Indykev Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Lunardi still has IU as a 9 seed. We need to win out to get off of that 8-9 line. Playing a 1 seed in 2nd round wont be much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
13th&Jackson Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Lunardi dropped IU to a 10 and a last four bye. Has Rutgers as an 11 and also a last four bye. However, he just added UCLA as a 12, but doesn't have as either a last four bye or a last four in. Has Stanford & Cinci among last four in as 11 seeds.

I still say we need 2 more wins to be safely in. And with our past history in the BTT... let's just say we better win the next 2. Go Hoosiers!!!

I have a feeling this IU team is going to win a couple in the BTT. Of course it depends on matchups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 i know people say where you finish in the conference, but it's still hard for me to believe that if we finish 11th in the conference that we'll get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they don't actually look at conference affiliation at all according to people who went through the mock process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiana8585 Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Damn, Lunardi just put us as one of the last four byes. These next two home games are massive now because I can’t stand ESPN and their hatred of IU but he’s usually pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They actually do rankings of the bracketologist and Luardi is one of the lower ranked ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh nice thanks Scott that makes me feel better after I saw that pop up on my phone at work I was cussing (in my head). His disdain for IU is obvious each time we’ve made the tourney.

rogue3542 Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 There's a lot of lazy "bracketologists" out there. IU's NET ranking is dragging them down in this regard, but when it comes to the selection committee, team sheets, and overall resume, I'd think one more regular season win gets IU in. I'm assuming that IU doesn't lose to Nebraska or NW if they end up having to play on the opening day of the BTT. That said, I'm expecting IU to win their last two home games. I think they've got a good shot at making a run in the BTT if they can keep the level of play up. There are no unbeatable teams in the Big Ten this year.

It's interesting, because Palm has Tx Tech as a last four in 12 seed. Apparently not impressed with their #23 NET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 We will be.in the 7, 10 game and the winner gets Dayton, which means we might stay in the Midwest. My way too early prediction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia is still that highly thought of to get a 7 seed. I would take our bracket in a heart beat with playing W. Virginia and then playing Seton Hall if we win.
