Feathery Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Win 2 of 3 and its a shared title at worst. No excuse not to win the conference at this point. Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!! Alford Bailey 1 Quote
cjvz20 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I think tonight is the game we need to win. I think Maryland game at home we should win and we could pull out a win at Iowa the way they been playing lately but I doubt it. Illinois is always a tough place for Iu to win. Quote
cjvz20 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I may be wrong but I believe the only game Iu has not been favored in Bigten has been Msu so far I'm sure will be underdogs at Iowa but favored against Maryland. So to be favored 16/18 games does that mean we are a great team or rest of Bigten is so so Quote

So to be favored 16/18 games does that mean we are a great team or rest of Bigten is so soat Michigan I would say that means we are really good at home to be favored over a top 5 team in iowa at the time. Depends on what lines you looked at ken Pom didn't have us projected as finishing 16-2 at the beginning of the year 13-5 was the pre-conference projections. Fwiw big 10 is projected to get half its teams in the tournament Quote
JaybobHoosier Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I really believe if we win this game tonight, IU will win or tie for the Big10 Championship. Tonight is a must win IMO, and the Iowa game allows us a loss. Just take care of tonight, and beat Maryland at the very least. GloryDays, Alford Bailey, Bobman1 and 2 others 5 Quote
KelleyHoosh Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Win tonight and we have breathing room for a loss at Iowa. I don't see this team losing in Assembly Hall with the Big Ten title on the line against Maryland JaybobHoosier, Alford Bailey and Bobman1 3 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Out of curiosity how did Kenpom predictions change for Iowas next games? Quote
MartintheMopMan Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Out of curiosity how did Kenpom predictions change for Iowas next games? Good question. They had a small drop, but for the most part remained steady. We now have a 30% chance to win compared to I believe 26 or 24% prior to the loss. At Michigan is at 54% and therefore a straight toss-up, it was maybe 56 or 58% before and at OSU is 63% which I believe is only 1 point lower than before. I don't think I ever took a snapshot of them prior to the game, but if someone recalls me posting one let me know and I'll grab it and post the comparison. Naturalhoosier and HoosierAloha 2 Quote
Parakeet Jones Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Win tonight and we have breathing room for a loss at Iowa. I don't see this team losing in Assembly Hall with the Big Ten title on the line against Maryland Will we cut the nets down if we do? :biggrin: KelleyHoosh 1 Quote
biteoftheapple Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 I actually see no breathing room until Iowa hangs another L. I hope we put it on them. Quote
Hoosiers219 Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Should and must win game tonight. Beat illinoy (as we should, but certainly not a given in the faux Assembly Hall) and we can split the last two. Let's just play it safe and win 'em all. ;) Also, illinoy is neither a good win nor a respectable loss, so a loss gives our tournament résumé another gut punch. Losing to Maryland or Iowa will not be seen as a bad loss, but can help us immeasurably with seeding with wins in March. HoosierAloha and WayneFleekHoosier 2 Quote

So to be favored 16/18 games does that mean we are a great team or rest of Bigten is so so B1G is so so and we finally got a beneficial schedule. Quote
Trish Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Win tonight and we have breathing room for a loss at Iowa. I don't see this team losing in Assembly Hall with the Big Ten title on the line against Maryland I said the same for senior night when we were #1, boy was I wrong. Note: that game wasn't for the championship. We won at Michigan which we all remember. KelleyHoosh and FortWayneHoosier 2 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 I still think both Iowa and Maryland get another loss along the way. I know its not true, but I think we at least share the title now. HoosierAloha and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

Trish Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Could've clinched on senior night though, no? Yeah you're right. I like to pretend that month of March didn't happen. That was hard for me as a student haha pappy1865 and Hovadipo 2 Quote
cjvz20 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Yeah you're right. I like to pretend that month of March didn't happen. That was hard for me as a student hahai was at that game. Didn't even stay for the post game senior stuff because was so upset. Didn't think we would win at Michigan that year Quote
Brass Cannon Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 i was at that game. Didn't even stay for the post game senior stuff because was so upset. Didn't think we would win at Michigan that year Almost didn't till Zeller went off and the luckiest of all rolls happened. Quote
NoahW35 Posted February 26, 2016 Posted February 26, 2016 Almost didn't till Zeller went off and the luckiest of all rolls happened. and Burke and Hardaway missed about 100 free throws Quote
