I see brighter days ahead for Indiana, I really do. But #iubb coach Darian DeVries and the Hoosiers should never miss the NCAA Tournament again.

The metric that explains why Miami (Ohio) will get an NCAA bid is the same one that suggests Indiana won't.
Miami's WAB: 37
The Hoosiers' WAB: 53.

Among the many points here:

“The way Darian DeVries buried freshman Trent Sisley and senior Tayton Conerway? He must answer for that, especially for Sisley, a 4-star recruit from Indiana who chose #iubb over Purdue and was a key contributor before disappearing as IU faded late.”

Haven't seen many IU losses as ugly as this one to Northwestern in Big Ten tourney. And we've seen some ugly #iubb losses.
Darian DeVries, huh?
