Bracketology and Team Resumes

[HoosierAloha]

I get that people are concerned with the O Q1 or Q2 wins yet but IU will have at least 14 opportunities for those kind of wins moving forward.  That’s plenty for an at large bid even if Notre dame and St. John’s doesn’t make it to Q2 territory.   IUs tournament chances will come down to B1G play like it has the last couple years.   Those years IU had the Q1 wins and still found a way to find themselves out because of lack of Q2 conference win's
Can they finally put it together in conference so I can put their name on my IU bracket?  I hope so it would be nice to put their name on the board for the first time since I got it 

It was more to the point of our noncon SOS being Charmin soft, again.

Again like Crean?   Last year they had a top 75 Non conference SOS and the 4th hardest SOS overall 

[Stuhoo]

With 14 in conference Q1/Q2 games, if we go 9-9 the rest of the way we are guaranteed …(furrows brow, gets calculator) FIVE minimum more Q1/2 wins

Yes, I have no idea what our noncon SOS is on with the NET. It’s horrible on KP. When a canceled game against UNCA would have improved your noncon SOS you know you’re in Charmin territory.

Yeah it’s awful this year the worst I’ve seen in many years.   Archie’s Non conference SOS was near the 60-100 range.  I’ve seen a couple things reported that they did this on purpose this year and moving forward they will schedule different.   It’s a gamble but many coaches takes this approach and have been successful in making the tourney with a decent seed.  NET Non conference SOS  is 346 as of today.   Awful.     Some other non con sos  for reference

Purdue-246

USC-323

LSU-281

Iowa-254

Oklahoma-266

Minny- 287

not justifying what they did this year with this team but I understand why they went this route    As long as they beef up the schedule moving forward im fine with this being a 1 off scheduling decision

Goodness!! It’s worse on NET than KP. Hopefully, that’s one of many things that get corrected moving forward.

Road loss to Penn St cost IU 7 spots in the NET.   Down to 49 as of today 

[Uspshoosier]

IU has its first Q2 win of the year.  Notre Dame moved up to 94 after their win over North Carolina.  IU has a chance to gain momentum at home starting tonight with a Q1 opportunity followed by a Q2 opportunity on Sunday.  Need to win home games 

[IUc2016]

Penn State with a big win on the road last night jumps them up to 86. Again, its not always who you play but when you play them. IU got them at the wrong time unfortunately 

IU back up to 45 after Notre Dame, Penn State, and St. John's all have good nights.

St. John's moving closer to a Q2 win? I know it was at Assembly Hall, but they're up to #109 in NET and with Champagnie back they should continue to do pretty well.

When you include Wisky's road win over Purdue, the last two nights have been very, very good for IU's resume.

Now, let's see if we can do some self-advancement against OSU.

They will have a chance to move up big time in the Big East.  Every team is in the NET top 109 I believe.   They need to get to 75 for that to be a Q2 win.

I know I am not USPS but I just looked at their schedule and they have some tough ones coming up that could get them there, but will also be tough for them to win. Next 3/4 are on the road against Providence, UConn, and Creighton.

IMO they are good enough to win any of those games.

Everyone except Georgetown (158) and little Butler (139, I love that they stink)

Minus Butler which is 139 and Georgetown

yeah if Champagnie goes off like he did against IU or Depaul, they can beat just about anyone.

St. John’s won’t drop much for losing to those teams but if they lose to butler or Georgetown they could drop

Yesterday IU had 0 wins against Q1 or Q2 teams.  Today IU has one of each.   Just got to keep taken care of business.  They are going to have do something that they haven’t really done the past couple years.  Stack good resume wins.  In the past they would win a huge game and turn around and lose the next one.   Minny game on Sunday will be a good test to see if this can be different.
