Guaranteed for the NIT so....
I wasn't responding for him. I was answering for me. Must you be so, I mean, technical about such little, minute, meaningless things? Its a basketball board. Where fans make fun of other teams/fans. its not like the wheel just got invented.I asked the guy trolling Iowa a simple question. It was your choice to try and respond for him.
It always makes sense to make fun of Iowa.Still doesn’t make sense for an Indiana fan to be making fun of Iowa’s season IMO.
First four out by whom. Lunardi and Palm are terrible so I wouldn't use them for guidance. But even if they are first four, that is before any potential bid stealers step in. And wins over Rutgers and OSU or Minnesota aren't exactly moving the needle.Weak bubble. This team is currently First four out. I cannot really dosagree with most of what you said. But I do think if this team beats Rutgers on Saturday, that their chances of making the NCAAT will be better than 5%.

You are definitely trending well and it wouldn't surprise me if IU dances. But if we were in your shoes, I wouldn't feel comfortable unless we were playing next Saturday.
15 losses is a ton for an at-large. 16 would be NIT for sure. Better not lose to Buttgers.
20 conference games with zero bad losses and a lot of good wins will do that
Need to give this post a thousand likes.It always makes sense to make fun of Iowa.
A lot of people are using Oklahoma last year as a benchmark but that team was 18-13 with 5 KenPom top 25 wins and only one loss outside of KenPom top 60 (Note - it will be nice when we have historical NET team sheets to reference). IU is at 4 KenPom top 25 ins and three losses outside of KenPom top 60.15 losses is a ton for an at-large. 16 would be NIT for sure. Better not lose to Buttgers.
Who said that? Jesus dude....You sound like some 6 year old...."But, but mom.....she did it first". Man I try so hard to like you. I mean I feel like you are a good dude. But god damn.....You nit pick the shit out of everything. So what IU sucks. So what that a IU fan made fun of Iowa's once again late season spiral. I mean would it have anymore validity had it been a "Duke fan"? Why not just join in on the fun, instead of playing hall monitor?But when I make fun of the Indiana fan it’s crossing the line?
Lunardi and Palm are terrible? Ok.First four out by whom. Lunardi and Palm are terrible so I wouldn't use them for guidance. But even if they are first four, that is before any potential bid stealers step in. And wins over Rutgers and OSU or Minnesota aren't exactly moving the needle.

Check out bracketmatrix.com they have a comprehensive list of all brackets and rank them on how accurate they are from year to year. Lunardi and Palm are usually pretty low.Lunardi and Palm are terrible? Ok.
Anyways....Never said I felt comfortable. BUT.....IF IU wins Saturday, then wins opener of BTT, I would feel really comfortable. Its been a weak bubble all year.
BTW, out of curiosity....Who would you lean toward for guidance if not Lunardi? Just curious. Maybe I am missing something, but always felt Lunardi was pretty spot on.
I was thinking the same thing.You’re setting youself up.
Lmaoooo
That Oklahoma team again is considered in. Their resume isn't any better than that of Indiana. Anways....Its just good to be able to have this discussion. I think right now, IU's a team I wouldn't want to see in the BTT. Healthy...confident, and playing well.A lot of people are using Oklahoma last year as a benchmark but that team was 18-13 with 5 KenPom top 25 wins and only one loss outside of KenPom top 60 (Note - it will be nice when we have historical NET team sheets to reference).

And last year was a weak bubble too.
I was here posting during & after the Minny loss.I mean...not bad
Nice to see you show back up after beating absent for a couple of days.
aT lEasT wE hAve BAnNerSYou’re setting youself up, but I applaud the photoshop.
I will. Always thought Lunardi was pretty spot on with who got in.Check out bracketmatrix.com they have a comprehensive list of all brackets and rank them on how accurate they are from year to year. Lunardi and Palm are usually pretty low.
I don’t do many things that take a lot of effort, including this.Trying too hard

Congrats on the win Minny. You’re welcome MSU/UM!
Well well well. Just gotta make it interesting. Just win Saturday.
Michigan. Would rather play a banged up MSU.
Nope but this is called lying
Really? Coming from the guy who keeps major tabs on who is “triggered” or “rustled”? You literally treat this board as some weird troll competition.You say this all the time...you take this way more serious than anyone else on this board
