Some Indiana fans are convinced Brad Stevens is going to be the next coach because I'm sure he hates making so much money they won't tell us coaching possibly the best young nucleus of players with more high draft picks coming in at possibly the most prestigious NBA program in the country.

This is maybe the single most delusional thing a significant portion of any fanbase genuinely believes, it's the best

If you're gonna be completely stupid why set your sights so low? Maybe Greg Popovich is bored and wants to try college basketball. Phil Jackson could get fired, you should try to get him! Or perhaps The Ghost of Noted Indiana Native John Wooden. All of these are every bit as realistic as Brad Stevens deciding to leave the Celtics to take over the like 7th best team in the Big Ten

I mean, obviously Steve Alford will be the next Indiana coach. It was a long con and it worked quite well.

I would be so happy

Jordan Bohannon is only a freshman and is already the best Bohannon

Also Iowa in no way should be anywhere close to the NCAA tournament but I am like two games away from making a very stupid argument based around "quality wins"

With this bubble, I think if Iowa wins their next two, they are in a first four game. That would be 20-14 (11-9 vs B10) with wins AT Maryland, AT Wisconsin, vs Purdue, vs Iowa State, vs Michigan. One bad loss to Omaha, I don't really buy Memphis on a neutral as a "bad" loss, at least in the sense that phrase is usually used.

Tend to agree about Memphis but most of the good wins are also taken down a bit by the conference being trash. Like tonight was rad but Wisconsin is in a free fall. And the Omaha one is really really bad. I think they'd have to win at least a couple in the Big Ten Tournament (and win against Penn State which is very much not a gimmie with as bad as they can be at times). That it's an even faint possibility is ridiculious though, and I am super angry about the ending of the Minnesota game all over again now

10 seed Milwaukee went 4-14 in the Horizon League, but they have won their first two conference tournament games and have a halftime lead tonight in the semifinal game. Let's all root for the madness of the last place team getting the autobid!

Coached by an accomplice to Lickliter's attempted assasination of Iowa basketball, so hard pass on this

rutgers is a tough out lately, like they have one scorer and a bunch of dudes who just beat the poo poo out of everyone on the boards and I don't want a part of them tomorrow.

They played northwestern close but they're still pretty dang bad. They had a decent number of blowout losses later in the year, including getting absolutely carpet bombed by Iowa without Jok. OSU is really bad

Considering Iowa couldn't buy a jumper outside of Bohannon and Indiana couldn't miss from 3 for most of the half only being down 3 feels vaguely miraculous

I hate that IU dropped all the way to a goddamn 10 seed, they're super talented and really good when they can stay out of their own way

Well that loving sucked. Still this season was pretty much found money, and it was fun being on the bubble for a bit. Really excited for the next three years with this freshman class and the recruits we have coming in
