Michigan is streaky. If they are hitting jump shots it could be a long night. They beat a good Smu team. I'm not saying they are world beaters but any road game will bring a different challenge. I would guess Michigan and northwestern will be favored going into these games Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yeah sorry I meant other high major teams beside Indiana Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Definitely he will be playing basketball on scholarship somewhere next year. From watching him this year it wouldn't surprise me if higher major teams jump in his recruitment after the season for the late period Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Two guys that will play huge roles now for Indiana with OG Anunoby out: Zach McRoberts and Freddie McSwain. Were critical against MSU. #iubb @jon rothstein Critical lol [emoji23] I guess I have a different definition of critical then Jon Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Anyone surprised Harris had a big game against us in the hall? Indiana kid coming back to assembly hall never works out well for Indiana Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

A couple of examples of the committee not caring how a team finishes would be last year Syracuse finished losing 4 of their last 5 games with a 19-13 record heading into the tournament. In non conference that year they had 2 early wins in the November battle for Atlantis that helped them. Committee gave them a 10 seed. In my projections last year I had them out. Another would be our Hoosiers a couple years ago. Iu lost 6 of their last 9 games heading into the tournament. They were 20-13 and 9-9 before the tournament( with a loss to eastern Washington at home) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Committee got rid of how teams are playing at end of year about 5 years ago. They use to weigh the last 12 games played but don't anymore Their stance is a win in November is just as important as one in march. After taking lunardi's class online through st joes on bracketology I have a better appreciation of how hard committees job really is. I know I'm a basketball junkie. Since taking that class I look at teams differently now when judging teams Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Speaking of bad officiating go watch Georgia vs Texas A M. Georgia got hosed Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Yes just because no one else on the bubble will have 2 top 10 rpi wins. Bubble teams all show they have flaws those 2 wins stand out. Conferences like the mountain west, A-10, and American are all down so don't be surprised if there are more middle of the pack major conference teams get in this year. I'm not saying I would be thrilled if that's how we got in but just by looking at overall numbers all around college basketball bubble will be projected soft (even though they say that every year. In my opinion they wouldn't even need to win a game in the BTT if they went 9-9 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That's why I love college basketball. If u are the favorite and don't bring it anything can happen. Nebraska was 2 seconds from being 5-2 instead of 3-4 in conference Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Maybe but still brutal Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Butler down 5 (26-21) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

First place Maryland give them a boost as well Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Basketball can be so brutal. Nebraska loses its 2nd straight game on the last possession of the game. Rutgers is on the board with a B1G win. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

That's exactly what Kansas did against Kansas st. They pissed away a lead and then needed a kid to take 20 steps for a game winning layup. The whole team was celebrating. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I just think kids want to celebrate after they make a shot like that regardless of expectations. I watched Kansas ( who has won 12 straight big 12 titles) go crazy after they hit the game winner against Kansas st earlier this year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
