For the B10 tournament is it based on conference record or overall record ?

Conference record

Lunardis latest (includes last night) has us as the last team in. Interesting we’re above UGA even after they beat Florida. 
Nebraska and OSU still have to play eachother, as do Oklahoma and Texas. 
 

Things could get dicey for Baylor if they lose on the road @TCU and then home to Houston to finish the regular season

Just in case you are bored and want to see the history of the ncaa tourney.   Page 117 shows some interesting data points on at-large teams

I would personally use other bracketologist besides Joe.    He is the face of bracketology however not even close to being one of the most accurate these days.

Well, that gives me great comfort. /s

What’s the best possible seed IU can get if they win the next three, finish 8th in the B1G, win that game and then beat MSU again before losing in the semi final?

My thought would be one of the 8th seeds

All depend on what others would do but from past experience Texas last year was a 7 seed and they  finished 9-9 in conference and was 5-10 in Q1 games

A 7 seed would be great if they do what they’re capable of doing and some other results go their way. As long as they aren’t in Daytona, I’ll be happy considering where they were not long ago

Ah, Daytona…the Eastern Florida of Western Ohio.

Hahahahaha jeez Louise what was I thinking

@Uspshoosier

If IU were to win two of their last three games, which would be the best combination of wins and losses?
 

My thought would be to beat Washington and Ohio State and lose to Oregon as it would keep the no losses out of Q1 narrative.  Then again, a win over Oregon adds a Q1.

Ohio St and Oregon would be the 2 you want to win.   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 

@RaceToTheTop

I asked him this earlier today, on the previous page. His response^

Indiana currently in the tournament in 73 of the 108 submitted brackets in the bracket matrix.  While their average seed of last of the at large teams in, they make the tournament in more brackets than Ohio State and Texas.

Last four in by number of brackets:

Oklahoma, Indiana, Ohio State, Texas

First four out:

Wake Forest, Georgia, North Carolina Boise State

How can I find out what the average NET of last year’s tournament?

You want the average NET of teams that made the tourney including at-large and automatic?   Or do you want the average NET of the at-large teams that made the tourney?    
 

you would have to go to a site like Warren Nolan and change it to last years results and look at the teams NET of the teams that made it

Last year's Massey Composite for 3/17/24: https://masseyratings.com/ranks?s=cb&d=20240317

You can sort by NET. I'd probably go by median instead of average though Indiana St missed at #28 and St John's missed at #32 so its not an exact if NET is X, then you make it.

I believe we have clinched a spot in the BTT, just battling for the seed at this point.
