Not top 10 however a non con road game at a Net top 29 team and neutral court game against a Net top 13 team could of been replaced with other home games that could of produced a higher chance of a better record. Overall I’m saying the philosophy of playing Arizona, Louisville, Kentucky or Kansas or not beneficial to IU as a program right now. Scheduling lesser power 4 programs should be the move until IUs program is at a place where they can win back to back winning conference records

IU is 47th WAB on the team sheet IU finished the regular season 3-11 on the road. 7 of the 11 were to top 34 teams with 4 of the them to the top 11 9 of their 11 road games were against top 76 teams. IU took advantage of its 2 road games against 150 + teams. IU just didn’t get many opportunities against 75-150 range teams where they might of took advantage of those teams for some cheap Q1 or Q2 wins. The 2 games they had in this area they didn’t take advantage but in my opinion would of had a better chance to win those games instead of the top of the bracket teams with the roster they had.

If they win 3 in a row they won’t be in Dayton

Flip side of that is not getting to play Oregon, Penn St, Washington, Northwestern on the road wasn’t a good. break. As pointed out IU couldn’t compete with top of the bracket teams on the road or home so missing out on 4 road games where they had a better shot to win cheap Q1 or Q2 games against non tourney teams. End of the day they didn’t win enough but unbalanced schedules played a part. Again no guarantee they would of won those games however I would like their chances better playing them then the top of the league on road

Zona down 1 with 12 min to go at Colorado

North Dakota wins it

Turnover st Thomas. North Dakota shooting FTs with under sec to go

Tie game 22 sec to go. St Thomas ball

North Dakota up 2 with 1 min to go in the Summit Semifinals

Oklahoma wins it

W Carolina moves on

Texas storms back and sends it to OT after hitting 3 FTs

Tie game. 50 sec to go

The way it works sometimes. I think many would agree this roster wasn’t B1G level after the first couple league games or even before. Unbalance schedule didn’t go their way. They played the second hardest B1G schedule with a non B1G roster. Would have been nice if more of their road games were against middle of the pack or bottom of the league teams. No guarantee they would have won them however they had no shot playing the top of the league teams on the road. Schedule better in the non con and you have this flawed roster in the tourney first year. Either way it was a flawed roster to begin with that had no shot of making a run if they made it

Oklahoma trying to claw their way onto the bubble. Up 12 at Texas with 7 min to go

SoCon is delivering in the Quarterfinals W Carolina up 1 over Mercer with 5:45 to go. 5/4 matchup

Bubble teams just win one game and you will be in good shape. Bubble teams in every conference today

UCLA up 15 at USC. If this holds Purdue is the 7th seed in the B1G tourney Minny up 10 At home on Northwestern

Do you think Purdue lost on purpose to get the 7th seed just so their Seniors get a chance at playing IU again so they finish 5-4 against them? Joking of course but crazy how the bracket falls.

IU losers of 5 out if their last 6 is probably still going to be projected in the last 4 in for some bracketologist because everyone around them is losing. Wade has lost 6 of his last 7 games Iowa is in danger of losing 6 out of their last 8 with a loss at Nebraska tomorrow SMU has lost 4 straight Auburn is about to lose 8 out of its last 10 games Please no tournament expansion.

Auburn down big at Bama

Bid on the line. OVC championship Morehead St/Tennessee St on ESPN 2

A&M wins it

IU could have been projected solidly in the field if they scheduled better in the non conference. No reason for the program as it is to today to be scheduling games like Kentucky and Louisville. Fans want them but they do 0 for the program and have done 0 for them the last 4 years. They have been easy Q1 wins for the other teams that help their resume. IU would have been better off scheduling lower level power 5 programs or even Miami(oh) and that would have giving them a better chance at improving their resume. Iowas “big” non conference wins this year were Grand Canyon and Ole Miss (4-14 in conference) and that gave them 2 Q1 wins.
