If that happens Texas A&M beats Tennessee tomorrow, it's very likely we will be in Dayton. Dayton is not what we want, but considering where we were before the BTT, we can't complain about it. The great thing is Indiana fans will travel to in high numbers to Dayton so it's not the worse thing on earth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those games are considered tournament games and if you win it counts as a tournament win. UCLA and VCU made the final four after playing in the play in game 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 The First Four is nothing to be ashamed of. IU fans need to step back and be thankful we won against Illinois. Otherwise, the Texas A&M and VaTech runs may have resulted in us not getting in at all. We were 9-11 in on conference and played a terrible non-conference slate. Are we playing like a top 25 team? Yes. But, that is not what gets you in the tournament. We're going to get in. Be happy whether it's Dayton or not. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if in the long term the NBA and college will make rule changes to even things out. I doubt it cause fans love watching shots go in but something in me wishes things could be a bit more balanced. I honestly don't even know how much you can really do it in basketball with how skilled guys are. In some sports, like football, you can absolutely shift things with the rules but with basketball it's pretty tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Good for Va Tech - bad for Rat Face. He's had a very bad week and I, personally, love the send off he is getting from the ACC. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I honestly really loved listening to Bilas down the stretch of that game - he seemed genuinely excited for the Va Tech kids even though it was against Duke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think a VT and Iowa game would be an entertaining game in the first round. Iowa probably be a 4th or 5th seed and VT will probably be a 11 seed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They looked pretty bad last night against Oklahoma I think they have elite potential and there are probably worse teams we could play at that seed line. Who knows tho… let’s just beat whoever we face Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) The disappointing thing to think about is what our seed line would be if we could have pulled out a few of those close games. Both UW games. Rutgers. OSU. Iowa today. At Purdue. Not saying all of them but 3 or 4 of them we could be looking at a 5 or 6 seed.

SawatchHoosier Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) VT coach Mike Young said about his team "we were in a dark place." I gotta agree. Anyone would be in a dark place having to see the likes Mike Krzyzewski, Jim Boeheim and Jay Bilas on a daily basis. Also playing Louisville in the YUM Center each season too...

rogue3542 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) I still would be surprised if we were in the play in games. If you look at lunardi's predictions, I seriously doubt Rutgers or Iowa state is ahead of us at this point. Even if VT and A&M win tomorrow, I think IU ends up an 11 or non-play-in 12.
