Only 5 BIG games left. Here's to hoping IU wins out and gets a double bye! at least it is still possible at this point. http://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=mbb THANK you... this is such a cool tool. Made a few tweaks to the default predictions and came up with IU as the 9 seed playing #8 Rutgers and then #1 Maryland..... That would put us at 11-11 in conference and in my opinion a LOCK for the NCAA Tourney. IUc2016 1 Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Anybody see the Eastern Illinois game? They were 50-23 at home to Murray State with 11:30 left in the game. Came back to win it 63-60. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Stuhoo, dar007 and Class of '66 Old Fart 3 Quote

Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 So I’m about to write something for my site. Top 25 basketball programs over the last 15-20 years or since 1939(haven’t decided yet). I made certain things worth certain points to come up with a total score. Would like some input from whoever would like to give it on the points awarded. Wins: 1 point for each win. 35+ wins: 3.5 points30-34: 3.0 points25-29: 2.5 points20-24: 2.0 pointsNIT: 0.5 pointsNCAA Tourney: 2.0 pointsSweet 16: 3.0 pointsElite 8: 5.0 pointsFinal Four: 7.0 pointsRunner Up: 9.0 pointsChamps: 11.0 pointsConference titles: 2.0 pointsConference tourney title: 1.0 pointSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
LIHoosier Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 If you're going back to the 1st ncaa tourney, most teams even the champions didnt play 35 games yet win that many. Maybe a bonus for over .900 winning % to compensate.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote

Grinding the whole season to win your conference regular season should be worth more in my opinion. Coaches still value that title. I know you don’t like conference tourneys but they still should be worth more then 1 but less wins then the regular season title. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app 8bucks 1 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app How will you normalize for teams in conferences that didn't have a tournament? e.g. B1G prior to 1998, Ivy pre-2017, etc. Maybe double-up by giving the conf regular season winner the tournament winner points, too? woodenshoemanHoosierfan 1 Quote
biteoftheapple Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 To be fair, I believe all conferences now have a post season tournament. Quote

And an Ivy League team likely won’t be in the Top 25 anyways. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 So I’ve decided to do the last 20 years. So 1999-2000 season to the 2018-2019 season. For a couple reasons. 1. It covers the last two decades and the turn of the century. 2. It’s quicker to research than 1939-2019. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I’m taking a guess now that Kansas will be #1 because of how consistent they are in winning compared to everyone else. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
