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. Our best bet is to replace TCU. They shouldn't be in the field. They've lost 6 of their last 7 and played a total cupcake non-conference schedule. They currently have a 54 NET vs IU at 55, but I'm not sure how that's possible. Only quality wins are IA ST. Also have a good shot at replacing AL. 2-4 over last six with only wins against Vandy and S Carolina. Lost to TX A&M. Also played a weak non-conference and lost to GA ST and Northeastern As Al Davis said, Just win baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieBall13 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Not sure why Texas is also not being looked at in the same way as us. Somehow they are safely in the tourney while we are the poster boy for how in the heck is this team even on the bubble with this record. As far as I can tell, Big Ten > Big Twelve and we both have several quality wins (you could argue we have more). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now Lunardi has Texas as a 9 seed and I think they are like 16-14 so how is their resume that much better than outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we hot wins against Marquette, UL, Butler, MSU (2), Wis. I guess there resume is a little better because our worse losses are NW and Rutgers which is worse than their losses.

They lost at home to Radford, which is a Quad 3 loss. Road losses to NW and Rut are Quad 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 So, what if IU wins out and wins the BTT. @ Illinois Rutgers BTT- at least 3 more wins, maybe four. 2-3 of which would be pretty high quality wins, putting IU on the map as the hottest team in the country going into the tournament. Winners of 6 or 7 straight, probably 4 wins over ranked teams. Try seeding that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quad wins thing is a little over-played. It gets us back in the bubble conversation but a loss to either Illinois or Rutgers is pretty much looking fatal (though NIT almost certain), barring a B1G tourney win. Said it before though, it’s a tall order, particularly given the number of games and short turnaround, but we’re now looking like a team that could win the BTT. Wouldn’t that be wild?

ArchieBall13 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Random thought for BTT...do we know health/status of Wesson, Matthews and Nix for BTT? Those are big missing players if they are absent from tourney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
