Playing devils advocate....I think we would need to win 5 of our last 10 games.....and then a BTT game. That resume would likely get us in fairly easily, as we don't have any actual bad losses, and would end up with half a dozen or so top 50 wins. How they win 5 more games? Hard to see happening. We do have 6 more home games, but we've sucked as much at home as we have away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually don't have "bad losses"....and this isn't the first bracket where they still have us in the conversation. Obviously we have a favorable schedule down the road with home games vs Iowa, Wiscy, Sparty, Purdue where we could beef up our resume. I'll keep going back to Oklahoma last year. 18-14 and they got in because not many bad losses....if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see us getting to 18 wins, but it's still there for the taking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an at-large and #8 seed. I know they made it another year as well going 17-16...but they won the SEC tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first four game environment at Dayton Arena would be insane. You win that, then it's against a 6-seed (usually a very winnable match-up for an 11 seed), to a potential 3 seed match-up. Even though you play an extra game, I'd prefer that path to being an 8 or 9 seed. Just allowing myself to dream a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cohete15 Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Such an interesting scenario... What if IU only gets 4 more wins, but they are against ranked Iowa, ranked Wisconsin, ranked Purdue and home against Rutgers? That's a lot of really good wins. I would say if that happens, and we get a win in the BTT, We are in with 18 wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if we had a 10 -10 league record, but your scenario had us at 8-12 in conference. One thing that scenario definitely requires is that teams like Buffalo and Gonzaga win their conference tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, but I think I read somewhere that ASU got in the tournament last year with a bad conference record too. I could be mistaken on the team.

But yea you are right about the conference tournaments. Wofford and Lipscomb(which are head scratchers) are two more that need to win their tournaments. Go Hoosiers!!!

They started 13-3 and 3-0 in the ACC. Had a win over Wichita St and at Syracuse. They then lost seven straight. They then went 5-3 (not many good wins in there) to finish 18-13 and 8-10 in conference. Got two wins in the ACCT to finish 20-14. They went to the NIT IU's schedule will make or break us. I think IA, OSU, PU, WI, and Rutgers at home are must wins. A loss at Illinois would look bad at the wrong time, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protect home court and win the road games that a tournament team should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
