However, I would take Virginia’s success with Bennett in a heartbeat. It beats dwelling in mediocrity An elite 8, sweet 16, 3 conference titles and 2 conference tournament titles.

HoosierAloha Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 The better teams are going to get the BOTD. It’s that simpleWhy should any team get the benefit of the doubt? When an official sees a foul they should call it. That doesn’t happen because refs have your line of thinking. That’s not how sports should be officiated. In some alternate universe, officials wear glasses that only allow them to see figures and not uniforms or players. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app cappymo14 and thebigweave 2 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 What? No lol. The committee isn’t stupid enough to put a team that would be 17-14 overall and 8-12 in conference into the tourney. That’s if we won our remaining 4. We are in “having to win the Big Ten Tourney” territory now. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appThere is still a way for IU to get in without winning the conference tourney. However, this team is pretty much done for the season so it doesn’t really matter. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

They are not going to win out but if they did and made the semifinals or finals they would be closer then you think with 15 losses. 4 games or better over 500 is the number you would need to pay attention to. Bubble is weak and winning out and winning those games in the tournament would add more quad1 wins. They have 5 as of today. IU is the only team with 5 quad 1 wins and are projected out of the field. Again they will not win out in the regular season so nothing to worry about. Fun to speculate. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierAloha 1 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 The problem with with this Quad thing is that it is making losing not mean anything almost. You can even see it with this. Don has even mentioned it on Dakichs show. These kids on this team don’t even seem to care about losing. Which he blames AAU. Like I’ve said before, there is no standard and it’s an absolute joke for teams like Indiana, Clemson and Oklahoma to even be in a conversation of the NCAA tourney. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appThe quad system is what it is. Losing will always matter. If losing didn’t matter then IU would be projected in the tourney with 5 quad 1 wins. Since they have been losing 12of 13 their losses stacked up and made those wins worthless. I’m not getting into the debate on the selection process You know my thoughts and I know yours Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave 1 Quote
Uspshoosier Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Good to be back in this thread. I’ve been sick this week and this had been the longest I have a gone without watching college basketball during the season. I was getting the shakes. I will have a lot of games to catch up on the dvr. Now some live updates. Toledo up 1 over northern Illinois with 30 secs to go Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha and Rico 2 Quote

That being said, I would think nobody really wants to play us in the BTT. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Not how it should be. However, that’s what happensAnd that’s what makes pretty good teams able to close out games they probably should have lost. It’s cool to be mentally tough and well coached but when you get a defensive stop because the ref doesn’t call a mugging it helps. When you get extra free throws down the stretch when you weren’t touched, it helps. So mentally tough and well coached helps a lot when you call the fouls. It’s garbage and the conference suffers for it. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave 1 Quote

HoosierAloha Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 No way. We'd have 15 losses. An at-large bid is gone and has been for awhile now.It won’t happen but there is a way..Wiscy and MSU would be quad 1 wins, @Ill and Rutgers are quad 2 wins. That’s 17-14 in the regular season. If IU gets to the conference finals they’d most likely pick up a couple more quad 1 and a quad 2 win. At 20-15 with the wins they’d have they’d be in.

We’ve lost 12 of 13, I’d think most teams in the conference would love to get a W in the conference tourney and add a quad 2 win. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

BGVille Hoosierfan Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 No way. We'd have 15 losses. An at-large bid is gone and has been for awhile now.Joe Lunardi still had us in at 13-13 earlier this week. Conference record means zero when it comes to the selection process. This new NET system would work in our favor as we'd be in the top 15 in Quad 1 wins if we win out the regular season. The committee thinks highly of the B1G this year. If we go 17-14, we're in. Book it. Not gonna happen but we have a chance. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Rico 1 Quote
