Interested to see what illanoy does this week. They have 3 relatively easy games in a row starting tonight with nebby.
 
What are peoples' thoughts on Purdue and Minnesota? I see a lot of commentary that because of their overall records, they aren't in consideration. However, what if each were to make the BTT a game over .500 and go 1-1? Here is approximately what those resumes would look like:

Minnesota:
17-15 (10-10; 1-1 BTT)
Quality wins: @ Ohio St., vs Ohio St., vs Michigan, vs Penn St., vs Wisconsin
(and hypothetically 2 of these three vs Maryland, @ Wisconsin, @ Indiana)
If they were to win the 8/9 game (in my scenario lets say that's Michigan) and lose to Maryland.

Purdue:
17-16 (9-11; 1-1 BTT)
Quality wins: vs Michigan St., vs Iowa, vs Wisconsin, @ Indiana, vs Virginia
(and hypothetically 2 of these three @ Iowa, vs Rutgers, vs Indiana)
If they were to win the 7/10 game (in my scenario lets say that's Ohio St.) and lose to Illinois.

In our out?

I would hope both of those resumes would be out to be honest. Minnesota’s NET is such BS the way it is.

Great question but I think in both cases the records are just not good enough. They both have some really quality wins on the table but you have to do more.

To clarifying, are you not even going to consider those resumes, or you think that is worse than the 35th and 36th other at large resume?

Could they and should they be considered, absolutely. They have so many quad 1 wins, way more than other schools. However, I think there has to be something said for having a solid record. Being 1 or 2 games over .500 would really bother me.

Ditto. Give me an ETSU or UNI over a 15 loss power 6 team. Far weaker schedules sure but teams know how to win or they don’t. You lose 15 games, you’ve proven you just can’t cut it against better teams.

This would be a really interesting topic to ask coaches about anonymously in the offseason.

How would you feel about a minimum win % to be considered for an at large bid? How would that affect your scheduling decisions?

My guess is there would be a power conference/mid major split, and coaches would not schedule as aggressively, which means fewer high quality games in the nonconference schedule.

I don't really disagree, but who is not favored to win their conference tourney that you'd be looking at to replace them? I'm almost wishing we'd go back to 64 teams...

64 would be awesome.. would make the last few weeks more fun too. Right now it feels like you just watch teams limp into the tournament versus earn it at the end.

Tough loss for rutgers tonight. Came back from down 21 to go up 2 with 38 seconds left. then psu hits a 3 and ru can't answer at the buzzer. Ouch.

Maryland getting the road treatment by the B1G officials. Jalen Smith picks up 2 early fouls, they try to steal a few minutes toward the end of the half and gets called for his 3rd foul for breathing on a gopher on the rebound.

I'm neither pro nor con on Turgeon. I do think he has the most overall roster talent in the league this year so if the terps win it (which it appears that they will) then he's meeting reasonable expectations.
Bottom line, I don't think it necessarily signifies a great season of coaching when you consistently have more talent than your opponents.
