Considering some of the tier one wins IU has pulled off this season. Sure there is work left to do. And time is getting short. Perhaps the best thing about possibly having to play the most games in the BTT, is that IU will have more opportunities to up their wins total, not to mention what could happen down the stretch in the regular conference schedule. You may have written IU off already. And I can appreciate why you feel that way. In my case, I have not put them in the coffin just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win out and make the semis or the finals of the BTT and we are in the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have written IU off already. And I can appreciate why you feel that way. In my case, I have not put them in the coffin just yet. Barely a pulse imo. If IU wins out, and loses in the B1G tourney final, we would likely be the first at-large team in with 15 losses. Possible, takes a slightly improbable run, and some help from the committee. But yes, there is a chance, albeit a small one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSU up 34-32 on Michigan late first half. We are not getting in with 15 losses, regardless of how many wins we have. An at-large has never got in with more than 14. We have 14 now which means we cant lose again which means we must win the BTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On CBS pre game they were talking about whether they should take team from the major conferences who can't even finish .500 in conference over mid major teams who lose their conference tournament. My feeling teams like IU or Alabama and other teams from major conferences shouldn't be considered if they have below .500 record in conference. Seth Davis thought they should make that a criteria to get an at large bid and I totally agree wit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My answer : Never. Actually I only see 4 or 5 quality teams and the rest are very mediocre at best. I know you are old enough so how do you not remember the big ten from around 86-93 who had a lot more quality teams than we see today. Just because the records are somewhat even does not mean there is a lot of quality teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the top 5 teams in the big ten they are all very mediocre at best and I still think that teams in mid major leagues should get in before the 7th or 8th place team in the major conferences. I guess my definition of a strong conference is different than yours. but that is alright. So you are telling me teams like OSU, Mnnesota, Iowa are really top flight teams in the country.

When have we ever seen the likes of Northwestern or even Penn State have the ability to knock off any other team in the BIG ? And that's not even considering the two newbies to the BIG. Maryland and Rutgers. And since you referred to my age..... there was a time when Wisconsin was the laughing stock of the BIG.... and IU ran a series of wins against them that lasted for years.
