Plus we lost in the title game in 86 I believe

[quote name="bhoosier06" post="47927" timestamp="1394926891"]No question and I am not saying crean is the right guy, but regardless of that he is here for the next few years, at least. So it might be time to calm down a little bit. We haven't won a title in 27 years, it's going to take time to be a consistent winner. It took duke 16 years before they went on their consecutive NCAA appearance streak(16 years after coach k was hired)! 16!!!! But we have some great pieces here and better pieces coming in. I trust Fred glass to make the right decisions regarding iu athletics.

@ZachOsterman: A couple of NIT-related games of interest: Western Michigan-Toledo and North Carolina Central-Morgan State. WMU, NCC both No. 1 seeds.

I just found a projection updated at 2:00 today that says we're a 5 seed playing UW Green Bay. No idea if it's legit, but the most updated I could find.

That literally couldn't be any more wrong.  Duke with Coach K made the tournament 11 years in a row starting in his 4th year; in that time they were in 8 Sweet 16s, 7 Elite 8s, 7 Final Fours, 5 title appearances with 2 consecutive championships.  The one time he missed the tournament since his 4th year is the year he only coached 12 games (1994-1995).

I looked through the numbers myself this afternoon, bracketology is a hobby of mine, and we are out of the nit by my calculations. The nit has always been tougher to project though.

 

I would be surprised if we didn't make the NIT due to how well we draw.  Either way I wouldn't care.  But, money talks, and IU draws.

Except you said 16 years after Coach K was hired, which is wrong as it could possibly be.

Gotcha. When that streak started(1996), K already has 2 Nat'l titles, 3 Title game finalists, and a couple other final four appearances.

My point was it is going to take time, especially in the one and done age. Imagine If we still had Cody and victor.

He's had 6 years, and underachieved 3 of the last 4.  He doesn't need a real long time to have the team in the tournament every year.

[mdn82 25,546]

The NYC Brackets site you listed had a decent article.  They even conceded Indiana St. was worse than IU, but due to IU's bad losses and wins they would take them.  A couple of things on that.  Indiana St. beat nobody.  We may have lost to worse teams, but we beat far better teams.  Lets also not kid ourselves.  The NIT is out to make money.  If they have a reason to put a team like an IU in their tournament, they will.  The tv viewership and interest in their tourney goes up.  So, that dude even conceded we were better rankings wise, but we lost more games…  Put the Sycamores in the B1G and see how they do.

We will make a decent run in the NIT ladies and gentlemen.

I don't see it. I see a team that's checked out for the season.

I think that is our one shot, our name. Indiana does make the needle move. Like I said the nit is harder to project.
