Parakeet Jones Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 37 minutes ago, CauseThatsMyDJ said: I just messed around for a couple minutes and I couldn't find any scenario where we win our next two games and don't finish 8th or 9th. Our opponent will most likely be Minnesota but there are outside chances for it to be Ohio State or Iowa. I'll take that. I hate the thought of Purdue winning the B1G, but if we face them on Friday, I think that works in our favor. It's like the old saying goes, "It's tough to beat the same team three times in one season." That is also why I'd like to avoid MSU if we can advance a few games.

In fact, some national analysts believe we currently have a resume worthy of a tournament bid as it stands. Regardless, to maximize Indiana's chances.

FW_Hoosier Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 1 hour ago, cohete15 said: At this point it's all about racking up enough wins to make it reasonable to put us in the tournament. We have to win 3 more games, and IMO, Thursday is the biggest game of the year. If we win that...then Sunday...a home game against none other than Rutgers...will be one of the most rowdy atmospheres we've had at Assembly Hall this year. I just absolutely cannot see us losing that game. Then we play a bottom half of the league team in the first game in the BTT...likely a team with not much to play for. It's ALL about @ Illinois The thing that worries me a little about the Rutgers game is that all the students will be on spring break... Should dampen the atmosphere a little.

We're not winning it, which instantly puts it into the "don't care" category for me. If the Toiletmakers get a share of a title that we werent' winning anyway, but that win helps our tournament odds.....Boiler the hell up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 3 hours ago, AxnJxn said: Likely, yes. But there's no way to know that, because we don't know how many bid stealers are coming out of the smaller conference tournaments. We know it won't be many. There aren't very many teams in smaller conferences that would make it without winning their tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you need to hope that Gonzaga doesn't get upset because that is usually a one bid league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 It's interesting to see the different bracketologists. This is Howie Schwab's bubble. That home loss to OSU really hurt. Last Four In Clemson (17-12) Murray State (25-4) Ohio State (18-11) St. John's (20-10) First Four Out Indiana (15-14) Creighton (16-13) Seton Hall (16-12) Furman (24-6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St John’s play at Xavier who is fighting for their life Clemson at Notre Dame and host Syracuse difficult but not impossible slate Alabama hosts auburn and travels to Arkansas not great for us but no cakewalk Temple at UCONN and at home versus UCF not the best for us Seton Hall has to host both Villanova and Marquette hopefully lose both Murray State season finished need them to screw it up in their tourney. Hopefully a day 1 loss Looking at this we win 3 more games straight and I think we are in. Not an easy task by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
