What finish will make YOU happy with IU Basketball this March?

[cjvz20 896]

Current projection has our route to the final 4: stony brook, maryland, virginia, oklahoma/kentucky. That is a gauntlet.
All assuming higher seeds win to face us.

i don't think we would be playing another big ten team in the second round. I say if we get a 3 seed we should expect an elite eight I don't believe any of the 2 seeds are any better then us. If we get a 4 seed I see a lot of projections are that we will play in Spokane we might not make the second weekend then

we can play a BIG team in the 2nd round if we didn't play them twice during the conference season

We might do pretty well in the tournament. We tend to sneak up on teams that haven't played us yet. It's always the second game that they have us figured out.

Final Four for me. But I don't expect it from CTC. Next year's team will have major losses. Now is the time if you want to impress all of these highly rated recruits in the State of IN and beyond.

Undefeated national championship. Nothing less. Anything less is an absolute indignity to the program. This is Indiana, after all.

It's been 29 years. Getting to be ridiculous

Elite 8.

 

If you asked me (and probably a majority of fans) before the season started whether or not I'd be happy with a B1G championship and an Elite 8 appearance from this team, I would have said yes.

 

That's a good season.

you wear sarcasm poorly. Look at the answers above. No one is being ridiculous until you chimed in.

[Class of '66 Old Fart 85,689]

This team is definitely an Elite 8 level team and has Final 4 potential.  The inconsistency that reared its head against Michigan yesterday will determine if it can actually reach the Elite 8 or will flame out early in the Big Dance.

Top 5 program, right? That's what everyone hears on here. Losing in the quarterfinal of BTT = this season is a failure, lost. Maui, now this. Unreal

Well folks....

 

 

Bracket isn't in our favor.

What'd he say?

[colonel06 1,921]

What'd he say?

How CTC had been on the hot seat last 2 years and how good of coaching job this year was. Then went on to say this was Cal'a best coaching job.

Now your comin around....

Elite 8 after beating UK and NC would be fine

[Scooter D 928]

Just beat UK. Anything else is just gravy.

[bleedhoosier 3,627]

Keeping my patient hat on, if we hit sweet 16 (take out UK), I'm satisfied (for now) and want Crean to stay. That still is program progress. 3 sweet 16's and 2 conference titles in the last 4 years is a fairly big deal to our "resurgence" as a blue blood program. Looking very good for next year too if some things fall into place.

Obviously I'm joking as I'm sure you know. Just find it funny people want national titles. How about we get there, first. You know, once every 25 years or so

[X-Hoosier 529]

Well.. I could easily see us losing in the first round unfortunately... and the 2nd round won't be any easier... if we make it to the 16 then we probably have to play UNC... which I don't think would be too fun because I don't know who would guard Brice Johnson. Now the Elite 8 everyone wants.... that'd probably be Xavier or West Virginia.... s sweet 16 would be nice. It'll be an uphill battle.
