KoB2011 3,157 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 This is in reference to the last two (or three) spots based on all the criteria the committee looks at. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hoosiermd 262 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Last night on Bleacher Report, they had us in the last 4 in with us in Dayton playing Belmont. That isn't much but it's something to hope for! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoosierinbham 624 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 It's going to be very interesting to see and hear what the committee places the most value on. If they value the most quad 1 wins, and fewest quad 3 and 4 losses, we have a chance. Strength of schedule also benefits us. If they also consider injury impact, another good sign. If they emphasize overall record, and focus on our embarrassing stretch, we're toast. Sad that we're even in this position, and our chances are slim, but we could be the darlings of the current metrics. With the conference bias of ESPN, we won't know until it is announced.

FW_Hoosier 3,747 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Well, at the very least there’s a little intrigue for the Hoosiers on Selection Sunday this year. We’re back! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Indy1987 508 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I have a glimmer of hope. That's more than the last 2 years. Just think a missed tip in(Arkansas) or a missed FT(every loss pretty much) or a Bohannon circus 3 is the difference in us dancing. Hopefully this will be the last year we ever have to sweat out the bubble. Go Hoosiers!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Leathernecks 3,946 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I would love to see us get in, but I have to admit, there's part of me that doesn't want it to happen. First, I don't think we deserve it. I don't think 17-15 (8-12) and ending the season going 5-13 ever deserves to be in the tournament. For as big of a disappointment as this season was, I don't think our players and coaches deserve to make the big dance. Second, I always like seeing the some of the smaller conferences get teams in. I'd rather see a 26-5 Belmont team get in over a team that finished in the bottom half of a big conference. That doesn't just go for us, but for some of the other bubble teams too. Oklahoma, OSU, IU, to a lesser extent Florida. I'd much rather see VCU, Belmont, Lipscomb, UNC Greensboro over those teams. I can't change my way of thinking just because we happen to be in that group this year. I really don't think we'll make it though.

ArchieBall13 434 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I will say I don’t think St. John’s deserves to be in the field regardless of what happens to us. Very unimpressed with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shooter 293 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 I think our biggest problem is not overall record, but how we played the second half of the season. Overall record is somewhat defensible considering we played 21 B1G games, plus multiple high level non conf opponents. But, we are 6-13 since Jan 1. I can't see the committee rewarding that. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CauseThatsMyDJ 4,528 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 We are in 13 of the 104 brackets on the bracket matrix. So you're saying there's a 13% chance. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
