Uspshoosier Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 Ius final numbers https://www.warrennolan.com/basketball/2025/team-net-sheet?team=Indiana 10 of the 13 losses are to tourney teams with the other 3 losses on the road to top 63 teams O losses in Q2-Q4 Q1a win @Sparty. Projected 2 seed Q1 wins home against Purdue IU only has 2 wins against the projected field which is a negative however I feel this resume should be good enough for last 4 in hoosierfan6157, Jeff Flabjohns, Crimson and Cream and 1 other 2 2 Quote
Jeff Flabjohns Posted March 16 Posted March 16 Sad. So damn close to avoiding Dayton and enjoying a “real” tourney birth. Quote

IvanRenkosillegitimatechild Posted March 16 Posted March 16 What I find interesting is Delphi changed their tune from yesterday to today moving them from out to in and also FanDuel has Indiana to make the tournament at -320 Quote

Ryno6284 Posted March 16 Posted March 16 3 hours ago, Uspshoosier said: Happy Selection Sunday to all the hoops junkies out there. Its like Christmas day at the USPS household. Its also a sad day as well because it means its the beginning of the end for the college basketball season. Thanks to everyone that has participated in the college basketball thread all year. We have had some great nights following this great sport in there. My time to do deep dives into bracketology have taken a back seat to my own kids sporting events and school activities however i still love to do it with the limited time i now spend on it. You have to spend an incredible amount of time on this hobby to really get good at making a full bracket. Its just not about selection of the teams its about properly seeding and projecting the regions teams will end up in using the committee bracketing principles and geography principles. I am only going to project the teams and not worry about the others 1 seed- Auburn, Duke, Houston, Florida Auburn has had the overall seed wrapped up for awhile now 16 Q1 wins is insane. Duke played in a down ACC and didnt get the opportunities. Florida should be higher but think the will end up the 4th 1 seed 2. Tennessee, Bama, Sparty, St Johns SEC having 4 teams in the top is crazy you could flip flop Bama and Tennessee if you want 3. Texas Tech, A&M, Kentucky, Iowa St First year head coach has Kentucky in position for a 3 seed in year 1 despite injuries props to him 4 Wisky, Zona, Maryland, Michigan B1G teams are going to give bracketologist fits trying to deal with the bracketing principles within the conference teams being this close on the seed list 5 Purdue, Oregon, Ole Miss, Clemson 6 Missouri, BYU, Louisville, UCLA what Kelsey done in year 1 is impressive Turnaround can happen with the right hire 7 Illinois, St Marys, Marquette, Zags 8 Kansas, Miss st, Memphis, Creighton 9 Uconn, New Mexico, Utah St, Georgia 10 Drake, Arkansas, Oklahoma, West Virginia 11 Baylor, (San Diego St, IU)(Vandy, Xavier) UC SAN DIEGO Vandy non con sos is 330 i hope they put them in the First 4 12. , VCU, COLORADO ST, McNEESE ST, Liberty 13 ,High Point, Akron, Yale, Troy 14 Lipscomb, Grand Canyon, UNCW, Wofford 15 Montana, Omaha, Robert Morris, Bryant 16 Norfolk St, SIU Edwardsville, (American ,Mt St Marys ,Alabama St , St Francis) if Memphis loses take Xavier out First 3 out Texas Boise st UNC i might change some things if i have time but this is how i see it going today but wont be surprised at any of the 3 first out being selected Enjoy the games and selection sunday I don't know why every person on this site hasn't liked or gave thanks to this post? I LOVE college basketball, or so I thought, until I found USPS and Johnson here! Maybe they have differing reasons that make them love the sport, but I digress. It takes a lot of time to do what they do on this thread! Thank both of you and all the other degenerates that I see in here during the season! Sadly, I'm looking forward to the gif USPS will post tomorrow! Very bittersweet, but also part of life! Looking forward to the future of IU basketball! Lastly, enjoy Dayton this week USPS! johnsoniu, Uspshoosier, tkbbn and 3 others 6 Quote

Uspshoosier Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 1 minute ago, Crimson and Cream said: The Q1 records tip it in favor of Texas for me Yeah but they are only 12-15 vs the top 3 Quads. 7 wins vs Q4. That’s a lot of losses. No team has been left out with 7 or more Q1 wins and no team has made it with more than being 1 game under .500 vs the top 3 Quads. Their non conference sos is 287 IUs finished 168 Crimson and Cream 1 Quote
