Haven't done a ton of research on this stuff but I think it would also be very helpful to us if North Texas and Murray State won their conference tournaments. Those are both potential bid stealer leagues because those two teams have a case to make it at large.

North Texas I don't really think has a shot to make it as an at large.  Murray State could.

Penn State currently at a net of 85.  They are winning and looking pretty good against Minnesota right now.  If they can find a way to get to 75, we would have a quad 2 win and quad 1 loss against them instead of a quad 3 win and quad 2 loss.

Their record won't say it but I really don't think Penn State is that bad

This Saturday before the Kentucky game on CBS the committee will give their top 16 seeds.   This will give bracketologist a little sneak preview on how the committee is going to seed teams this year.   Providence and Wisconsin will be interesting to see where they land.    Results based both their resumes are solid but their predictive metrics are lower.   I’m very interested to see where these 2 are seeded 

Drinking game for you guys on Saturday 

Drink anytime total body of work, sorting tool, who you played, where you played, who you beat, predictive and results based  is mentioned

Need to be careful though, they might push us down to the 10 seed in the Big 1.o tourney.

Another annual IU tradition...

Double shot anytime it's mentioned that this is Coach K's last tournament.

Lots of close games.  9 games decided by five or less points;  4-5 in those games.  They've been decent at home in conference -- 5-3.   They've avoided any bad home losses -- just to Ohio State, Purdue, and Michigan (by a point).

They can be dangerous if they're hitting 3's. Good teams can blow them out if they're not. They could be tough in the next few years if Shrewsbury starts getting talent. I think his son is a top 100 recruit in '23.

Would be nice if a post was occasionally just taken for what it is and not just a reason to bash.

Are we hoping for the 10 seed in the Big 1.o tourney?

Ron Harper has a hand injury.  Status uncertain for the Purdue game.

Of course he does. Another key player injured just in time to play Purdue.

Love Bill Walton, but he seriously just said that Washington is a tournament team and that there are 8 Pac 12 teams with a change to be in the tournament.

Up 6 at the half.  I'd like to say that I think Arizona State is going to win, but they are the best team in the nation that doesn't win games.

Says that every year.  Usually it’s more teams.    It’s all PAC-12 with him.   Calls all the other conferences truck stop conferences.

Yup. Even though the PAC has won like how many Natty's in the past 30 years... what, like one?

Good old Bill. He does have his own line of weed though. So his comments aren't really shocking anyone lol.

Puff puff pass Bill.

St. John's vs Butler tonight at 5 eastern. St. John's is at 78 in the net so a win today could move them into Quad 2 range for us. Not much else going on today but later I'm gonna look at the bubble games for the weekend and see who I need to painfully root against while we aren't playing lol
