Judging by box score he looked a tad ineffective. Almost nonexistent. Was that play vs him or foul trouble or both? Edit-Quick glance at a few places. Illini fans say they were homered.

13th&Jackson Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Wichita St playing at Memphis, two bubble teams. 8 minutes in its 9-7 Memphis. Both look awful. Just jacking 3s. Surprised WS so undisciplined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to break the news to you, but Wesson will be terrorizing Illiwhini’s interior offerings again next season.

WS finished game 6-23 from 3 and 12-22 on FTs. That was a really bad loss for AS. Third straight loss for them. Palm now has IU as a 10, down from 9 due to Providence moving up. Has IU as the top team on the bubble list, but has eight teams in NCAAT that are behind IU on the bubble list. Indiana beat Minnesota 72-67: The Hoosiers struggle at times to finish games, but they got the job done against the Gophers to complete the season sweep. They did slip from a No. 9 seed to a No. 10 seed in the bracket, but that was due to Providence moving up than anything about this game. IU hosts the red-hot Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday to end the regular season. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/bracketology/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is bias against the big ten or something against Iu because they look a lot better than some of the teams he has in. I watched the last 15 minutes of the ASU and Washington game and ASU is not even close to being as good as IU. If they are one of the top 4 teams in the Pac 10 then the Pac 10 is in big trouble.

His whole theory is so idiotic. He says if you don't go .500 in conference you should have to win 2 conf tournament games. So Joe...using this approach you would choose to reward a weaker team from a weaker P5 conference (PAC 12, ACC, BIg 12,etc..) because they had more bottom feeder teams to get the .500 record?

But fortunately Wesson won't be back, he's got the game with the addition of the 3 point shot to get drafted, so he's gone. Unlike Kofi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Lunardi is that he's taking a hardline stance on this issue, when it's a criteria that the NCAA does not use, and with the largest platform of any bracketologist he's using that made up criteria to build his bracket. Assuming there are no major meltdowns by IU (getting maxed by Wisconsin and then losing to NEB in the BTT) I think we'll find on selection Sunday that not only is IU not on the bubble, but that they're not even really that close to it. The problem is Lunardi is spouting off with his made up criteria and right now he's the loudest voice in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at that point I don't believe in the .500 threshold. Look at USC or even Arizona St....they get 7-8 wins handed to them by weak conference. Or even UConn or Syracuse....could go on and on about weaker conferences. Of course I believe you should have the best available teams in the tourney. Maybe that's just me. You put Marquette or Texas in the Big 10 this year and they maybe have 7-8 wins at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that as well, but right now we're kind of discussing the narrative and in my opinion the narrative that IU is somehow on the bubble (as of this moment) is in accurate, but it's being pushed by the bracketologist with the loudest, albeit inaccurate (though the general fans/media don't know that) voice.
