I hear ya. So this, to me, shows that IU should be in just like Texas. If they're giving Texas the bye, I think IU needs the bye as well.
I've given up trying to figure out why Lunardi thinks the way he does. His bracket is worse than his toupee.
Get a win and keep the Wisky game close, and I think we slide right into a 5 seed. For the dreaded 5-12 matchup.
I guess it all depends on matchups, but since the 6 is on the opposite side of the 1 seed I definitely think its better.
We're a 4 seed right now.
If we lose to you guys, we slide to the 5 line.
If we beat you, I think we stay on the 4 line.
If we win the B1G tourney, we probably rise to the 3 line.
Just never know what the committee with come up with. Do they look at injuries? A stat was posted that with a healthy Deron playing more than 5 minutes IU is 16-7. When he was hurt and played less than 5 minutes they were 1-7, 5 of those games he didn't even play. Should be an interesting next sunday.
I think they look at injuries but I'm not sure if it is more than who was out and when they returned vs who played limited minutes.
Indiana to me mostly likely has to win Thursday. That could be just enough.
It depends on how other bubble teams do.
Don't understand how some IU posters think IU is already in.
If I rooted for IU, I would want to win 2 to feel confident. I think if they lose on Thursday they’re out, if they win against OSU and then lose, it’ll come down to Selection Sunday.
Zavier Simpson and Nojel Eastern both named to The Athletic's All Glue Guy Team. Grady Eifert, Brad Davison, Kenny Goins and Darryl Morsell all named honorable mention.
This is the 5th year in a row Purdue has had someone on the 5 man team.

UNCG against Wofford tonight for one. I'd also look out for lower Big East teams and A-10 teams. Memphis playing in FedEx Forum could definitely make a run.
I think some think they could be in, like you said, depending on the other bubble teams. With this new quad system there's no precedent set, no script written. Any ologist is guessing right now.
Just think a Thursday win would give them 7 Q1 wins. No one else on the bubble but Texas gets even close to that.
Yeah, there is definitely a little more uncertainty this year. Based on the early Top 4 reveal, it looks like they put a lot of emphasis on the NET but who knows which components they'll consider most important. IU has great wins but also won just 36% of their Quad1/Quad 2 games. Belmont for example played in a lot less of them but went 5-3 against Quad 1/Quad 2 opponents.
This is what I'm worried about the most. Obviously we can control our own destiny by winning. If we don't, the bid thieves can steal our spot. I do think we're in right now. Could be me being hopeful or just seeing Texas being in at 16-15 right now and still in the tourney.
I am being bullish about them already being in, but I do think a win on Thursday is probably needed to keep it that way. Slim margin for error.
New system, 20 game conference schedule a lot of new factors.
Percentage means nothing though in my opinion its the total amount of wins. Belmont only playing 8 Quad 1/2 games is all that I need to see, especially with losses to Green Bay, Jacksonville State x2. IU has zero "bad" losses.
How does that compare to Purdue’s finalnfoir run this decade?
I agree your wins are more impressive but you also had a lot more opportunities for marquee wins. That's what I always struggle with. Mid-majors just don't get the opportunities for statement wins that middling majors do.
I'm sure I'd feel differently if we were on the bubble but I have always felt that if resumes are close, the nod should go to the mid-major. That may just be selfish though because I'd like to have as many opportunities for cinderella runs as possible because I think it makes for great theater.
