You nailed it back then and even mentioned that they would be on the bubble with 18 wins with a chance to still make it then and I believe that still holds true. Most people just don’t understand or take the time to research other teams and compare resumes and just make assumptions. When you really dive into the resumes around the same projected seedline as IU and those teams below them, IU’s resume looks extremely solid. I think if they get to 20 wins, they’ll be an 8, 19 wins, they’ll be a 9 (10 at the very worst), stay at 18 wins and they’re in Dayton. Would not be surprised in the very least if they manage to get to 21 wins (that would mean they’d have 7-9 Quad 1 wins), they’d be a 7 seed. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

IU has given me no reason to believe we can win this. With that being said, this feels like one of those games that we miraculously win. IU -72 Illinois - 67 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

IU drops down 4 spots in the NET from 52 to 56 in a game they were projected to lose on the road. Purdue rises 2 spots to 35. Duke loses on road Tuesday night by 11 to the 2nd worst team in the ACC as 11 point favorites and stays stagnant. This ranking lol. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Expected result. Played good defense but shooting was worse than our normal bad shooting. On to the next. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

IF we were to finish the regular season 3-1, I think we’d lock down a 7 seed and depending on how we do in the BTT (which every IU fan can predict how we’ll do), we could be in contention for a 6. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Notre Dame with a road win stayed stagnant at 56 and Georgetown loses by 21 at Marquette and moves UP 1 spot. I’m absolutely convinced these rankings are pretty much garbage. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yup 1 more win is all that is needed for IU to lock up a bid. When you put the resume of IU next to anyone on the seed lines 8-10, our resume is nearly better than any others and by a decent amount too. I think at 19 wins, we’re looking at a 10 at worst. Get to 20 wins and could have a shot at an 8 seed. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Tons of bubblicious basketball tonight! Going to be a great night of hoops AS ALWAYS! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Minny was favored when it opened. Line has shifted in the past hour. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

They have Texas, @Baylor, and Kansas left. Could get dicey for TTU even though they’re ranked 22 right now. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I’d love a PM as well! So this what the fuss about Fat Tuesday is all about?!?! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

NC State, Alabama, and Memphis all bubble losers tonight. Oklahoma with a much needed win against TTU. As USPS alluded to, TTU has a very interesting resume and could be competing for position in the 8/9 seed with IU. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

IU beating Florida State by 16 might be one of the most impressive wins in college basketball this year. This team is definitely a national title contender and they have some GROWN MEN! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Looks like they’d be matched up with Dayton in Cleveland and then a chance to play in Indy in the Sweet 16. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

People won’t like it but a realistic deep tourney run is all dependent on if Devonte can get hot and stay hot. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

https://bracketville.wordpress.com/bracketology/ The #1 ranked bracketologist just updated his bracket this morning. For those that follow bracketology, he is a must follow. I would also advise to not even bother with Lunardi at ESPN. There’s a reason he’s not ranked in the top 50 among bracketolgoists. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

IU - 66 Purdue - 78 Prove me WRONG 3 TIMES IN A ROW BOYS!!! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

So refreshing to have USPS’s takes on here and someone who truly understands college basketball as well as bracketology. So many people think there’s a magic number (20) with a winning conference record is what gets you into the tourney. I’ve argued with people a handful of times about this and they just don’t understand the inner workings of tourney selections and what is valued and I feel like I’m just wasting my breath on these people. So thank you USPS for providing your insight and knowledge of the game and tourney process. We can always count on you. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

6 Quad 1 wins for IU now and is good for 2nd most in college basketball. With ZERO Quad 3/4 losses, IU is in A LOT better shape than most realize. Very well could lose out and still get in. Win at least one more whether it’s in the B1G Tourney or regular season and they are LOCKED in. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Really wish we would’ve made an offer to Laravia after he reopened his recruitment. He’s gonna become a household name in college basketball in a year or 2. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

IU - 67 Penn State - 72 Prove me wrong AGAIN boys! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

2 more wins and they’re a lock, especially if one of those wins either comes on the road or against Penn State. 1 more win and we’re squarely on the bubble but at 18 regular season wins and 1 in the BTT and I still think they’re in. Bubble is very weak this year and new quadrant system really helps major conference teams from getting bids stolen by mid-majors. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Georgia doing everything they can to blow a 7 point lead with 25 seconds left. Wow. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

At 14-13 they are still in quite a bit of projected brackets and have a NET of 33 and SOS of 5. Assuming they go 3-1 to finish the season (3 home games against unranked opponents) and finish 10-10 in conference, I would bet they get in. I know the conference record isn’t on team sheets but the metrics would have Purdue in the top 30 in NET and a SOS of top 5. Is the committee really going to keep them out??? I mean IU finished 17-15 and was the first team OUT of the field last year with worse numbers in comparison to NET and SOS. The 2 Quad 3 losses are HUGE and could be the biggest factor to keep them out but can anyone explain how at 14-13 with 2 Quad 3 losses and a Quad 1 record of 3-10, they are 33 in the NET??? I’m really hoping the committee is smarter than the computers and don’t just go by the “numbers.” Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
