Well, maybe it wasn’t updated. 

Bumped up to a 31.9% of getting in this morning.

- 37.7% with one win in BTT.

- 65% with 2 wins in BTT.

- 89.9% with 3 wins in BTT.

I think these percentages are more optimistic than reality, but it’s still fun to look at and have some hope. One game at a time!

In contrast to this, with a run to the BTT final, Torvik's sim has us as the 8th team out of the tournament.

Safe to say we probably need to win the BTT to get in, but I feel like we'd have to at least be considered if we get to the BTT final. I think the NET is overvalued. MSU should not be in if we're not even in the discussion.

On a more positive note compared to my last post, hearing he really enjoyed his visit yesterday. Like I said, I believe Braylon wants to go to IU. I was probably too doom and gloom in the moment saying I'd be "very surprised" if he comes with Woodson as the Head Coach (even though that’s basically how it was described to me). I still feel if we continue to put the proper work I believe we will have a strong chance regardless, but I do think this recruitment will be more difficult than I thought it would be a couple months ago with our recent struggles and overall negativity that we're all aware of surrounding the program. Bottom line is, this staff should be able to land him with how much he likes IU, which has been the case for a while.

Pretty great draw overall, IMO.

4 in a row! Playing our best ball at the right time!

Leggo!

What a start!

Go Hoosiers!

This is incorrect man. High school recruiting is still important and more than half of the equation for roster construction. 

And this is just a flat out horrible look for IU.

Woodson is a train wreck. He’s not the worst basketball coach in the country, but he is the worst at running a program. The level of apathy that this fanbase will be at if he gets a fourth year will be truly depressing. Our administration is lost if they can’t realize this. I can’t describe the level of frustration I have regarding the current state of the program. His comments in the media are making it so much more obvious he is not the guy, and if what Rabjohns and others are saying is true, he is lazy and not fully committed to being the Head Coach at Indiana. Hopefully we do the right thing.

Sorry if you can't see it. It's pretty easy....but thanks for calling me dumb twice. If you can't see the move by Kansas and Self....you certainly couldn't understand why Sampson had Gordon wait to decommit from Illinois until the very end so that Bubbles couldn't make up ground and get E'twaun back. 

Again. Sucks for IU but it's pretty simple to see the maneuver.

A competent staff does not let this happen. We are a dumpster fire. Year 4 will absolutely be the worst of the Woodson era if he is retained. I was going to accept the fact that he’s getting another year and hope for the best.. this is the final straw for me. I have no idea how he turns this around. Liam will not be the only one to jump ship. I know you think highly of Trilly - he thinks that Reneau and Galloway are gone. I wish that things worked out, but we need to make a move. Badly.

I realize this is incredibly unlikely. But here is what Team Rankings gives our updated chances of making the tournament after Minny. What's interesting is they think 20 wins gives us a 72% chance. If you beat MSU and win 2 in the B1G tourney that's 20.. I personally think we probably have to at least make it to the B1G final to have a real chance without an auto-bid, which we'd be at 21 if we lost there.. Let's get some March magic.

3 in a row!!

and Ware

That one would shock me. Would be great though.

We need another year of Mgbako.

Well we haven’t had Malik basically the whole half and we’re up. I like our chances if we limit turnovers and are engaged defensively. Minny is not good.

Keep this up!

Dusty to OSU would suck. I'm not so sure that if he has success at OSU he'd leave to come here.

I wouldn't mind him taking another job to see how he does somewhere that's a step up from FAU, but I think OSU is a good enough job to the point where we may not be able to poach him in the future.

That was posted on Trilly yesterday, right? Sorry just keeping everything straight. 

Yep.
