I realize history says that an 18-15 has a slim chance at making the tourney but that was prior to the NET and Quad system which is what’s emphasized by the committee now, which is what makes me think Purdue would get in at 18-15. I’d love to be wrong though.

Purdue has some real work to do to get to 18-15, and even that is unlikely to get them in.

That'd be 3-1 for the rest of the regular season + 1-1 in the BTT. 

They haven't shown that they're good enough to win four out of six B1G games yet this year.

Yeah I posted the teams that had 15 losses, worst percentage and least number of games won straight from the NCAA website a couple days ago. Interesting looking back over them. Did you miss that post?

I hopped into it from that singular post I quoted. Interesting that the 15 loss teams have been the last 3 seasons. Seems 19 wins is a goal to have a chance with 15 losses.

They would have a better chance at 18-15 and getting in if they didn’t have any Quad 3 losses but they still have 2 of those. Having that many losses you better not have any bad ones on the resume.

Just going off the recent trend, 19 wins will get you in with 15 losses. But yea, the likelihood of it being Purdue is fairly low with their bad losses.

At 14-13 they are still in quite a bit of projected brackets and have a NET of 33 and SOS of 5. Assuming they go 3-1 to finish the season (3 home games against unranked opponents) and finish 10-10 in conference, I would bet they get in. I know the conference record isn’t on team sheets but the metrics would have Purdue in the top 30 in NET and a SOS of top 5. Is the committee really going to keep them out??? I mean IU finished 17-15 and was the first team OUT of the field last year with worse numbers in comparison to NET and SOS. The 2 Quad 3 losses are HUGE and could be the biggest factor to keep them out but can anyone explain how at 14-13 with 2 Quad 3 losses and a Quad 1 record of 3-10, they are 33 in the NET??? I’m really hoping the committee is smarter than the computers and don’t just go by the “numbers.”

It would interesting to see how the committee handled it. IU was the fourth team out last year. UNCG was the first team out
