It does look like crap. So does 18-14 against a worse schedule with worse wins. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BADGERVOL 2,189 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 I hope we make the tourney. What fan wouldn’t want their team in there. do I believe fairly we DESERVE to be in there? No. You can’t flake out as long as we did and hit it hot at the end and yell “that’s enough! We’re back now!” You made your bed. Lay in it. It’s hard because ALL of us know what we are capabale of when at our best but our boys CHOSE to be divided and allow petty crap and immaturity wreck their season. Now if we are blessed with a bid great. I hope we make the most of it. If we don’t there is ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN THR WORLD TO BLAME, except themselves. Romeo when you leave for the NBA remember that when you’re 1.5 games in the lead of the 8th spot in the NBA regular season fighting for that last spot. If you’re one of the players, remember that when a chick hits on you and your hormones want something you know will fracture the team. when you have an immature dad who wants to spout off, remember that. when you think you’re more important than what the coaching staff is selling as far as a scheme...remember that. when you’re fighting for a promotion and so are others and it’s 3months away and it’s 5:30pm on a Friday and there’s stuff that needs to be wrapped up...remember that. If you don’t make it in you didn’t NOT make it in today, you didn’t make it in mid winter when childish division was more important than long term success and glory. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KoB2011 3,989 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Bracket Matrix had us in before that game. The first four out all either have lost or will lose today to Kansas. I'm not convinced we got knocked out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoosierinbham 646 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I get the frustration of losing today, and we all know what our overall record is, but until the committee decides and gives explanations, we won't know for sure. When you look at the good wins and bad losses of the other bubble teams, I still think we have a shot if those teams lose today. Heck, stick us in the play-in game to prove that we deserve it.

hoopsta007 92 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) I agree that we have a shot. Other games are breaking our way so far (although I see now that Alabama has made a comeback) Edited March 15, 2019 by hoopsta007 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dbmhoosier 3,739 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 We shouldn't get in but I wager that were we 9-11 in conference we'd be a lock. Say instead of playing UM or Iowa at home we had played PSU for a 2nd time and squeaked out a win. We'd be 9-11. Would we be anymore deserving of a bid? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Riverrat 45 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I just want all the people on here who are trying to convince themselves that we deserve a spot to look at our record. If this record belonged to anyone else we would be making fun of them. It was a bad season where the team did not meet expectations. Injuries played a role for sure but we were not a good team. I do not think our coaching at any point was elite. Without the so called crean players that so many people have b#$%"!# about we get blown out of the water these last 5 games. Romeo had a good season for a freshman but he was far from the hype. I still cant believe all the people that think we have a chance. Smh 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, we have a shaky resume but so does every other bubble team. Who out of Creighton, Clemson, ASU, Texas, etc. can you say for sure deserves it over us? What makes their records not suck? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BGleas 8,997 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Just depressing, if IU doesn’t make it, barring a grad transfer, there won’t be a single player on the roster that’s ever played in an NCAA Tournament game. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CincyHoosier 1,004 Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 This team really doesn't deserve a spot after today. There is not much of an argument to be made anymore. Indiana basketball has become a mockery. I hope Archie can get this figured out. Next year has to be better. I dont know how much more of this (as in the last 2 decades) the fanbase and program can tolerate before IU basketball is just a footnote about Bob Knight. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It isn't about rather or not this team deserves it in a vacuum. 68 teams have to make it; name the 68 teams that deserve it over us..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
