Not being snarky when I ask this genuine question because I know you're a numbers guy... 

What sort of difference would it make on SOS metrics if we lost to WVU vs. lost to Gonzaga? or winning vs. WVU compared to a close loss or blow out to Gonzaga? Do we really need it to be Gonzaga regardless because of where they're likely to finish the year since we aren't playing many top non-con teams this year? 

Always appreciate your insights on the board USPS. 

Just that the Zags will most likely end up as a 1 or 2 seed in the tourney and West Virginia is maybe a borderline line tourney team (I think they are projected 13th in the Big 12).  With no other marquee non con game you would want your team to at least play against the projected 1seed in the ncaa tourney.   That way a loss really wouldn’t hurt you and it would improve your SOS and if you win that game then it will travel all the way to March view it as a get out of jail free card.

If I had to fill out a bracket today I think I’d pick Auburn to win it all. They are that good. Athletic and long at every position. Which hurts extra hard because I can confirm with 100% certainty that Bruce Pearl was in contact with our admin about the IU job last year and we told him we were giving Woody one more crack at it. Auburn’s line-up is everything modern I want for IU and will probably not have for several more years.

Well, I know ol BP isn’t a young fella but if interested last year what about at the end of the year. I mean, he is only one year older. Make it a results based with bonuses for staying and producing for 6+ years
