The NCAA LOVES matchups like that. Of course, I'm getting way, way ahead of myself. We have to get in first. And then win a game. I was a big Mike and Mike listener years ago and I remember (I think 2007)they were upset that IU was a 7 seed and Texas Tech was a 10 seed and they were in different regions. Never understood why they didn't choose that matchup. But please, let's have another IU-UK matchup. Quote
ElectricBoogaloo Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I think the IU-OSU game is a winner-take-all 11 seed game. Gotta win that one if we want in. Bobman1, hoosierdogg, JVIU98 and 2 others 5 Quote
CrossboneIU22 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 First off, I just hope we get in and don't have to play in Dayton, although it would be ironic, don't ya think. Having said that though and based on the link provided to the bracketoligist that has us as an 11 seed, personally, I would rather be the 11 seed than 7-10. 7-10 if you win, has to then play the 1 or 2 seed. Would much rather have to play 3 seed. Now that is assuming you beat the 6 seed. However, in this case, this year, I feel like we will be under seeded virtually anywhere we are seeded if we continue to play the way we are playing right now so I'd rather play the 6 then 3 vs the 7-10 then 1 or 2.

JVIU98 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 I love the mindset that coach Miller has with this stuff. He doesn't like to project anything, he just says "we just have to win, that's all we are worried about". I think they are in if they win Thursday, regardless of Michigan State game. I hope Coach Miller and this group starts a new tradition, get to Sunday on the B1G tournament! To win in the NCAA tournament, it is important to be a good tournament team. Making adjustments by coaches, players buying in to scouting reports and applying them in the game are all characteristics of good tournament teams. Archie has shown the ability to win tournament style games, now its time for the team to show what they are made of. Go Hoosiers!! HoosierFan1994, Iugradman and HoosierAloha 3 Quote
TXHoosierDaddy Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Can anyone please explain to me how Lunardi still has Texas in and us out? Texas - 16-15 (NET: 52, SOS: 20, 6-11 v Q1, 8-14 v Q1/2, 0 bad L's and 1-4 in last 5) IU - 17-14 (NET: 50, SOS: 38, 6-9 v Q1, 8-14 v Q1/2, 0 bad L's, 5 and 4-1 in last 5) Tougher SOS for UT but one team is on the rise and one is falling fast. Plus they have an extra loss. I don't know how you say they are a better team in the field of 64 BGVille Hoosierfan 1 Quote

Each bracketologist has their own set of guidelines they go by but like you said this is a case that will work itself out. If Texas loses they won’t be in his bracket. For me personally the minute the became 16-15 they automatically were removed from my bracket because committee has never picked a team that is only 1 game over 500. Just like IU didn’t enter my bracket until they became 16-14. 16-14 is the worst record an at-large has ever had. Normally what happens is these early conference tournament become elimination games.

JHoosier914 Posted March 11, 2019 Posted March 11, 2019 Texas has a similar resume to us. 5-9 Quad 1 (were 6-9) and 4-5 Quad 2 (I think we’re 2-5)Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

If you're in a dog crap conference, win that auto bid or stay home. On Belmont i disagree. Having watched them play I know they could do better if given the opportunity against Q1 teams. Are they better than IU, nope not recently. Are they better than Texas, TCU, St Johns, Florida or Clemson. I think so. They had to play a lottery pick to make the tourney and lost. That is the only mid major I would let in that didn't get the auto berth outside of Wofford/Buffalo. They all pass the eye test and I want the best 64 teams in. Quote
