Sapperin LA Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 OK, we all have theories on what it will take for our Hoosiers to make "The Dance". My question is, when we beat Illinois, Rutgers and then win the BIG tournament, where would IU be seeded? With the horrible stretch we had, I think 7 or 8 might be our ceiling, what say you?
milehiiu Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 Seeding IMHO, really depends upon how many total wins IU ends up with. Love your positivity.
Zlinedavid Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 If we won the BTT, I'd also guess a 7 or 8.
NotIThatLives Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 Winning out. With 2-3 more real good wins. As high as 5. Gotta remember we were ranked around 17 before all the injuries piled up.

5fouls Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 I would actually be thrilled with a 12. The probable 4 and 5 seeds don't scare me at all. Easiest route for us to Sweet 16. We are not beating a 1, so I do not want to be on 8/9 line.

iu2win Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 The best thing for this IU team may be one in which they make the dance and have an opportunity to win a big game and steal the spot of a #3 or #4 seed.

We are probably better off winning 1 or 2 games in the BTT than we are winning it. We win it, or even make the final and we are on the 8/9 line. Mark it down.
CincyHoosier Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 If, big if, we win it I think we end up a 7 seed.
KoB2011 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 So in this scenario, we end up 21-14 with what would likely be 10+ quad 1 wins and still no quad 3 or 4 losses..... honestly probably a 7.

I find that likely. It's not out of the realm of possibility given the committee making the logistics work (lol?), margin of victory, strength of opponents, and so on the seed could be pushed a little higher. Next up! Anyone know any good puns with the Rutgers roster?
