No days off in the Big 12.    This happened to Oklahoma and Trae Young a few years back.   They were in the top 16 reveal and proceeded to lose  almost all their remaining games and ended up with a 10 seed.  

Iowa State now has lost 6 of 7.  Conventional wisdom had them on the 5 line entering today's game.....loss drops them to 17-12.  Next game is at Baylor and then they play in the Big 12 tournament.  Lose both and all of sudden they are 17-14.  Where do you think that would put them?  Not many teams make it in just three games over but I think they would, but would imagine that 5 seed dramatically falling.

And Oklahoma immediately lost to Rhode Island... Who had Stan Robinson and Fatts Russell.

Lost 6 of 7 and 10 of 14.

Had Georgetown vs. Providence on the other day a little before the IU-Iowa women's game. Was working, so wasn't paying close attention when I heard the name Clifton Moore. 

Man, I had almost forgotten all about that dude.

He always seems to do good when he gets some minutes. The 2 times I saw him play, he looked good. He would be a nice big coming off the bench for us.

Playing around with this fun little tool, one scenario I can hope for is:

IU to win out

Purdue to collapse and lose twice

Maryland to get beat on the road by either Penn State or Ohio State (which Maryland won earlier by only 6 and 7 points at home against each).

That would put Indiana as a one seed, they would play winner of Michigan and Iowa after the double bye, then play Ohio State, Nebraska, Illinois, or Maryland in semi-finals…and they wouldn’t play Rutgers or Purdue until the finals (or someone else…Northwestern…Michigan State…two teams from the bottom part of that bracket scenario who previously beat Indiana).

Here’s to hoping for a complete meltdown in Boiler country and a misstep by Maryland this week. Oh, and for Indiana to absolutely clobber Iowa and Michigan and move on with confidence no matter their fate in the seeding for the B10 tournament.

If the above scenario happens, plus Maryland loses twice, then that shakes the entire thing up considerably (and I couldn’t wrap my head around all that…it puts what I consider more dangerous teams in Indiana’s path earlier on). In the above scenario, IU might face Maryland in the semi-finals, which I’m more comfortable with than other scenarios I played with. I’m sure others have different opinions on what would make for a better chance of IU going unscathed, and it would be interesting to see those opinions. I didn’t try much more than Purdue losing twice and Maryland losing at least once…which must happen for IU to win the Big10 regular season title. And, no, I don’t think Purdue loses twice…but one can hope. I can see Maryland losing once though, which is all it would take (with two Indiana home wins) for Indiana to finish second.

Under his watch they did bust the Miami women's team for the first (and as far as I know the only) NIL infraction while blatantly ignoring the obvious infractions going on in men's sports. So congratulations?

Detroit up 19 and Davis has 28 with 12 min to go.   Looks like he is going to get another game to add to his point total 

[Uspshoosier]

Queens up 2 at Kennesaw with 11:30 to go.   Kennesaw is the 1 seed.   Queens beat them last week at their place so this isn’t too shocking.    
Stetson up to with 8 min to go 

really good ASUN tournament action going on

Survive and advance for Kennesaw.   Missed 2 FTs with 3 sec to go but Queens couldn’t get a shot off.

@Uspshoosier does Clemson have an NCAA pulse left?

Yeah but they are going to have to make a little run in the ACC tourney and pass some teams.  Next 4 out or worse right now for me

I have them at second four out.  Their ACC tournament seed could work against them....think right now they would be the 5 seed and if so would face the winner of the 12/13 game on Wednesday which can't help their cause.

Nebraska up 12 on MIchigan State at half.  Cornhuskers have played really well in the second half of the Big Ten season.

[DChoosier]

It’s fun watching Keisei T on Nebraska.
From a size and athletic perspective he looks like guys I played against in IU intramural games but man he can fill it up.

Louisville has had a truly shitty season. To memorialize it, they had a frisbee dog on the court at halftime. The dog perfectly summarized the season for them:
