It depends if we make up those games because if we don't going 14-11 will get us in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did play better tonight, so what Archie said worked. Just funny to hear him say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say a team goes 10-10 and another team goes 9-9 so I would guess the first thing they look at is head to head. I assume the same tie-breakers would apply if 3 or 4 teams went 10-10. Someone will be happy and someone won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 This was honestly a really good win. How anyone is saying otherwise is dumbfounding. Were there tense moments against another hungry team in a similar situation to us? Of course. But we won by double digits, how can some of you legitimately be unhappy unless you wanted us to lose?

I still think some mid-majors with flashier records will get in before us if we are 14-13. And, you know a 14-13 Duke team would. We need to be 2 games over .500 to feel good about getting in.

loviubb Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 I only watched parts of the game but told my son ( 38 yr Mich. fan) IU by 12 ! He says I bet the odds! He loss we WON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 The MSU game is a must. And, then we need to avoid losing to Minnesota or Maryland in the BTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half the schools wont play enough games to get into the tournament. We are in no matter if we are .500 or not. Going to be one pf those 15-12, I won’t be worried at all. 14-13, I’ll be a bit worried, but we’d probably make it for the brand name alone. 13-14, we will be biting our fingernails on Selection Sunday and won’t have any right to complain if we don’t make it.

FW_Hoosier Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Shot 67% in the second half, 5/7 from three, 47 points. That has to be our best offensive half in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have trouble thinking that because we I U and RMK still hurts us in the selection but I do think it is so!! If I could slam the phone and show it I would!!! I do not know how to do it!!! GO IU !!

IU Scott Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just saw the stats that we outrebounded them 34-24 and couldn't believe that. They did have 13 offensive rebounds but only 11 defensive rebounds. It seemed like they out rebounded us so I was surprised to see that stat.

Seeking6 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Pretty cool scene after the win. Lander and Leal practicing....and TJD is Leal's rebounder for shots after the game. I know, I know, I know....we can all find faults/complaints. Sometimes it's easier just to enjoy seeing a kid like TJD being a rebounder for Leal after the game. I'm certain when I wake some of the normal crowd will have comments. To me. Pure teammates is what I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyhoosier29 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 On ball defense was bad. Too many turnovers. Basketball IQ has to get better (not being aware of the situation late, having timeouts and not calling them when we’re in trouble -RP & AD). Negatives aside - Came ready to play tonight. Shot the ball well. Dominated the game minus the turnovers (likely win by 15-20 if we limit them to 10). Defense stepped up late when needed. Made free throws again late in the game (aren’t the best, but seem to make the clutch ones). Beat a team with a lot of quality wins. Beat MSU.

Pure teammates is what I see. There’s a lot to like about this team, that’s why I am not a fan of the negativity. They don’t quit, seem to care, and seem to get along. I’m always a bit disappointed in the lack of posts after a win. Completely the opposite win we lose and the torches are lit. They are definitely a tournament team warts and all.

Mid majors this year across the board lack the non-conference resumes that they get in normal years and their schedules are way weaker then normal. I think this is the year that fewer mid majors make it in, but honestly, there is absolutely no way to know what the committee will do(per usual).

IUguy Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Love the win but hate the inconsistency and the continuous high turnovers. These, and inconsistent free throw shooting are why easy games become tight or losses and why we get blown out like against OSU. Maybe we can beat MSU, Rutgers and Purdue, who can’t possibly hit threes like they did last time, but only if we clean up the items listed above. Do not think we can beat Michigan.

Teams below us in NET that would get in ahead of us if the tournament started today. Utah State North Carolina Possibly Syracuse Say we go 1-3 the rest of the way in conference to finish 8-10 and 13-12 overall headed into the BTT. Maryland goes 3-1 tp finish 10-10 in conference. The NET likes Maryland a lot better than us. They are currently 36th. They would get in before us. Minnesota also goes 3-1 down the stretch to finish 9-10 in conference and 16-10 overall. They have a similar NET to us, a better conference record, and a better overall record. Is the committee really going to take a 13-13 or 14-13 IU squad as the 10th team from the B1G? Or, do they choose both Loyola and Drake, a currently 11-4 SMU squad, St. Louis and/or Richmond as at large choices from the A-10, a Duke team with a lower NET but a similar record to ours, a 16-17 win St. John's team, etc. I could go on and on finding at-large candidates that could get in ahead of us if we stumble to the finish line We need 2 of the las 4 regular season games to finish 9-9. Otherwise we will need 2 wins in the BTT, which we are certainly capable of. But, I don't want to have to count on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is that it is not really us against Maryland because the committee does not look at conference standings or don't look at how many teams a conference gets in.
