It will be a bad loss in fans eyes but in the committee eyes( the only ones that matter) , if Fort Wayne wins there league like they did last year and are projected to do this year they will be in the top 75 in rpi which will not be considered a bad loss. As long as that would be iu's worst loss it won't effect them. Examples from previous years. Kansas lost to tcu ( rpi +200 on the road) and still got a 1 seed, last year they lost to Oklahoma st on the road(+150 rpi) and still got a 1 seed) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha, Class of '66 Old Fart, Walking Boot of Doom and 3 others 6 Quote

AKHoosier Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 You're allowed one "wtf loss" per year in college basketball if you're trying to compete for a 1 seed. As long as we don't go dropping games at Rutgers or at home to Penn State, I can live with the IPFW loss. It's not going to hurt us that much. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted December 7, 2016 Posted December 7, 2016 The B1G is struggling overall. Where are the marquee wins? The bad losses? O$U losing to FAU, Iowa losing to everyone, MSU not getting let OOC wins, etc. I can see the committee punishing the top teams again. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

They had the wins last year to warrant a 3 or 4 seed however the losses to penn state(121), unlv(148), and wake(154) were the reason they won the big 10 regular season and ended up with a 5 seed Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha 1 Quote

Marquee wins would be @purdue, @wisky, wisky, Purdue, Michigan st. It's still early but 13 of 14 B1G teams are in the Ken Pom top 100( 1 guess which school isn't) Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

I was speaking more to the marquee wins in the OOC schedule for the B1G. IU has the wins but the others just aren't there. WinsIU - KU, UNC Wiscy - Syracusepu - ASU, possible NDMSU - Wichita StMichigan - Marquette, SMU, TexasMaryland - OK St., G'townO$U - ProvidenceThat's not a lot of good wins for the entire conference. There are a few more opportunities out there but not a lot. I'm guessing the B1G will be the 4th or 5th rated conference begins the ACC, Big East, PAC12, and maybe Big 12. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

Committee judges each team individually on their team sheets they won't penalize iu because other B1G teams couldn't win in the OOC or at least that has what the committee chair has said in the past Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

As it stands there are only 2, maybe 3, teams and 4-5 opportunities for great wins in conference play. Good wins against possible tourney teams would be limited as well with @Maryland, @O$U, and Michigan (x2). The B1G, as a whole, is down. The conference will provide plenty of opportunities for top 100 wins but not the marquee wins that other conference teams will have. Quote

As of now wisky is Ken Pom (8)and we would play them 2 (Ken Pom loves him some wisky), Purdue (12) we play them 2 times, Michigan(26) and we play them 2 times. Now these numbers will change overtime and the committee will use rpi( rpi can't be trusted this early it needs time for the numbers to work themselves out). Iu just needs to avoid multiple +100 L's and in my opinion if they win they games they are supposed to at home in the B1G they will get a good seed Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote
