8bucks Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 If Sampson goes to Arkansas I could see them buying out of that game. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners ccgeneral, DChoosier and LamarCheeks 3 Quote
LIHoosier Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 We played Gavitt the last 2 years; @ Seton Hall (2017), Marquette (2018) so its likely we won't be playing that. When's the last time IU was in a Thanksgiving tournament in some random tropical land or on a cruise ship? Hutch89 and ccgeneral 2 Quote

HoosierDYT Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Would prefer mediocre out of conference games. Seems like the committee values overall wins and that seems our best path to the dance Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners LockdownD and MemphisHoosier 2 Quote

Seems like the committee values overall wins and that seems our best path to the dance Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersSpeaking of...The "committee" ([emoji849]) should come out with their criteria before the season starts. And maybe they do. But I find it ridiculous that only after the tournament selection is complete is when anyone finally hears, "Oh, well this year they/we really focused on number of wins vs quality/SOS, etc." Teams have a right to schedule to their benefit. I guess they did somewhat provide an inkling of what they are looking for this year with the Quad ranks and such, but to then hear the bubble was essentially determined quantity of wins makes that whole system seem like a complete waste of time.

When's the last time IU was in a Thanksgiving tournament in some random tropical land or on a cruise ship? I've been wondering this too. There are like 74 holiday tournaments. How are never involved in any of them? Granted, many are not that desirable but between the Preseason NIT, the Maui, the one in the bahamas, puerto rico, Vegas, more that I can't think of right now....do we specifically avoid these? It would be a great opportunity for quality wins. Quote

HoosierAloha Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Agreed trade the last 5 for teams in the 180-200 range. I think it’s a bit difficult to tell before the season starts if a team will be in that range but it could be a lot better than this season. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
