Then might as well just start a thread now predicting which OSU sub30% 3pt shooter is gonna drop 7 bombs that night. ALASKA HOOSIER, Uspshoosier and LIHoosier 1 2 Quote

Hopefully he goes better for IU if it happens again I was at that game. Big Ten Tournament in Chicago, I believe. IU fell behind big and then Devonte Green couldn't miss -- 8 of 10 from three. Hoosiers had a chance to tie and Green passed the ball away trying to get it Evan Fitzner. Uspshoosier 1 Quote

Jeff Flabjohns Posted February 27 Posted February 27 bubble teams have picked up some strong wins over the last 72 hours. I’m hopeful that 10-10 in conference gets us into Dayton…but it’s gonna be close. Quote

Hovadipo Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Are we close to having any current Q1 losses fall to Q2? I feel like the undefeated Q2-Q4 record coupled with that MSU win would be awful pretty on selection Sunday. Quote

Penn St road win is close to being a 2 however if it does it’s still considered a really good road win. Meaning even if it falls to 2 and they are 76 isn’t it going to be viewed differently by committee if they were a 75 and Q1. Hope that makes sense. Still have some Q2 games left to take care of to stay perfect in Q2-Q4. Hovadipo 1 Quote

Iowa is at 66 and if they fall to 76 that will be a Q2 loss. UCLA is 25 and if they fall to 31 that will be a Q2 loss cybergates and Hovadipo 2 Quote
Jeff Flabjohns Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Getting ahead of myself…but IF we can win just two of these final three games, which 2 would you pick to help our resume most? I’d imagine that sweeping fellow bubble team OSU would be one of the two. @Uspshoosier Quote

I can see this being a differentiator if we are super close with another team, that one of our quad 1 wins would be well into quad 2 territory if it counted as a neutral site game.

It’s a road win on the team sheet. Most of these things are determined before the season. Penn st willingly gave up a home game on campus to play it there for recruiting. Season ticket holders for Penn st had that game as one of their home games. Now ive seen them change a game during the season however it was changed way before the end of the season.

Road win against a team with the second most Q1 wins in the country and solidly in and a sweep of a fellow bubble team. Losing to Washington would only be a Q2 loss which would be IUs first. If they beat Ohio st and Oregon I would really like their chances Jeff Flabjohns 1 Quote
Jeff Flabjohns Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Makes sense. Winning at Oregon would do way more good than the bad that losing @ UW would do. Didn’t realize the game in Seattle is Quad 2 by a pretty safe margin Uspshoosier 1 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted February 27 Author Posted February 27 Why every game matters and the margin between being on the bubble and being locked in is small. IU has lost 4 home games in the B1G. Flip 2 of those 1 possession home game losses and IU is a lock for the tourney already with 3 games to play Demo 1 Quote
Jeff Flabjohns Posted February 27 Posted February 27 Yup. Completely botching that last 30 seconds against Maryland + Mgbako missing a layup and seconds later an open 3 vs UCLA. Changes the entire complexion of the season. Quote
