With wins in three of its last four games, IU basketball is firmly back in the NCAA tournament discussion.
The Hoosiers still have work to do with a pivotal road game against Washington tomorrow night in Seattle.
Bracketologist Andy Bottoms included IU in his projected field earlier this week and the Hoosiers are now showing up in several notable projections ahead of this weekend’s game.
Before we get to the projections, here is a brief look at IU’s tournament resume:
Record: 17-11
Key wins: at Ohio State, at Michigan State, Purdue
Bad losses: None (all 11 of IU’s losses are in Quad 1)
According to the NCAA’s NET rankings, the Hoosiers are 4-11 in Quad 1, 4-0 in Quad 2, 5-0 in Quad 3 and 4-0 in Quad 4.
