Our march thru B1G Tourney easier than I thought: Iowa, Md, NW/Minny

[Let 'er Fly]

Did I see that right? This would be much easier than other alternatives. We would not be big, if any, underdog against any of those teams. Would then get Boilers in final. Unlike what I thought the matchups would be yesterday at a 5% probability, I would put it at a 30% probability of going to the final. Team will play pissed off knowing that there will be a change. Boom!

 

[Harry Hondo]

Well, since the B1G is down this year I would expect the tourney to be easier. I still don't have faith we'll even get past Iowa. They've won four straight, so they have momentum coming in.

Yep it could be a big time weekend for a meaningless tourney. Big time.

Beating Iowa and Maryland back to back. lol.....

Yep and it was a down year last year and we lost the first game as a 1 seed.

I'd bet you there is a 0% chance we make the finals.

We're 3-8 over our last 11 games with 1 win on the road. Do you really think we can win more than 1 game in the tourney at a neutral site? We'll be lucky to get by the Hawkeyes.

This team couldn't make the finals if the tournament was played at Assembly Hall.

30% chance of going to the finals... hmm....... I'll have what he's having.

Make mine a double.

 

[Let 'er Fly]

OK. I now see that we would feed into Wisky for 2nd game. I'll reduce the chances back to 5%. Otherwise, we could have made history beeyotches...

 

[TR32]

Iowa still has a chance to nab a tourney spot. They are hot and are still getting better this season. I don't like IU's chances there.

 

[bailey777]

Make mine a double.

Double makers mark please.

 

[IUBBALLAWOL]

Did i miss the TC got fired announcement? Only way this team wins anything come tourney time. TC stands for Tournament Casualty.

 

[GeddyHoosier]

I think it would be most fitting if IU gets beat by Wisconsin in the BIG tourney. What better way to end the Crean era than with another loss to the team who has owned him his entire career?

 

[TDH81]

Have we ever done any good in it? No...

Nothing is easy for this team.

Nothing is easy for this team.

...except for turnovers and missed defensive responsibilities.

What time is the championship on Sunday? I better change my plans so I can watch IU cut down the nets.

 

[deadpurpledog]

We've been horrible. Still, Iowa and Wisconsin both beatable and I will not be surprised to see Indiana in the finals.. . . Especially if RJ keeps playing well and if Bryant begins playing like he wants to be a first round selection.

 

[hoosier_est_1984]

Sigh.....well, we've proven we could beat a number 1 team in the nation as long as its not on their court right? Sooooo obviously were the favorite

 

[deadpurpledog]

Many with this team have real motivation to show well in this tournament. . . We'll see.

I love IU, but sometimes surgery is necessary for the rest of the body. Tom Crean needs removed, and nothing better than a first round BTT loss to keep that idea fresh.

With IU's history in the Big Ten this is an embarrassment!

You will probably get your wish. Heck we cannot even with a btt game when we are the one seed.
