Only 1 bid league teams in the NET top 50 are ETSU and Northern Iowa. If these teams want any chance at an at-large they can not afford to lose before each teams conference tournament championship game

Would the committee choose a P5 school ranked lower though? Or would whoever beats them in their title game steal a bid?

That’s the question. By not winning their conference tournament they will be putting it up to the committee and they could go either way. Last year UNCG lost in their conference final and was the first team out of the field. Committee picked St Johns (Net 74) over UNCG (60).

I wonder why they picked St. John’s though. I’m sure there were more to pick from.

Trying to remember back but I had them in the field last year as well. 4 road wins, 10 wins against the top 2 Quads. Their resume looked better once you opened the team sheet when you looked at other P5 schools with a better Net that ended up missing the field. I wouldn’t of been mad if the committee would of put UNCG in before st Johns

What do we think, a realistic best case scenario for this team seems like to win out at home and lose all road games which would put us at 19-12 going into BTT..? Not a great record..

With our wins and no bad losses?

That’s about an 8 or 9 seed

Depends on what other teams around them do as well but with that record and the fact they would be adding 3 more top 50 wins to the 4 they already have to go along with their 2 other neutral court top 75 wins and 0 losses to any team outside the top 50 IU wouldn’t be near the cut line. 7-10 range would be my guess.

Purdue is sitting at 14-12 right now and if they win out at home and lose out on the road, they end at 17-14.  IMO, IU is more deserving at 19-12 than Purdue at 17-14, even if Purdue sweeps.  Same with Minnesota, who will finish 16-14 if they win out at home and lose on the road.  I don’t get rewarding teams for playing tough opponents that they lose to...and Purdue has a loss to Nebraska as well.  I like Pom, but it doesn’t reward wins or punish losses.  A team that wins by one gets the same basic result as if they had lost by one.  I understand their ‘luck’ rating in terms of what a team would expected to have done, but at this point Purdue is who they are.....a team that won’t show up as often as they do show up.

Plus would very well give us a game against Nebraska or Northwestern in BTT. 

Yeah, I would find it hard to believe that a team winning 20 games playing what would be ranked as a top 20 schedule in the toughest conference wouldn’t be in the tournament.

Call me crazy but I don’t think IUs tournament resume is that far off from Michigan State’s

Was just thinking the same thing @BlueDevil After today MSU has lost 4 of its last 5 games. Same as IU. Their record is 17-9, IU is 16-8. Their only good out of conference win is against Seton Hall who I wouldn’t say is better than the FSU team we beat (especially as Seton Hall is losing 34-9 right now to Providence).

Sparty gets the benefit of the doubt based on reputation but their record isn’t that much more impressive than IU’s and they are considered “a lock” and “a potential Final Four contender.” I don’t see it, and I think they lose at least 2 if not 3 of their games left against Iowa, @Maryland, and @PSU
