They have a shot, just like my Indiana Hoosiers, because of their conference record....
IU needs an upset of Mich St. at home, and beat NW at home, and even if they lose to Wiscy on the road, they end up 10-6 in the big 10, and i think that gives them a shot, even with a very mediocre record...
The first round game in the Big 10 tourney the 4-5 matchup would be Indiana/Minnesota, and it might very well be a matchup for the 4th team from the Big 10 to get in....
Indiana's overall record is not impressive, but their preconference schedule was the toughest around, and this team has gotten better as the season goes by, and these freshmen are really coming around......
AJ Ratliff, is playing with confidence now, and draining 3's from all over, and now that Bracey is back healthy, gives them a lethal outside combo, and DJ White on the inside is becoming a force, bringing back memories of Darryl Thompson, Uwe Blab, and Kent Benson....We havent had a really good big guy, in a long time, and this kid is just a freshman, and backed up by Patrick Ewing Jr...who is playing solid.....
Believe it or not, many publications will have IU picked to win the Big 10 next year, with these guys having a year under their belts and the transfers that are sitting out this year, being eligible next year....
