Saw something interesting on the Magic Twitter Thingy the other day, posted by an old sportswriting acquaintance named Rick Bozich.
Rick, who covers a lot of college buckets exceedingly well down in Louisville, plugged a handful of teams into a conference tournament simulator run by a guy named Bart Torvik. And according to Mr. Torvik's calculations, Indiana has a 0.7 chance of winning the Big Ten Tournament, which kicks off today in Indianapolis.
A 0.7 percent chance.
That is No Soup For You country right there.
That's even less a chance than Wile E. Coyote has of catching the Roadrunner, according to the Blob's own calculations. Or that something will come out of Marjorie Taylor Greene's mouth that doesn't sound like she's on acid. Or that you will walk outside today and a glowing chunk of space stuff will hit you in the head and transform you into the Green Lantern.
In other words, Indiana will not be playing in the Madness when it begins a week hence. Well, it will, but not THAT Madness. This Madness will be called the Fire Archie Miller And Hire This Guy Over Here Who Has Indiana Ties Because He Once Attended A Frat Party There Madness.
Then again ... a 0.7 shot at winning the Big Ten Tournament is still a shot, right?
At least, this guy thinks so.
