ended up being behind them on the seed list. Hopefully this will be like that year where people think they are out but they make it. Let’s see if Memphis, VCU, UC- San Diego and Boise win to prevent the least amount of bid stealers. Last year we ended up with 5 which screwed ISU

Lunardi just said on espn that he isn’t sure the IU is out of it for a bid he just doesn’t think they are that good. It’s not a resume problem it’s a basketball problem with him and IU. Par the course for him with IU. They year IU got a 10 seed he had them out and I remember them asking if there was a team he wasn’t confident about and he said IU will probably get in but I’m not changing it. Still think he will change it tomorrow where they are ahead of Unc and Texas

Ethan Morton effect

Not as strong this year

If it’s anything like last year you won’t see any respect. They were under seeded across the board last year in my opinion

Not sure at this time however Sunday morning I will post my final bracket
