    It will be interesting to see who the last 2 teams in the tournament end up being this year. Those teams can thank smu and Louisville for their spot in the dance

    it was 2 hrs last year but I think the first hour was on espnu. This year I only think it is an hour

    it will all depend on how each team is playing at the time. Game day doesn't announce where they are going until the Saturday before. If we are both highly ranked then I could defiantly see them coming for that game but if one of us is not playing well and 2 other highly ranked teams are playing great they will go to the other place. 3 times Jay Williams leaked where game day was heading early on social media last year. So far this year he hasn't gave it away

    I see Illinois tripping a top team at home. Hopefully it's against iowa Sunday and not us down the road. Maryland still has to go to purdue What would make for an awesome atmosphere if on the last game of the year the against Maryland was for the regular season title or better yet we are 1 game up going into it. I'm sure Iowa will be right there until the end

    Providence lost. Keep in mind Bentil got hurt in 1st half and didn't play most of the game but they still shouldn't lose to depaul

    Indiana @ Michigan Post-Game Thread

    if you think a fluke can beat Texas number 16 in the rpi on a neutral court and the number 7 rpi team Maryland on a court where we were up 27 then sure I guess you can think it's because they had they 2nd easiest schedule in the big but I will choose to believe that iu actually played a good team and showed why everyone in the preseason had them 13th

    iu looked pretty good during a 28-0 run on Michigan

    im not sure how much they really look into margin of a loss. Every team can have a bad showing. Xavier got pounded by 31 at Villanova. I would hope they wouldn't punish them for that loss because I believe Xavier is a top 5 team. Just remember the committee didn't punish wisky last year when they had a loss to a plus 200 rpi team Rutgers. They still give them a 1 seed

    i could see the big 12 getting 2 teams on the 1 line. Whoever wins that conference deserves the 1 overall seed. As of today 6 teams in the rpi top 25

    kansas would have a loss to Oklahoma st rpi 131 which in the committee's eyes would be a bigger loss then ours at Duke

    if we won out that would mean we would have 5 top 25 wins (2 of those on the road) and 2 others wins against top 35. Winning out includes the BTT so after bye we would probably play 2 teams in top 30 on neutral court. So that would be a total of 9 wins against top 35 with a a 30-4 record going into the tournament. If by some miracle we did win out, lI don't think there is any way we wouldn't be a 1 seed. For reference Villanova is a projected 1 seed and they are 1-3 against rpi top 25 teams with only 2 other chances against rpi 25 teams in regular season. I'm with you probably realistically 4 seed or higher but if we won out i think we would be a lock for a 1seed just maybe not 1seed overall

    Interesting statistics top v. bottom

    gotcha the had a front loaded schedule while we have a backloaded schedule. Nice job breaking it all down

    i wouldn't call it back into the title if they sweep Michigan st, Purdue, and us I would call that earning it
  24. why not, Nebraska went into Breslin and won and I actually think we match up well with Iowa. Seems like Fran and Iowa like to run and play fast the last couple years against iu. Just depends who's hot. Last year we were 3-6 on the road in the big and 6-3 at home. It's not like we beat anyone great in conference last year on the road. Just got to make sure we go 9-0 or 8-1 at home
