I know it doesn’t excite anyone at this point…

[gator mcCluskey]

…but after yesterday’s results and tonight I don’t see how IU doesn’t make it if you look at this objectively and keep the emotions out of it. Nobody has to like it, but I think it is what it is.

If IU gets in, how many games do you think they win?

 

[Al Bino]

One - at the most!

 

[Cavanagh]

Woody is the king of Dayton. Will go down undefeated.

 

[IUNorth]

If IU gets in, how many games do you think they win?

Depends on the draw…and then mainly depends on which of IUs multiple personalities shows up for the game, and how long it stays when it does.

So basically, who the hell knows. I do hope we get a chance to see it though.

Anyone know if humps travel?

 

[Hatchets7times]

As much as I sometimes want to just move on with it all .And I am looking forward to next year with good hire..
Seeing Indiana's name in as last four in. I thought ?
Hell yeah! I'll be watching and rooting even if it's in Dayton.
It's what us old Hoosier faithful do.

If they make it, I kinda do hope it’s in Dayton.

 

[jiouhyu]

Sounds like we need Memphis and VCU to win as these would be our last hopes in “earning” our way in and getting us over his hump, no? Come on Woody, pull us thru today!!!

 

[Chicago-bound Hoosier]

today is a very strange win/win. If we're in....we're in. Play ball, root for team.

if we're out....you've got the mic, Mr Dolson. What say you?

 

[IUgradman]

They could win the game in Dayton but beyond that I don’t see them advancing any further.

 

[IUHoosiers80]

play in games don’t count as making the tournament

 

[HoosierAlum07]

Just by the eye test, I can see the committee easily leaving us out! We are all basically ready for this season to be over with as I’m sure the players are ready to leave Btown for good! Is it football season yet???

I respect your posts but in this case I don’t see how the objective numbers work to get in except the expected ticket sale numbers in Dayton.

Who ya’ gonna put in ahead of them right now? A mid-major who didn’t win their conference with less or no Quad-1 wins? A UNC team with only one Quad-1 win?

Yeah the NCAA is not as competitive as the Big Ten.

 

[Cavanagh]

If they make it, that’s the only place they will be.

 

[hozo4ultimate]

They will probably win the Dayton game. Then a quality team exposes Leal and Goode... again.

 

[Cavanagh]

Oh I agree. I was saying if they make it, they are gonna have to go to Dayton. I think they win the first game too. We have shown we can beat bad teams. Undefeated in quad2-4. Just have almost no shot against the good ones unfortunately.

We capped our ceiling and floor, lots of IU fans thought that was a great move and happy for it.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Statistical wise they do

 

[CriticArisen]

Yeah the NCAA is not as competitive as the Big Ten.

We were a 9th seed in Big10 tournament and many claimed we would be a 10th seed in NCAA. It will probably be the usual Big10 swan dive in the tournament.

Ballo's comment about death threats gave me the impression that he had played his last game. That is something you say after everything is done. If the committee feels like I do, they are going to give the happy and well connected team a bid over a team that will lose the next game they play.

Yeah, we will lose the next game we play in whatever tournament that is. Remember the uninspired home NIT loss against Vandy?

I bet 10+ SEC and B1G make the sweet 16. I think they are far and away better this year than the rest. I don’t think Houston or duke makes the final 4

Do you think a Big10 team makes the FF?

 

[CriticArisen]

I will go with 6 SEC teams and 3 Big10 teams in Sweet 16.

This is pretty funny. Those two teams are the best in the country. Maybe they both won't make it, but one certainly will. I will also say not a single B1G team will see the elite 8. 2, at most, will make it past the first weekend.

Let’s bet!!! 100 on big ten making the final 4? 100 on duke not making it? 100 on Houston not making it? 3 or more big ten teams in sweet 16. Hell I’ll do 5 bucks. Bragging rights is more important

Scott Dolson, "Good Afternoon everyone, thanks for coming out today. It has been a very tough season, results not what we wanted. With that being said, I would like to introduce the next basketball coach for the Indiana Hoosiers, _________________________________________________"

(fill in the blank)

 

[Cavanagh]

Do you think a Big10 team makes the FF?

Yes. MSU or Badgers will.

 

[Lucy01]

I don’t look for Woodson to win 💩

 

[asindc]

Do you think a Big10 team makes the FF?

It wouldn’t surprise me if MSU or Wisky made the FF. It wouldn’t surprise me if Maryland made the EE. It wouldn’t surprise me if Michigan made the S16.

EDIT: It wouldn’t surprise me if Oregon made the S16.

 

[Cavanagh]

One of ucla or Oregon will make the sweet 16. 50/50 both make it.

Forgot about Oregon.

 

[GThomas]

The NCAAT is chaos, but I don't see a B1G FF team. The skill level and athleticism in the SEC and elsewhere is superior to the B1G as a whole, imo. Yes, B1G'ers have ripped off several impressive non-con victories, but this is March, not December ... and B1G ball hasn't translated to the NCAAT in forever.

But who knows? It's all speculation until the ball is tipped.

 

[bailey777]

Woody is the king of Dayton. Will go down undefeated.

He is going to cook.

Why would we not like it?

 

[zeke4ahs]

Most of the brackets have us in today. The best think going for us is all of our losses are Quad 1 losses. There aren’t many bubble teams that have that.

 

[zeke4ahs]

Thought what was a great move?

 

[Cavanagh]

We are going to Dayton. UNC or Texas needed to win yesterday. Conference tourney doesn’t matter that much. Unless things change this year, Committe trends tell us IN is going to Dayton.
