Stuhoo Posted February 9, 2020 Posted February 9, 2020 Seems to me that we kinda need to win two out of our next four: home Iowa, road UM, road Minny, home Penn St. That doesn’t seem especially likely, but hey, I guess it’s good to control one’s fate. thebigweave and IUc2016 2 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted February 13, 2020 Author Posted February 13, 2020 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 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

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). Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appTrying 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 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Adillac Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 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.. Quote

Adillac Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 Anything sub-20 wins I always assume will be solid bubble (oxymoron?) territory. This year does have a lot of parity though, especially within the B1G. HoosierAloha 1 Quote

Not a great record..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.

Not a great record.. 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.

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. Quote

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 LIHoosier, BlueDevil and bleedhoosier 3 Quote
