Drroogh Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 I’m almost sorry the basketball being played was so sorry I turned it off. I think I would’ve enjoyed another Kalipretender failure! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev_AK Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 A thought occurred to me about the impact of the NIL rules- it essentially leveled the playing field versus whatever Cal used to do to get the top recruits. One reason we are seeing so much parity in this tournament is because the top talent is being spread around more. Cal was always more of a recruiter than a coach. It’s fun to watch them implode. Now, if IU can just win tonight, it would give us something we haven’t had against all of our rivals in either end of the state for a long while- bragging rights 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SawatchHoosier Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 The amount of ankle sprains so far in the tournament has been terrible. I can't help thinking that the slick floors they're using is contributing to this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the NCAA tournament process quit well and have followed it for years.

It became a copy cap league…Wisconsin started having success with that and Purdue was only too happy to also to play that game. Adding Penn St and Rutgers over the years who saw the only way to compete was to muck it up didn’t help. Michigan St has always been that physical team…but come March it really is not a recipe for a lot of success. You need some good matchups for that style and Wisconsin has made a couple runs…but most of B1Gs best teams over the past decade or two Illinois, Ohio St, Michigan, Indiana have had a very up tempo or balanced approach. Heck Purdues best team came from an up tempo (for them) point guard and sharpe shooting two and athletic wing. We just have suffered from not having those elite/athletic guards…those that can make those dangerous runs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather see a shot clock violation than take a bad shot and have the opposition start a transition fast break. At least with the shot clock violation, they have to take it out of bounds and you have a chance to set up your defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 21 minutes ago, BGleas said: They are not the result of conference affiliation, except for how the teams you play make up your team sheet. The committee doesn't even really look at the NET, they look at your team sheet and what details are on the sheet. Conference affiliation is not part of that on the surface level. They aren't looking at two teams and say, "well, team A's conference did really well in the tournament last year and Team B's didn't, so let's give Team A a 5 seed and Team B a 9 seed" It just doesn't work that way. These are essentially blind sheets in terms of the conference affiliation until they get to the point of ensuring conference teams aren't matched up in the first two rounds. At the end of the day, the Big Ten's performance this year will have absolutely nothing to do with where IU is seeded next year, assuming we make it. Edit: As was mentioned by our Illini friend, Xavier had 9 Quad 1 wins vs Memphis with 4. That's a massive difference. 21 minutes ago, BruceDouglas said: 9 Q1 wins vs 4 is a huge difference.

You can keep bouncing around to different metrics and different teams, but the bottom line is that the committee is not taking conference tournament performance into consideration whatsoever. Literally it's not a consideration at all. They also aren't looking at conference affiliation in terms of seeding, other then to ensure conference teams aren't playing each other. The way conference affiliation comes into play is that the teams in your conference go a long way in terms of building your team sheet. How many Quad 1 wins you had, your SOS, etc. But, it's not like IU's sheet is stamped with a "Big 10" on it and then IU is getting docked because of some conspiracy theory or because Purdue has gotten upset the last 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
