if you remember last year we benefited from it. Our wins over smu, Pittsburgh, butler early in the year is why after we lost 4 of 5 at the end of the year we still got a 10 seed ( lunardi had us out of the tournament while other bracketologist had us in the first 4 in Dayton)

it is not a requirement for the committee to take in consideration how a team finishes. 10 years ago they factored in the last 10 games but now they focus on the whole body of work. Committee chair has been quoted as saying a game in November means just as much as one in March

i saw some post a letter they wrote to say thanks on Facebook a couple of weeks ago

because in the past 24 years no 1 seed has more than 1 loss to a +100 rpi team and we have 3 in my opinion that's why I think our ceiling is a 2 seed

im not sure where you are going with this but with the players he recruited to butler he was a national runner up in back to back years plus if he ever was to coach iu I'm going to bet with the resources and iu name that he would recriut higher level talent. Example would be Shaka smart. He had to recruit lower level players that fit his system at vcu but now that he is at Texas he has landed 5 star recruits. Good coaches will adapt to their environment

he has his best class coming in next year that features 2 top 100 kids he actually beat us out for ( Carr and Stevens both Philly kids so no big surprise)

depending on who you follow some will have whicita St in the field and some will have them not making the field http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/rpi/_/teamId/2724 To me that doesn't look like an at-large resume

that was a horrible showing. The 2 out of 4 years I was at Isu we went to 2 straight tounaments. Royce had them playing good. I always thought the program missed out on building on that momentum

just remember you are basing that off of joe lunardi's projections and last year he had us as the first team out and we ended up with a 10 seed

@jppalmcbs UNC won 14 ACC games and an outright title, but only 2 of those wins came against the other 5 top 50 teams And people complain about iu's conference schedule

@jeffrabjohns Kris Wilkes 11 points. North Central up 15-10 on Lawrence Central after 1 quarter. Kyle Guy 8 for LC.

best possible teams to improve resume for a potential 2 seed. I like it.

@ebosshoops In Colorado quarterfinal action. #Indiana bound De’Ron Davis has been efficient and unstoppable. 14 points, 8 rebounds (6-6 FG) at half.

great minds think alike

8 seed Austin peay up 5 at half trying to win thre automatic bid. If they do win tonight iu will have 1-0 record against the field so far to date

you can dislike other teams even though it's only a game right. I went to terre haute south and to this day I don't give a crap about terre haute north and I'm 37

just curious out of what I posted how was I disrespectful towards you. Maybe you are disrespectful towards me and my views

i sound like someone who doesn't give a crap about a rival school I have disliked my entire life so yeah I guess you could call me a hater of wildcats from down south. Thanks for pointing that out

why sure i would but what the hell does that have to do with Kentucky. You asked how someone can ignore there final 4's. Pretty simple I don't like them and want nothing to do with them and since it's a free country I have a choice not to give a crap about their program which I take full advantage of. If you like them and want to respect them good for you that your choice and I won't question it Just for future reference no matter what stat you throw out there about kensucky, spoiler alert: it's not going to change my stance

good for them

One of those teams had a chance to win 4 titles in a 4 year span the other could only win 3

all depends who actually comes back for Kentucky. If Michigan st gets Jackson as well they will have more depth, they will lose he seniors which will hurt but they will have tons who played this year while Valentine was out. Harris, Tum Tum, Davis if he is back, Ellis, Clark, Macquaid, schilling, goins all played meaningful minutes plus add that monster class in my opinion they will be right up there with the other 2

as will Michigan st

hit the small x in upper right. That's what I did

not for me
