Maryland has the talent to beat anybody (they've beaten Illinois and Rutgers) We have historically never had good luck at the Barn And Rutgers is playing pretty well, even in their loss at Mackey... Tough road, but if we want in, we have to win the next 3... I really want to be optimistic, and say we should/will win the next three but….. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 8 hours ago, madmax said: So what’s the consensus at this point… we need to win 3 straight vs Maryland, Minnesota, and Rutgers(who is very good of late). Does that get us in at 19-11 with a loss to Purdue? Or do we need some games in the B10? I think we have to win 3 more in the regular season. Also if we finish 9th and have to play the first day we can't lose to the 14th place team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted February 22, 2022 Report Share Posted February 22, 2022 The good news, and hopefully what the coaching staff is preaching, is that this team, these players, hold their destiny in their own hands. No hoping other teams lose. Just play hard, win against 3 beatable opponents, and move forward 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuffhooper89 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Hate getting started on sec teams but I really think if kentucky is all together and fully healthy I think they're one of the toughest teams in the league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Per Lunardi, we need to root against BYU, San Diego State, SMU & Oregon. Those are the first four out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierDPU95 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 It's probably been posted here before but I find the Bracket Matrix to be super informative about who we're battling against for a bid. http://bracketmatrix.com/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 I'd really like to know how a 7-9 Iowa St team is slotted 7th in most brackets. What am I missing here? Sure they have a few quality wins...just like us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierinbham Posted March 1, 2022 Report Share Posted March 1, 2022 Need 1 this week and we should get in. 1 win this week and 1 in the B1G tourney and we're in for sure. Can't believe losing a Cov game and the Northwestern suspensions should cost us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
