Getting worried…

[trailrunner]

Fouls are called differently in tournament than in our conference. Got to be careful in first game

 

[Crayfish57]

Dayton is a lot easier for us than about 99% of the country at least

UCLA is as good as any of the 1 seeds. They’ve had injuries, but are healthy now.

Im not sure if they are as good as they were last year. Let’s just play the first two.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

I mean the whole arena will be red. It’s like a home game.

 

[Hatchets7times]

Other than 3 games, it’s not a terrible draw. Wyoming, St Marys and UCLA, could have been worse road to 2nd weekend

I've watched those west coast teams..
Indiana can win those.
U.C.L.A. probably causes problems...

 

[trailrunner]

so, where and when is the game?

It looks like 6:00pm Tuesday

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Wonder if TV money played a role in this??? Dream scenario for TV people having IU as a play in team.

It will suddenly make the play in a "thing" for the first time ever but that is not why it happened.

??? They returned basically their entire team and added a 5 star freshman, Miles Johnson, and got their big back that was injured for the tourney last year.

Juzang has been injured for a bit. He’s getting back to 100 percent.

So why even have these ****en conf tourneys? Just to allow some cupcakes an auto bid so they can get drilled by 50 vs Gonzaga? And of course…generate revenue.

T-shirt and hat sales.........

I’m hopeful. I’m also sarcastic.

It'll be the later game which will probably be about 8:30. They always have the 16 versus 16 matchup first, around 6:00 p.m.

 

[Stuffshot]

We can beat Wyoming and St Mary’s

Yes and those games would be on March 15 and 17, followed hopefully by a third game on March 19 against either UCLA or Akron.

I glad we're in, but that's three games in five days. Play-in games are no bargain.

Have to hope Juzang has a bad shooting night. Need to contain Jaquez Jr who is really versatile and physical who can carry them. In short, a well coached, talented team. IF we get the chance to play them we have to bring our A game.

It looks like 6:00pm Tuesday

ESPN says IU plays on March 15/Tuesday at 9:10 pm.

Thanks

Congrats, Hoosiers! I am sure the wait to see your name was stressful. I think you will take down Wyoming if you play like you did in the B1G tournament. UCLA will be a tough assignment if they really are getting healthy but not unbeatable. I hope the B1G does better this year than last. Avoiding Dayton would have been better, but this is infinitely better than being NIT.

have to hope for 2 things-
1. we beat WY and St M first
2. Kopp and PS find their shot. Can't keep playing 3 on 5 on offense.

Very interested to see how B1G teams adjust to the way games are called. The B1G tourney was called like a rugby match

 

[dbmhoosier]

Conference records clearly matter despite what the committee says.

 

[IND22]

Of course they don't mean anything.

The Big Ten Tournament ended about 5:45 and the NCAA started announcing teams at 6:01.

No way there was time for the selection committee to consider the last tournament games.

Of course there was!
