Yep, minimizing multiple +100 rpi loses is a key to a higher seed. Iu proved that last year. They had the wins last year to warrant a 3 or 4 seed however the losses to penn state(121), unlv(148), and wake(154) were the reason they won the big 10 regular season and ended up with a 5 seed Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

your right there was no excuse to lose that game. It will be a bad loss in fans eyes but in the committee eyes( the only ones that matter) , if Fort Wayne wins there league like they did last year and are projected to do this year they will be in the top 75 in rpi which will not be considered a bad loss. As long as that would be iu's worst loss it won't effect them. Examples from previous years. Kansas lost to tcu ( rpi +200 on the road) and still got a 1 seed, last year they lost to Oklahoma st on the road(+150 rpi) and still got a 1 seed) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Villanova up 2 on LaSalle 15 to go. Big 5 game Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

rankings are weekly. The first game of the season 13 Indiana beat 3 Kansas. The next week Kansas fell like they should of however Kansas turned around and beat the number 1 team in the nation and got rewarded while iu lost to Fort Wayne (Ken Pom 117) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I watched old dominion take them to over time. As good as their defense can be, their offense can be that bad. They can have stretches where they really struggle to score the ball. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I wouldn't worry about those wins not looking good. Rankings are weekly and are mostly for fans to look at a brag about their team. When we get to march the committee will compare team sheets ( based on rpi) If Fort Wayne wins their league like the are projected and continue to do well in non conference( notre dame on Wednesday) their rpi will be in the 70's which will not be considered a bad loss on the road by the committee even though I still think it was. If in march Kansas, North Carolina and Indiana are close on the seeding line those wins will be significant regardless if they are ranked 7 spots better then iu Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Butler has 4 Indiana kids and of those kids 1 starts. Their best players are out of state but I agree with you. Usually when Indiana plays in states kids on other teams they always seem to have their best game Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

I watched him drop over 35 his freshman year against clay city. The game was close and then he just took over and hit like 4 threes in a row including a step back. Nothing like class A or class 2a basketball games in Indiana. That place was electric. Trey lyles had a friend on cloverdale as well and was he losing his mind watching copper. While I wished clay city would of won it was one of those nights where u where glad u were in the gym to see it Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Indiana transfer Max Hoetzel is currently leading San Diego State in rebounding (7.5). Also shooting 38.5% from 3. Very good MWC player. @jonrothstein Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Newkirk has been terrific in spurts and also has been down right terrible in some of his basketball decisions as well. Definitely a lot of potential to improve Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Bridges gets rattled too easy and his body language sucks when things are not going his way. You would hope he matures as the season progresses. Jackson should of never gotten that offensive rebound Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners
