Can certainly see Duke and IU together as the 4/5 though! If they want us to play Kentucky, and you know they do, they would have to move us to a 3. Crazier things have happened.

tdhoosier Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 I’ll take a 5 over a 4 if that mean we’ll be in the south region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyhoosier29 Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 Speaking of NET or KenPom, some of the teams higher than us make me giggle. There are 9-10 teams above us in NET that are just ridiculous……Fla Atlantic, UK, Arkansas, Iowa St, West Va, Boise St, Creighton to name most of them. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think we should be any higher than 20, but these teams being higher are a joke IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not as concerned about seeding as I am the location and path. Yes, you have to beat good teams at some point regardless but I wouldn't be shocked to see some historically relevant rivalries awaiting in round 2. I have heard from to many people that they don't have the time to come up with these TV matchups everyone always talks about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfathomable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Hoosier Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 If we were the top 5 seed would we get our preferred region (South) or does that only apply to the 1-4 seeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final two 4 seeds will come from among Indiana, Xavier, Tennessee, Texas A&M, and TCU. We have the worst NET among those 5 teams. I just can't see a path to the 4. Lunardi still has us as a 4 seed in south region and has us ahead of duke 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94hoosier Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 To me it doesn’t matter if we are a 4 or 5. The matchups are more important with the region being next thing to consider. Would be nice to make it to second week and be in Louisville.

Some of you are talking about yesterday’s result….. the committee guy that spoke prior to our game said they already had the 1-8 seeding completed. Yesterday meant nothing for us or Duke. This! Why is everyone forgetting that the committee has consistently shown that things are almost always already done before yesterday's results. Yesterday's game had very little, if probably even zero impact on our seed. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the last game or the last 5 games. The fact they had us as 4 In mid February. We still have a chance to be 4. They might have moved us down. But that would have happened before Saturday’s game and maybe even before Friday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted March 12, 2023 Report Share Posted March 12, 2023 2 hours ago, 5fouls said: I will guaranty you that it meant something for Duke. I outlined it above. They had a spot on the 4 line dedicated to the ACC, and a spot on the 5 line Dedicated to the ACC. Winner gets the 4 and loser gets the 5. There is no way Virginia gets a higher side than Duke, especially considering that Duke got screwed out of a win against Virginia in the regular season. They don't look at conference affiliation. It's not like they outline how many teams from each conference are getting in and pre-slot the conference spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like they outline how many teams from each conference are getting in and pre-slot the conference spots. They absolutely have to in order to avoid early round matchups. If they didn't start the week thinking, "OK, we have Miami, Virginia, and Miami that seem to belong on the 4-6 line. Let's designate one ACC spot on each line before the ACC tourney and place the teams after the conference tournament games are played", then they have wasted a great opportunity.
