Indiana resume of 5-8 quad 1 record has been questioned as a 3 seed line.
Win over 31 NET at Home
Win over 32 NET at Home
Win over 33 NET at Home
Technically quad 2 wins, but the 3 highest possible quad 2 wins.
These all were Quad 1 when happened & could become again soon
To all of our followers- we say thanks Without each of you our group does not grow to what it’s
Please stay safe and take care of each other.
You all are number 1 seeds to us!
See you next year!
Purdue’s Matt Painter talks about the need to manage talent. “Success is not just talent but the production of that talent”
Painter is really good with the media.
For our local followers
Indiana 9/10 seed-
6 quad 1 wins driving their resume. No losses out of top 50.
Purdue- out
4-11 quad 1 & 9-13 quads 1/2. Bad loss at Nebraska & 4-10 away from home holding the Boilers back.
Butler- 6 seed. Could be a 5
Indiana makes a push to go dancing. Will be comparing their resume with teams in but at the back end of the bracket.
They are in better shape than they were yesterday. Not locked in yet
Indiana fans part two
It’s not just Indiana to look at. It’s not just recent results
Compare to bubble teams that would replace IU
We have 14 teams we are watching as possible bids
Only 3 have zero quad 3 or 4 losses
None have more quad 1/2 wins. 2 have 9 wins
Been a long fun week. Update on our totals
66/68 selected
43 - seed correct
22- 1 seed line off.
Had UNC a 10 and they were an 8
Wish we seeded better but a good experience. Thanks to all who follow. Stay tuned to tourney info all March

Studying Kentucky vs Tennessee for last 1 seed
Kentucky 7 top 25 NET wins
Tennessee has 2
Kentucky non conf SOS 25
Tennessee 113
Kentucky 8-3 quad 1
Tennessee 4-2
Kentucky has 4 losses
Tennessee 2
Kentucky ahead in NET & KenPom ranking
If you are not local and want to make a road trip to a great basketball environment make a trip to Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, IN. It is worth the cost.
New NET rankings out today. Indiana now has 4 quad 1 wins and zero losses outside quad 1. Resume to date is tourney worthy. Their play questionable. Probabaly a 7/8 if season ended today. One win and things will look better
@AssemblyCall
Indiana fans.
Positives of resume
Quality wins -3 top 15
No losses to teams over 45 NET
9 quad 1/2 wins all vs top 60 wins
Other metrics 26, 39, 39, 35
SOS 47/75- played 3 sub 200 teams
Negatives 4-8 away from home
Road performances - scoring margin
Dont be surprised at anything that happens tomorrow. Been doing this 5 years and this year is the craziest its ever been. Simply no telling where this ends up on the last 4 in. I bet we miss 2-3 at best due to the mess
in 3 years of we have gone
2016- 66/68
2017- 68/68
2018- 66/68
200/204...
2019- hope for similar numbers but this year is toughest.
Criteria: wins/ quality of wins/ loss avoidance/SOS
Sticking with that this year
Our last 6 in--- any order you want
VCU
SMU
Oklahoma
Indiana
Michigan
Xavier
Rutgers out
Notre Dame out
Several in our group say Rutgers in-- so who falls out---
Here is our thoughts for you Purdue fans
Purdue has best resume overall with all data points
UConn- has quantity wins and conf championship
It is extremely close... would understand either selection
Thanks to all of our followers. Just went over 2500 in just our 4th year. Without all of your interest this would not be possible.
Hope your team makes the dance.

12 teams for 6 spots
Few other teams with outside shot
Seed list as of this mornings meeting. We decided to put the mid majors in for now. Our group was split on whether 1,2 or none of the mid majors should get in. We went with 2 at this time. That is bound to change
Based on nitty gritty report Indiana is one of only 17 teams with 2 or more quad 1 wins at this point. Good news for Hoosiers
@AssemblyCall
. They also have 2 quad 2 wins. They have 11th best NET of those teams. Without much study looks like a 4-6 seed now
Here are teams with resumes that in normal years would be out by a lot... but this year is weird.... still think these are long shots
Indiana
Creighton
Clemson
Xavier
Texas
Thanks out to our students & staff for participating this year despite Covid restrictions that limited our usual activities. Then we top our beat score by 12 points. The process is so awesome.

Braden Smith- Frosh Purdue 6-0 point guard can play. Shoots from deep, can find ways to score in the lane. Scrappy on defense. You love him if your are a Boiler, you will come to despise him if you root for anyone else in the BIG 10
Here is our interview question for Coach Painter & his response after they fouled Maryland up 3 in December. Solid answer. Purdue fans you have a good coach here.
Sorry about lack of activity today. Our sponsor
@Soni42
& main tweet guy was busy being an assistant coach. His HS team Western won the sectional tonight. He will be back to work tomorrow with new seeds.
The NCAA committee chair said in an interview that they have seeded lines 1-9 and scrubbed them 2 times. They are set minus some outlier.
Also said down to last 6 teams for selection. We are trying to identify them
If Texas is in , then Indiana should be in... If both have too many losses and are out we can understand that as well. Both of those teams resume's are really close.

Keep an eye on Providence. They probably need to beat Villanova and the NET needs to improve into the 60's to have a shot. Have solid quad 1/2 numbers. 5th team out for us at moment
