Sooo fun to be looking at our schedule and trying to find realistic, believable paths to the NCAAs. But, yet again, here we are...

Current Resume
Overall Record 14-8
B10 Record 5-6 (Supposedly this one doesn't really matter)
Road Record 2-4
Neutral Record 1-2
Quad 1 2-8
Quad 2 3-0
Quad 3 5-0
Quad 4 4-0
Current NET 65

The good news, it looks like out of the remaining 9 games, its possible 7 of them will be Quad 1 games. This is a realistic path, I could see happening with this team. Woodson has shown an ability to close the season fairly well, and we've shown glimpses of solid overall play.

At Wisky, Quad 1, Loss
Michigan, Quad 1, Win
at MSU, Quad 1, Loss
UCLA, Quad 1/2, Win
Purdue, Quad 1, Win
PSU, Quad 2, Win
at Wash, Quad 2, Win
at Oregon, Quad 1, Loss
OSU, Quad 1/2, Win

The Quad 1 road games we have remaining, I honestly think we could get blown out in in all of them. And that will hurt our NET, and our overall chances. But none of the rest of the games "scare" me in any way. And i could easily see us going 6-3, like above.

That would make our resume

Overall Record (20-11)
B10 Record (11-9)
Road 3-7
Neut 1-2
Q1 6-11
Q2 5-0
Q3 5-0
Q4 4-0
NET guess, mid to upper 40's.

I think that gets us in around the 9/10 seed line.

watch ucla they had a slow start but are playing now and have a coach, Michigan hard telling what Woodson will come up with to defend them with the 2 7 footers, could have Ballo out chasing wolf on the perimeter

Ballo will not be guarding Wolf. Reneau, Mack. Possibly Goode, Tucker.

You play like you did at Purdue and it’s definitely possible - not sure about Michigan so you need another one - Oregon maybe

first we'd have to finish 5-0 at home beating several ranked teams.
And then we'd get a tourney seed where we'd be the dog in the first game, and if by chance we win....heading towards a 20+ pt thumping by the likes of Duke in round 2. And from all that...CMW gets another year.

Yippie.

I don't think we beat PU at home. They were expecting an easy W and we put a scare into them at Mackey. They will not take us for granted at AH.

Awesome analysis. Intelligent. Objective.

And completely doable if we stay healthy and committed.

Lose any arrogance.
How can that still exist anyway with this program currently? Team and fans?

Highly paid players, staff and this fan base should get humble and get to work.

No home losses.
Win everything against the middle to the bottom of the league.

Tonight’s game =27 years of futility.
Make that go away.
Step one.

Why not see the result described above?

Now let’s just go do it.
 
I can’t see this team making the tourney. But if it does, I bet it would start in Dayton……once again.

Pure conjecture. IU lost at Nebraska and Nebraska is tied for 13th in the league. IU hasn't beaten anyone in the top 7 and as of now their best wins are against OSU and USC, or to put it another way, Indiana hasn't beaten a power conference team above 0.500.

You can look at all the past years with mediocre records, and most of them had a few good wins by February 3rd.

The way I see it, Indiana hasn't proven they can beat even a single tourney bound team. And it's sad as hell.

I guess you never know how bad the 4th place team in the AAC is when it comes to picking teams for the tourney right? Oh shoot, that's Tulane....led by Kaleb Banks with 18 and 7 per game.

Well maybe IU has a chance vs the 3rd best Missouri Valley team.
