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

Not quite yet.  I used the big ten tournament calculator and had a scenario where we missed it.  Strange things would have to happen, though.

I saw Hackman’s tweet and then went to Bball.net simulator and saw there some holes. Although he ran his simulator 100,000 times and got nothing.

Here you go:  scenario where IU isn't in the top 15 and misses the BTT.

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 

Thank you!

Hoosiers with a solid Q2 road win.   4-5 on the road this year and 5 wins away from home.   0 losses in the Q2-4 area.   Welcome to the right side of the bubble that doesn’t include Dayton (for now).   Win at Oregon and they are probably dancing regardless of what happens against Ohio st and the B1G tourney.  Just would worry about bid stealers in that case.   Win the next 2 games and they are locked in

Another advantage of playing in the B1G and SEC? South Carolina and Washington are the worse teams in each conference however their numbers are still good enough to fall in the Q2 area when teams play them on the road.   If you slip up against a bottom feeder in these 2 leagues it’s still a Q2.   Slip up in the ACC or bottom of the Big East and you’re looking at a Q4 loss.   B1G and SEC gives their bubble teams an advantage over the rest of the leagues and since those 2 leagues did the best during the non conference they will get the extra bids along the cut line

94.8% to make the tournament now according to Team Rankings

Happily surprised we’re here. They could have thrown in the towel and didn’t. It would be nice to see them win a few more and leave no doubt they belong

2 weeks ago, it was probably around 40%, such a nice turnaround from the team. Currently projected as an 9 seed, with the most likely seed at 10

9 seed is being kind.    I have them right on the last 4 byes range so a 10 seed or even 11 as of today.    Win @Oregon and they will move up for me
