I definitely don’t disagree with you. My line of thought wants us to avoid playing the first day so we have zero chance of having a ‘bad loss’ going into selection Sunday (if it were to matter). Playing the Thursday would guarantee a good win/not a bad loss Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

On top of that, if Illinois beats OSU, we get 8th. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

If home teams win (minus Maryland beat Rutgers and Penn State beating NW), we get 9th and avoid the first day Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Just quoting your post because its the one that reminded me of the website below.. playing around with http://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=mbb ... If all home teams win (minus Maryland @ Rutgers), then hoosiers end as the 9 seed and avoid the play-in day. Obviously, too many scenarios to play them all out, but with how difficult it can be to win on the road, its not necessarily unlikely that this could play out in our favor...

Neither of which have Indiana listed. Good news for those naysayers Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Are you on that website? Didn’t know if you published yours or just do it for fun. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I called him one of the top bracketologist because he is ranked #1 over the past 5 years, per bracketmatrix.com Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I thought that sounded low, too, but didn’t take time to look into it. USPS—you think one more win gets us in, whether it be in regular season or BTT? Or more? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Possibly not, but I didnt ask the question ‘what does IU need to do to get in’ I asked what they needed to do to solidify the tournament...AKA become a ‘lock.’ We can still get in without winning 3 more games **Edited for a typo Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I asked one of the top bracketologist what IU had to do ‘solidify’ the tournament and the picture is his response. doesn’t mean less doesn’t get us in, his thought I’d share. Similar to your thoughts Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

We need a dog. Never watched him but that ITH article/interview makes him seem like one. Bring him for ‘20 and keep him 2-3 years Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

The NET is ridiculous. I think they KNOW its ridiculous which is why they have a 'secret' formula for it....

We will be in with 19 wins, I believe, depending strongly on how those around us do. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

6 point 'dog.

I agree that I hope it passes...and that IU sets up some sort of role to scout potential transfers in season. That is a must IMO to be successful at getting those players.

ahh -- hadn't considered the grad transfer. I was thinking completely about underclassmen.

I thought 1 (Anderson comes to mind given his struggles and diminished role)....who might you be thinking about for the other? (you don't have to name a name if you dont want to). For the record, I have ZERO inside information - just a speculation that I could see happening.

Well, I can't argue the point because I don't follow recruiting as much as others do, but here's to hoping we make some headway on MSU/whoever the current leader might be!

Good thing that most/all of these hold offers...if Lander does reclass and we have success on the court, can only help us land the 4th in a row (by my quick research, is a feet that has never been done before by any school).

Who else is/would in the running for Mr. Indiana Basketball for 2021?

Shoot, sorry man! Tagged the wrong person. It was @MoyeNeeded who hit the nail on the head. Still a damn good prediction, buddy!

@LIHoosier hits the score of the game exactly on the predicition thread! Way to go, and KEEP PICKING IU!!!

gotta get back on the winning side and steal one on the road: Indiana 72 Nebraska 70
