I could see Indiana making the Sweet Sixteen.

Indiana actually matches up pretty good with Wichita State and Kansas.

Neither the Shockers or the Jayhawks have a big time post presence. Which is Indiana's weakness.

That should secure Crean's job for another decade.

Are you serious! I've watched them play. Absolutely no inside presence. Most striking is they are ranked 294 in scoring defense. Kansas would crush them and I doubt very much they beat Wichita State.

Wichita St will send them back home to Indiana. They're just lucky to even have that see dand get to privilege of getting beat by the Shocker's.

NC would pound them into oblivion.

Which is why Wichita State and Kansas are about the best matchups IU could hope for.

Wichita doesn't have big guys, and Alexander is out for Kansas.

If the Hoosiers get hot from 3, they can definitely beat either of those teams.

IU fans already have T-shirts made up that reads, " We survived the NCAA Bubble." This team should not even be in the tournament. That are hanging their hat on beating Maryland.

Wichita State will bring a TON of fans to Omaha. It'll be a quick exit for the Hoosiers, and Crean stays another year for making the tournament. Perfect scenario for us.

An IU friend of mine said that the team is going to cut down the nets before the game starts.

IU had no hope of making the field so they will be playing with house money. WSU has all that tourney experience. If they get ahead I don't see IU being able to come back on them.

Wichita State is so happy to have to the Hoosiers and then get a shot at Kansas. I mean, giddy giddy giddy, and I wouldn't doubt it for a moment they can take both IU and KU. Gonna love to see how that shapes up.

Hoosiers gonna get absolutely ROLLED by the Shockers. It'll be must see TV !

I could see the IU vs Wichita St game being pretty fun to watch, with a lot of scoring. I don't see IU winning it though, and if somehow they did I would think KU would crush them. IU has no defensive presence at all.
