Nevermind. Miami is rolling bowling green

Acc conference play starts tonight. Game of the night might be Miami(Ohio) at Bowling Green

He has been hurt. Doubt he makes the trip anyway

Wasn’t pretty but that is a good home win for ISU. Need to work on late game FTs

OT

Missed 2 FTs and Belmont drains a 3 to tie it up with 11 sec

Need to hit some FTs. Hopefully turns out better than the 3OT home loss to Bradley. Graves first game back coaching fully after 3 bypass

Sparty woke up. They are up 9. Georgia now go 5 as well.

That’s tough. Wonder if his college career will be over

Cornell who doesn’t start anyone over 6’5 is tied with Sparty with 3.5 to go in the half

Georgia down 11 to Long Island with 3:40 in the first half Sparty only up 2 on Cornell in the first half

Before those 2 jumped in some probably didn’t want him anyway but now that those 2 jumped in it will be a massive blow that IU missed out on him

Yeah not happy I can’t watch that one today. Bama/Yale will have to do along with ISU/Belmont

B1G network has a quadruple header today with each team playing a buy game. Starts at 1. MVC league play today and Utah/Washington probably game of the night

As always it will depend on the wins they end up. They could 9-11 in the B1G and with the right wins they will get in or the could go 11-9 with the wrong wins and get left out. Way too early to play the if they win this amount of games they are in

Maybe or maybe not. Got to field 68 teams. To me they have just as good as chance to make it as some of the other teams being considered. All teams from 10 seeds through teams that are on the outside looking in are basically the same. Not much separation. Cream of the crop in the B1G like you wanted? Not even close. Being a team from 7-12 seed? Yep even with the flaws you pointed out they still can. Will they? If the numbers add up they will

Last year was the first year they used it and added it to the team sheet

IU finished it non conference part of the schedule last night and will enter January 10-3(1-1). They missed out on 2 Q1a games away from home and a winnable Q2 road game. Moving forward they will have plenty of Q1 and Q2 opportunities at home and away. IUs predictive metrics are solid. Average around the 20s. Ius results based metrics are lower around the mid 50’s. Sos- 175 Non con-173 for an at-large team those are respectable numbers. If your non con sos is in the high 200’s or 300 then that could become a problem. IU didn’t do anything to hurt their resume however they didn’t do much to improve their resume either. They did get a win away from home which always helps( at large team usually needs 4 wins away from home to feel safe). They also didn’t earn any Q1 wins up until this point. Good news is that they play in the B1G and will have chances to get multiple Q1 wins. If you were expecting IU to compete with the upper level teams for a B1G title this year then in my opinion you are going to be disappointed. They don’t have the roster this year for that. In my opinion Sparty, Michigan, Purdue and Illinois are a step above the rest this year (Maybe Nebraska but I can’t go that far). IU has 6 games against the top 4 (2 home games). That leaves 12 games against the rest of the league which are more winnable games. Not saying they won’t win against those top 4 but those should be looked at as bonus games. Ius most important games will be against the other teams fighting for an at-large outside the top 4. IU gets Nebraska and Iowa at home and do not have away games against those 2. Those 2 games are probably the most important games on IUs schedule for now. Most on here and nationally said IU making the tourney would be a good start for Devries in his first year. That’s easily still on the table. Reminder even teams that are tourney locks (8-11 seed) always have flaws. 8 seeds are considered teams that are comfortably in the field and not on the bubble however if you look at some 8 seeds resume you are good to see a lot of red (losses). Are losses coming to IU? Yep but in my opinion some wins will be coming as well biggest surprise of the year so far for me IUs KenPom offensive efficiency-56 IUs KenPom defensive efficiency-16

We do. Limit is 15 now however due to NIL rec sharing they want to keep it at 13

Was up 26 at half and came out of the half like they were up 26 in the last game before break. They cut it to 15 at some point and then IU stretched it back out to over 20. Gave up 4 garbage points at the end and ended up winning by 21. 8 out of the 10 wins have been by 20 or more points. Lone one being Incarnate Word who IU won by 8. They have done everything you would want them to do to Q3 and Q4 teams and even beat a Q2 team by double digits. IU hasn’t taken advantage of their Q1a opportunities but both of them were away from home. Looking forward to see how the respond in those Q1 home game opportunities

2 home games with one being against a top 12 NET team and a winnable road game to start out. They will have every opportunity to start out good in the B1G

Prairie View up 5 at half at LSU
