IF Charleston loses.....are they at large worthy?  I know no team with 29 wins over D1 competition has ever been excluded but I also know their schedule.....oof.

I wouldn’t count on it but you never know.   0 Q1 wins and a SOS of 335 and non con 301.   27 wins over NET 100.   I don’t see it happening

I would agree.  I hadn't had a chance to see them play until the last two games and sight unseen, I would have said that isn't a team that I would have wanted IU to open up with because I'm typically leary of smalls that win a lot of games.  But they really haven't been impressive at all in the two games I've seen.  Tie game and they may win tonight, but they aren't Florida Atlantic.  Not Oral Roberts IMO either.

This CAA game has been awesome.   Each team having big runs.   Champ week rules 

Charleston up 1 with 2:15 to go 

[Uspshoosier 45,615]

Merrimack comes back and wins it.  Won the regular season and tourney and doesn’t get to go dancing.    Dumb rule.    

[LIHoosier 26,148]

Nobody noticed the CoC point guard take 4 steps after recovering the ball?

[Uspshoosier 45,615]

Notre Dame lost by 3.  They had a shot to tie it up but missed

Gillen sounds like he's calling this game with a scotch in both hands.

If they didn't want them to be eligible for the NCAA tourney, don't put them in the conference tournament.

Charleston is tourney bound 

[cbp4iu 1,462]

Let’s win 2 games in the Big Ten tourney and stay a 4 seed. Stay away from Oral Roberts

[lillurk 3,738]

That early window tonight that featured close games for VT/ND, CoC/UNCW, and NKU/UNCW, leading into the WCC final and most all majors getting underway tomorrow…we’ve arrived, friends

[Uspshoosier 45,615]

Congrats to Oral Roberts for being the double digit seed that will get picked by brackets to win their first game.

Merrimack/Fairleigh Dickinson was in that window as well.   That was a 1 pt game

Moot point now, but judging from where most have them on their seed lines (12 or 13), they wouldn’t have made it as an at large.

Interesting factoid:  There are seven teams whose that have lost no quad 2, 3 or 4 games.  Five wouldn't surprise you:  Alabama, UCLA, Kansas, Texas, and Baylor.  The last two are Missouri and Oral Roberts.

My guess is I will take whoever they end up playing in the first round.

Oral Robert’s only played 1 Q2 game and that was Liberty at home 

[tomallenfan1 581]

Can IU get a 4 seed so we can avoid Drake and Oral Roberts? Please.

24 wins against NET 142 and above plus  4 other wins against non d1 teams 

0-4 against top 50 teams the road 

1 win against the NET top 141 (Liberty-43)

When During 1 f their games I remember thinking that on the right night they could do to somebody what Penn St did to IU. They run such great motion and everybody can shoot and they’re pretty disciplined  with they’re no middle principles so they force a bunch of turnovers. It’s just when Vanover isn’t on the floor they’re so small and they can be wiped out on the glass. But any game they play is fun to watch.
