5fouls Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 I think as long as we can stay above .500, with our schedule, we'll be in. And, actually, with the while tournament being played in the state, I think that gives us an edge if we are on the bubble.

If "she's" walking toward you, im pretty sure "she" is one of the bodybuilding "girls" that were on display a few days ago.

Another thing to remember is there is an extra at large bid this years since the Ivy League is not playing this year.
NCHoosier32 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 I will be happy, not satisfied, but happy if we make the tourney. If we finish above .500 overall I will be a little surprised. That's saying we'll win 6 more conference games. Isn't there a site that has predictors for each game? I don't know how to find that, but I'm thinking the 6 most likely: at NW, at Purdue, vs Rutgers, at MSU, vs. MSU, and at Rutgers? Man, I'll be pleasantly surprised if we win ALL of those! Maybe say we're more likely to beat Illinois or MN at home than 2 of those?

He leaves out the MSU game that was postponed so assumes it is cancelled instead. Wins are home games vs. Rutger, MN, MSU and @ NW

I don't even think I'd be too disappointed with that. I'm worried we won't get that many.
IowaHoosierFan Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 I think we peel off 12 in a row
5fouls Posted January 20, 2021 Report Posted January 20, 2021 It's going to require 16 wins. I just don't see a path where 15 gets us in. We're either 15-13 with a loss in the first round of the BTT, or 15-14 with a 1-1 finish in the BTT. One is an early flameout in the conference tournament in a conference where there are a lot of teams jostling for a limited number of spots. The other is finishing just one game above .500, which is a tough sell for an at large regardless of the circumstances. So, look at the remaining schedule and find 8 more wins. If you can't, we'll have to wait until next year.

southsidehoosier Posted January 26, 2021 Report Posted January 26, 2021 Bracket Watch 1-25-21: Currently a 10 seed according to Bracket Matrix. We are projected in 69/77 bracket so far

If you can't, we'll have to wait until next year. This is about how I see it as well — now we only need 7 more wins to get to 16. 16-13 (10-10 conference record with one win in the BTT) gets us in. If the committee decides to show us a little favoritism because the tournament is in Indiana, I could maybe see 15-14 (9-11 conference record with one win in the BTT) getting us in as well, but that will be dicey. 16 looks like the magic number. 7 more wins should be easily doable, but we’ll see if they can put it together. Pretty sad state of affairs that this is the position we’re in in Year 4.

KoB2011 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Posted January 26, 2021 I'll be pretty surprised if we don't make it. Areas that we show out strongly: Computer metrics Road record Non-conference SOS Quality of wins and losses Obviously the last stretch of the season is going to be an impact, but if that continues to play out like the first two months of the season has we should be in good shape.
iuthruandthru Posted January 26, 2021 Report Posted January 26, 2021 Before I make a prediction I need to know if anyone from Iowa in any way has a say in IU making the tournament.
