Indiana

Currently, Indiana has an RPI of 98. If they do happen to beat us but then lose out the rest of the season, that could potentially turn into a bad loss. So let's get a win Saturday!

Crazy because their Kenpom is signifantly higher.

True, Kenpom is at 44, but in the selection committee eyes, RPI is the most important metric.

If Indiana beats us, we have some major problems as far as the tourney. It would likely bump NU under a 50% probability of being in.

Seems weird, though, that losing at Indiana would be considered a "bad loss". Historical perspective, of course.

Could be but don't you think a win against Michigan or Purdue and a BTT win still puts the Cats in the 68 team field?

Yes, but I'm not counting on those. This may be the most winnable remaining game, including the BTT.
