B1G Thread

If IU beats Nebraska in their first game of the B1G tournament, they are going to get in. With that said, I hope they lose.

Nope. They need 2 wins. 9-11 and Nebraska in the conference ain’t gonna do it.

They do not need two wins. And conference record is irrelevant.

 

[SJ76]

Right now I’m hearing Rutgers as 1 of the last 4 in. And they’ve won 20 games with 11-9 In the conference. Indiana has some good wins but they will need more than a Nebraska win to get in.

Conference record under .500 is not what the committee wants in a tourney team. It’s always been like that

lmao at a Nebraska win puts Indiana in. That is some funny shit

That's interesting because my team made the tournament with an under .500 record in B1G play. And they aren't the only team. There are a ton of examples.

Not many do unless they have some bad ass Ws during the season. At 2-8 on the road with wins against Minnesota and Nebraska the committee ain’t impressed.

like I said, Rutgers is projected right now as 1 of the last 4 in. Indiana needs more than a W over the Cornhuskers without a doubt. Getting to 20 wins is nice but the below .500 conference record and shitty road record will hurt them. Could happen you never know but I doubt it

Yes, actually there are alot of teams that do. Just last year, Minnesota, Oklahoma, St John's, and Ohio State were all under .500 in conference play. Oklahoma and Ohio State were 4 games under .500 in conference play and both made it easily.

IU just needs to avoid a bad loss. IU has beaten MSU, OSU, PSU, Iowa and FSU. Also, they've beaten UConn and ND on neutral court.

More like a few teams get in not a lot and definitely not the majority. If Rutgers is last 4 to get in not sure how IU is already in. They haven’t been ranked at all I believe.
IMO the committee’s staples for qualifying are overall record, conference record, road record, big wins, bad losses, and WHO gets hot down the stretch. Indiana is a very bland team that needs 2 wins to seal it. 1 win it’s close and depends a lot on other teams. Plus the committee just hardly never puts 10 in

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Currently bracket matrix has Indiana in. Last six or so
Likely need another win to feel safe

 

[SJ76]

Bradley and Utah St just made it harder for some at-large bids. UNI get in?

I don’t think UNI does.

 

[SJ76]

I don’t think UNI does.

Boys on CBS just addressed the mid majors vs majors conference record under .500 and specifically called out Archie Miller.

get yer popcorn ready love me some March

 

[SJ76]

How many games does SDSU lose in the Big 10? 8? Dayton?

 

[kburjr]

With Maryland beating Michigan, Wisconsin clinches #1 seed in the B1G Tourney

The year before Texas, Texas A&M, FSU, Alabama, OU, Syracuse and ASU all did. So that's 10 teams in the last two seasons.

So why did you say this earlier?

Theres reslly not enough bid stealers left to knock Indiana out as long as they beat Neb

Youd need probably 4 or 5 bids stolen imo

Its possible but unlikely.

Putdue is thr interrsting one to me. Great metrics and theyre going to get a reeling PSU on Thursday. If they win that i think 1 more W makes stuff really interesting

Purdue at 18-15 could sneak in. They definitely have to beat PSU though

Are the seeds from that standpoint locked in?
