you're funny going into last season had won 6 in a row and 6 of the last this season they split. the difference in last nights game
Michigan went 10-30 for 33.3%
Iowa went 1-16 for 6.3%
Michigan 40 rebounds Iowa 37 rebounds
Michigan 4 blocks Iowa 4 blocks
Michigan 7 TO's Iowa 11 TO's
Michigan 8-12 FT's Iowa 10-18 with most of them after the games was pretty much over

no the game was lost because of 3 point mades and nothing else.

Michigan 10-26 from 3 Minnesota 2-12 from 3

now the qyestion is can Michigan keep hitting as many 3's as they have been

live by the 3 and die by the 3 and right now Michigan is living by the 3

there was a post about how Iowa's offense came from 25% from the FTL

I have no idea what you are talking about with the 'won 6 in a row but this year split', and then youre spewing some cliched stuff you've heard about michigan being live by the 3 etc, when they have the #1 rated defense that completely dominated Iowa.
these are the results of the last 3 years between michigan and iowa:
UM 74 Iowa 53
Iowa 74 UM 59
UM 77 Iowa 71
UM 74 Iowa 59
UM 75 Iowa 68
Iowa 86 UM 83

I think that one HUUUUUUUUGE (and i mean YYYYUGE) win against michigan at home has lead you to delusions of grandeur about how good Iowa is.
THEY ARENT GOOD.

Don't do this to yourself. Highly unlikely.

Dude I’m good either way...just thinking it could happen

Thinking out loud really. The team doesn’t deserve it that’s for sure

 

[klize17]

I still don’t see it just looking at all the bracket projections, etc. Much lower than the 40-45% you give it anyway.

Same was said about Oklahoma last year that’s my point and they were easily in the field

Hope I'm wrong but I just don't see it.

Monkey see monkey do

here comes the IU fans. also the "I am a SENIOR member of this ONLINE FORUM" attitude is always hilarious.

RollLaughRollLaughRollLaughRollLaugh

those emojis are how a felt when 20-2 happened. Maybe archie should watch Beilein and take notes, monkey see monkey do is his only hope at staying employed.

 

[IUfanBorden]

I’d put it at like 5% chance

Actually, its 21%. IU is listed as in on 23 of the 110 brackets. TBH, their resume vs the rest of the bubble is very comparable. Which really stinks. IU is safely in had they beaten OSU. With that being said, I think the OSU loss ended their NCAA hopes. Probably a 1 or 2 seed in the NIT.

Yeah one win was needed for sure...maybe the committee will see some things different in IUs favor

Actually 13 of those 23 haven’t been updated as of today that are including IU.

If they have been updated since Thursday or Friday then that is good for IU. The game results have been in their favor

 

[otte21]

The ones that were updated as of today are 6/42 with IU in the field. 5 of them has iu as an 11 seed and one has them as a 12 seed. That doesn’t seem to be a positive trend for IU.

 

[IUfanBorden]

Just going by what I saw. Its irrelevant. I highly doubt IU gets in. Just pointing out that 23 brackets had IU in....On the flip side, that means 87 have them out. IU will get what they deserve. To me, thats the NIT. Needed to beat OSU. Do that, they would have been in.

Their resume stacks up vs those on the bubble. Very favorably TBH. But at the end of the day, the 1-2 stretch, and 15 losses IMO will be to much to overcome. Like I said...probably a 1 or 2 in the NIT.

But they don’t stack up that favorably with those on the bubble otherwise they’d be in the field though is my point. They have nice quad 1 wins but their overall resume isn’t that great even in comparison to the other teams on the bubble, or else these bracket projections would have them in the field.

But they do it just depends on what the committee will think is more important Quad 1 wins and 0 bad losses or a better Quad 2 record and a couple bad losses

Not necessarily...Heres how they stack up....

https://indiana.rivals.com/news/analysis-indiana-hoosiers-basketball-vs-the-rest-of-the-bubble

They have more Quad 1 wins then any on this list. SOS is strong via KenPom(14). Its not as bad as you think. There are 4 spots , for 10 teams, or so. Just b/c their resume is favorable to the others, doesn't mean they would be in. Just means they have a case.

Not arguing IU should be in. MOF, I don't think they should be. But when you are still considering 16-16 Texas, it does givesome hope. I mean this is the NCAA committee....So who the fvck knows what they do.

 

[otte21]

I just don’t see it. Their combined record vs quad 1 and 2 teams isn’t very good in comparison to the others, their net ranking is overall worse than the others, their Kenpom ranking is about par with the others, their SOS is really nice compared to the others but that’s factored into the KP rating. Their sheer number of wins lacks in comparison to others , their conference record is bad compared the other s. The only thing I see in their favor is amount of quad 1 wins, SOS rank, no bad losses, and slightly KP ranking.

I guess I just don’t buy the argument that their resume is favorable in comparison to others when all of these sites that try to predict what the committee will do is saying the opposite.

Literally what I have been saying. It’s why I think it’s possible they could get it because the committee will see those differently than the brecketology fellas.

I know that’s why I put it at 5% and not 40-45% lol

Holy shit. You had @MGC_07 and @SpartyRBS hook line and sinker. I even bit.

 

[klize17]

40-45 maybe a little high 5 maybe a little low...the not as good of an overall record can be explained by the SOS being so strong. Also makes the 0 bad losses look better.

Like I said I’m just thinking out loud on red wine. I don’t expect it but could see it happen

Blatantly obvious

Yeah realistically I’d go with the 6/42 that have updated by today so around 15% chance sounds right to me. I’m also thinking out loud on a couple of handfuls of beers FWIW. I will say that I’m a little worried about Purdue falling to a 4 seed now whereas I thought they were a lock for a 3 seed regardless of what they did in the BTT so we’ll so how that plays out.

Jesus, Otte. Its not my opinion. Its a fact. Look at the resumes. IU's is very comparable. At the end of the day, Indiana's 15 losses will keep them out. Not so much their ENTIRE resume. No bad losses....6 Quad 1 wins. Solid SOS numbers....Decent Net rating(53). A thru Z, IU's resume is very comparable to NC States....Temple's, etc, etc...Not better. Just comparable. Its highly, highly unlikely IU gets in. But its not totally out of the question either.

Like I have said---I don't expect IU to get in. I anticipate a 1/2 in the NIT.

You went from saying “favorable” to “comparable”. Big difference.

 

[klize17]

Oregon giving it to Washington doesn’t help the cause.

Iowa > Michigan

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

I think Michigan beats MSU today to deny the conference any possible 1 seeds, not that MSU was going to get one.

 

[blue_in_chicago]

More like 40-45

Not after Oregon took another at-large bid away.

 

[Deathclutch]

Is the beating over yet?

@Michigan 95-67 L
11-12
H 75-59 W
10-11
@ Michigan 87-73 L
H 75-72 OT L

not exactly total domination by Michigan but hopefully I made it simple enough for even you to understand.

Sounds like Ahrens is a no go for MSU today

Question for the IU guys.

If IU is snubbed by the NCAA and ends up in the NIT, do you think Romeo plays? If I was a lottery pick, I think I'd shut it down rather than risk millions for a tournament very few care about.

Yes he will play...I would not, but Romeo said he will

Don’t most guys at his level have some sort of insurance to cover a portion of this risk? I thought I heard something about this when Zion got hurt earlier this year. Like $8-$10M or something like that in case of injury resulting in an adverse impact on his draft position.

Happy Saint Patrick's day, Big Ten. Back when I was a high roller, my family spent an evening in a Mason City AmericInn. We made popcorn in the room microwave and watched Dubya light Iraq the eff up on Fox News. Circa March 2003. Beware the Ides.
