You got that right. Righten the ship two games and go to Indy
We say it 100 times every year and people still say "if we get to the final we'll move up" or "winner will be a 1 and loser a 2" it is absolutely meaningless unless a bubble team goes on a run to bolster their resume.
Yep it’s been this way - almost like the league has an agreement - this is only a money maker tourney - don’t really worry about it
And is yet another reason why I have said that I personally cannot stand the BTT. This is not the first time it's been shown to be a meaningless thing.
As already said, unless a team that was not slated to get in wins the whole thing to get the auto bid, it has zero value.

agree , plus it more time where an injury can happen
So metrics and NET were actually pretty good and a lot of your worries were not needed! It’s a good thing!
Can’t remember if it was here or X, but it’d be interesting if the top 3 seeds of the conference could opt out of the big ten tourney and allow the bottom 3 to play their way in 😂
Counterpoint … Illinois probably got itself from a 4 seed to a 3 seed last year due to Q1 wins it got in the BTT, and that very likely was the difference between a Second Round/Sweet Sixteen exit and the Elite Eight we got. I think there’s a lot of nuance in how much the BTT “matters.”
My worries are plenty needed because this team is playing awful for a while now and I wouldnt be surprised by anything. We probably beat HP but dont think we are beating clemson
Michigan beat us twice, made the championship game, had a better record.. 11-7 vs quad 1 vs our 7-10... though our quad 2 was way better and we are higher in NET and kenpom.
If recency bias plays even the smallest role I feel michigan should be above us
Just on here. How do we get a 4 and Michigan gets a five? How is my logic better than the leads logic? Convince me.

Yup, the BTT has little to no impact on seeding. They should move the championship to Saturday.
Or we smoked Michigan at home and were beating them the entire game until the last 4 minutes and the BTT means zip
How many times do people need to be told that there is no such thing as recency bias?
Non conference SOS - reason they said Carolina got in. Bogus maybe but that’s their reasoning
Ah but we definitely could and we don’t know what else happens - that’s the beauty of it
Nah nah. You were always worried about NET and our seeding. I’m saying your worries didn’t need to be as bad as they were.
Ah yes. I knew and know metrics matter a lot. Im still surprised they mattered as much as they did for us with how awful we have looked for an alarmingly long time, but that is why a while ago I was stressing over them early in the year. They matter a LOT
