Pope for BYU said he has been tried to schedule an extra game and has talked with about 15 teams.  Probably won’t happen but smart of him to try 

For AFTER their conference tournament?  While it would be smart, IMO it shouldn't be something that the conference allows.

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but Notre Dame moved up 9 spots in the NET after winning by 34 yesterday and is now a Quad 1 win. 

[Crazy about IU 303]

I hate to say it but I feel like our big dance starts tonight. We must also win the Rutgers game also. The Barn has always been hard to win at then you add in senior night.

The same day we gain a quad 1 win we likely lose a quad 2 win as St. John’s just refuses to turn the corner this season. Yet we can gain a quad 2 win right back as we speak. So much resume movement in one day.

Probably not after,  he was probably trying earlier in the week.    I think Xavier tried to do it after a conference tourney a couple years ago and ncaa wouldn’t allow it after the conference tourneys

Road win mean IU has 4 wins away from home which is a big deal however IU missed the chance to drive up their efficiency with a 20+ beat down on the road.   Probably cost them some spots in the NET that they would of jumped.   I guess they will move up a little but not much

I know Pom had us as a two point favorite, so overall it was pretty much a push in terms of efficiency.  What is funny is that in between the Maryland game, we were at 46 -- then 47 -- then 49 -- then jumped up to 42 entering today.  He just put in today's game and we are currently still at 42.  There is a pretty big gap between 39 and 40 so I think at best if we had a 20+ point win today we would have been at 40.

FWIW, Pom currently has us with a 70% chance to beat Rutgers.

Things to look for tomorrow in the NET 

how far  does St Johns drop after a road loss at DePaul

how far Maryland moves up with a win against Ohio St 

Does Nebraska destroying Penn st on the road move Nebraska up enough to make IU’s home game against them a Q3 game 

[Uspshoosier 54,732]

IU has lost 4 straight to Rutgers.   Can IU break another streak.   Massive game for both teams.

When was the last time we won 3 straight conference games?

Just for interest:

St. John's dropped from 66 to 70 on Pom after their loss to DePaul.

Maryland moved up from 90 to 82 after their win against Ohio State.

Nebraska jumped huge.....from 184 to 155 on Pom.

Yeah….because Memphis had a quad 3 home win and passed IU.  Just silly.

St. John’s only dropped 2 spots and is at 75.   Remains a quad 2 for now.

Maryland only up to 90.  No changes.

Nebraska big move from 188 to 164.  Still a quad 4 but now within reach of getting to quad 3.

Food for thought:  if Rutgers is considered a tournament worthy team, why are they a quad 3 game on Wednesday and why does Northwestern have a better net?

Because the NET isn’t the end all be all   for making the tourney.  It’s a sorting tool.     Sparty, Cuse, and St. John’s have made it and had a net in the 70s.   Nc state, Clemson and a bunch of others had net in the 30s and got left out.     Why people continue to view the overall net number as the end all be all for making the tourney is beyond me.  Committee say it every year that other factors go into making the tourney besides net but people choose to view as such even when the people actually picking the teams say otherwise

Memphis smashed their non tourney opponent and moved up a couple more spots.   If IU would of smashed Minny on the road they would of moved up some
