Not mentioned in either AP or ESPN

 

RPI up to 33

KemPom jumped from 54 to 39

[BlueDevil 9,359]

At 19-9 shouldn't be expecting them.... Especially with the WLWLWLW trend or however it's going right now. Stay patient couple dubs in a row might get em back in

[incrediboy 928]

CBS has us a 7 seed, ESPN 8

 

BTN's supposed "expert" projected us at 8 (also MSU and OSU as 8's)

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

Really couldn't care less about any number next to our name until Selection Sunday

[IU Hoosier41 14,465]

Really couldn't care less about any number next to our name until Selection Sunday

 

But damnit PLEASSSSSE be a number on Selection Sunday (specifically during the SAME telecast Kentucky, Duke, Virginia, Wisconsin get announced... #JustSayin)

[TheStillman 991]

Agreed who cares about ranking at this point. Win 2 of the next 3 and we should be breathing easy come Selection Sunday

[Magnanimous 4,851]

We were barely ranked when we were, haven't had an impressive win in a month, and then throw in a couple of losses. What do you expect? Fortunately, other than the scoreboard disparity in a couple of games, we don't have any "bad losses" this year, which may bump us ahead of several other teams in the same tier come selection Sunday. Our RPI is going up because some of our wins early in the season are improving their resume (like SMU).

Just to echo others, I mean really don't deserve it. That loss at home against Purdue is a stinger. Haven't had any impressive wins lately

I'm sure it's probably just me but if we end up at a 8 or 9 seed I hope it's in UK's bracket. IU vs UK in the Yum! That place would be electric! And if we have one of those 17-18 made 3 pointer games you never know. All the pressure would be on the Cats. Especially if they're undefeated. Payback for 75. Yogi with the game winner! Whata dream come true!

Hard to move up when you keep going 1-1 every week.

LOL. Did you even watch the Purdue game? It would be 10 times worse playing Kentucky.

I watched it but I also watched the Maryland, Minnesota game where we couldn't miss. If that shows up you never know. Not like we're going to the final 4. It could be one of those magical nights in march.

[FKfootball 1,046]

If we win 1 more game, I think we are in. 2 would make us a lock. 3 wins and I believe we will have a favorable draw.

We would probably need hit more than 17 or 18.  They could have that many offensive rebounds just in the first half...and I'm only semi exaggerating.

[323SGrant 1,176]

UK has a plethora of big men. IU... not so much!

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

Not only do the UK have many bigs, but, defense is where they excel.

I'm not sure id want to even watch that game, they would tear us apart lol. Nice thought though!

[coonhounds 10,256]

I want the uk matchup as well. Give us a chance to defend our undefeated season plus the writing is on the wall that we are not going far. We would not be gambling much if we lose ok that stinks but was expected not like getting swept by pu but if we win? The biggest party of all would be in order and it would be a huge win for crean and iu. I know it would never happen but its worth the chance to me lol

[JSHoosier 21,815]

UK would have like 40 points in the paint.

 

On the other hand the posters that want to see more of April would get their chance, all our others bigs would be fouled out.
