For sure. Oregon has a good squad. Impressed with #5, strong and athletic, bad match up for us. Gotta win 3 in a row I think 

Depends on bid stealers, but I think if we beat OSU we are in regardless of the Big Ten Tourney.

Conference tourneys help very little btw, field is usually pretty much already made by the time of the big ten tourney champ

[Uspshoosier]

A&M up 12 at home vs Auburn with 1:44 to go.  Will be first win vs #1 

[Hoosierfan1901]

Kill shot at the end, unfortunately, sums it up. Such a winnable game

I would love a nice leak tonight since we lost 

Sounds like something you better have checked out by a doctor, partner.

Pearl... off the list.  Buzz, back on the list.

You don’t think so? Makes OSU an absolutely must win, and likely need to win 2 in BTT

I think they still need another quad 1 win and maintain not having any Q2 or below losses which likely would require beating OSU, taking care of business in the first round of the BTT, and then winning another. The noncon schedule and performance was just so poor. Also worry about bid stealers if the resume isn’t great going into the conference tournament

Somebody said iu is winning this game with 12 minutes left.

Super duper lame. Quite possibly the lamest.

This is probably the 6th or 7th game IU has had trouble closing out this season. A lot of scenarios to where we wouldn’t have to worry about being on the bubble.

Find us a coach that can win these type of games 

find us a coach that can develop guards

find us a coach that can develop shooters

find us a coach that teaches hustle

find us a coach that preaches toughness

find us a coach that preaches winning 

Find us a coach that knows X’s and O’s 
feel free to add on to this list

We beat Ohio State, we are in for sure….

I think this as well. Projected 11 seed before Oregon loss. Just take care of business at home and don’t get blown out first game of BTT. 

[Uspshoosier]

Add another year to IU finishing a conference season without a winning conference record.  Best IU can do is finish .500.

Yep, by all logic they SHOULD matter a lot — neutral games against teams from your own conference! And a better process would weigh them appropriately. But the committee based process…doesn’t.

I'm just happy we're kissing this era of Indiana basketball goodbye in a couple weeks. Good ******* riddance.

I think we need to beat OSU by a good margin and yes, win 1-2 in the B1G tourney.

If IU beats Ohio Stste, their first round game would be Thursday against a quad 1 team.

I hate that this led me to looking up our conference record history. Since Crean's first year in 2009, 4 seasons above .500 in conference. 3 by Crean and 1 by Woodson. Ugh.

Yup I believe against either Oregon or Illinois. I guess there’s a chance it’s against UCLA?

Amen. Win or lose Saturday it can be a positive. Win we go dancing most likely… lose we start locking in on the coaching front and that much closer to having hopefully an actual college basketball coach
