Oh yay Kenpom. So 2011 we beat ND while we were ranked #18. ND ended up a 7 seed that year. So not a bad win. 2012 we lost to Butler while we were #1. That Butler team ended up being a 6 seed but a game that never should have been close against a mediocre team. A game like that does nothing but hurt Indiana. 2013 lost to ND. We sucked and they sucked as they finished the season 15-17(6-12) but apparently they were the #36 team in the nation right? 2014 we beat a Butler team that that ended up a 6 seed. So not a bad win but not a win that’s going to rock the world. 2015 we beat ND who ended up being a 6 seed so another Butler situation. Just an good win that doesn’t pop. 2016 lost to the best team we’ve played in the event which was a Butler team that went 25-9 on the year and was a 4 seed. 2017 we beat ND in that awesome finish while they were ranked 18th but they ended going to the NIT so the win didn’t mean much but they were the 27th best team in the nation right? 2018 we beat Butler with another awesome finish but that team ended up being bad and finishing 16-17(7-11) but they were the 20th best team in the nation right?

Now I know they aren’t getting rid of the ACC Challenge or the Gavitt Games. I don’t think Glass is smart enough to pull out of the Crossroads Classic. Just my opinion that more flexibility would be best for Indiana. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Playing Notre Dame and Butler does nothing for Indiana. It only helps Notre Dame and Butler. Indiana takes a loss in the whole thing. The years we’ve won, it’s ended up being against meh teams. The B1G/ACC Challenge might guarantee us a game but it’s a game we can easily replace and removing it gives us even more flexibility. The Gavitt Games is about the least exciting event we could do. Outside of Fox Sports no one really cares. It would be much better for the B1G to do short stints with multiple conferences but only 1 conference at a time. Which allows the Indiana, MSU, UM, OSU to go out and schedule multiple big games like teams do in football. Because in football teams don’t have that kind of thing holding them back. And teams hands are even more tied now with 20 conference games. Indiana in some years is tied up with Butler/ND, a BE team and an ACC team and then it’s cream puffs because there isn’t any wiggle room. Or we could have a schedule 2 big games and only have 1 predetermined game against a team ACC for 3 years then another team from a conference for 3 years. Obviously playing the PAC or Big 12 some teams would have to sit, but those are years where the team would have the availability for a tournament or another marquee game. We don’t have that now. We have no say in who we play for 2-3 games a year. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Maybe if the conferences were different every couple years. I don’t think we need to be in two of them. If the B1G did like a 3 year stint with the ACC and then the PAC12 and then the SEC and the Big 12 and then the Big East, I’d be okay with that. The Big East challenge is incredibly blah for the most part because the Big East is only a couple of schools. The ACC Challenge is just boring now. Especially for Indiana. 2018: Played Duke 2017: Duke 2016: UNC 2015: Duke I’m beyond happy we are playing FSU this year because it’s something different. Same with playing UConn instead of Louisville. Before 2015 it actually changed up a bit. 2014: Pitt 2013: Cuse 2012: UNC 2011: NC State 2010: Boston College 2009: Maryland 2008: Wake 2007: Georgia Tech Duke yet again... 2006: Duke 2005: Duke 2004: UNC 2003: Wake 2002: Maryland 2001: UNC 2000: DNP 1999: DNP We aren’t rivals with Duke. It’s boring to play them. Especially since they’ve just whooped us anytime they’ve played us. It would be neat to play Oregon, Arizona, UCLA, Texas, Texas Tech, Kansas, Kansas State, LSU, Florida etc. That change up is nice. But the last few years the schedule had been hella boring. It was basically Duke, Louisville, Butler/Notre Dame. Last year was nice to see Arkansas. This year is really nice because it is Arky, FSU and UConn.

Michigan State and sleeziest guy in sports come out on top thanks to the refs swallowing their whistles on an obvious foul. Hopefully the Big Ten doesn’t continue the Gavitt Games because it’s absolutely awful and doesn’t give teams much wiggle room in scheduling with already having the ACC Challenge(which I’m for ending it as well).

Mac McClung now 2-17 from the field and 8 points in the last 2 games. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

It shouldn’t be. It should be giving teams more space to play in. That’s just offense in college basketball not being a priority. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I think it could be another one of those seasons where MSU got overrated. Not having Langford to help with the scoring is going to hurt. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

UConn has fallen into such a hole... and so quickly too. Win titles in 2011 and 2014 and since then... Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

Wasn’t it last season that Nova got their butts whooped and everyone pretty much seen that their “dynasty” was over. Edit: They got beat by Michigan last year in the Gavitt games or whatever it is by 27. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Had a dream last night... I was checking College Football scores. Barely saw the IU-PSU game. It was 28-21... WITH IU WINNING! Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners

You have to be beyond pizzed off if you’re a Kentucky fan. You could tell they were slacking and taking the night off. M Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Defense was part of the slow start yesterday. Defense and enthusiasm. Offense isn’t always part of a slow start. But it has seemed like these teams under Archie have had an issue with getting into the game early on. And this season it’s resulted in a rough first 5-10 minutes of each game. They hit some tough shots last night but they also got plenty of good looks as well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Have you watched the 5 minutes of all 3 games? The first 10 minutes? That’s the start of the game. That’s what is being talked about. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

But there isn’t an excuse for how slow his teams have started. Marquette has a great start. Outside of that though... not much. He’s doing something at halftime that he isn’t before the game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Or so would think. This is for games 11-5 through 11-10. They lost last night. I put these rankings out as if I released them on time on Monday. So next week, Saint Mary’s will likely be replaced. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
