Before I get started, no this is not me giving my argument why the Hoosiers should have been included in the NCAA Tournament strictly because they are Indiana basketball.
It’s more about what the selection committee told us about non-conference scheduling and the importance of winning games.
We are all well aware of where Indiana finished in the ‘rankings’, landing in the “first four out” list, but with some of the teams that got in ahead of them, and the quality of teams that made it, says a lot about the committee and what they really hold to a higher standard.
