The Indiana Hoosiers' loss in the Big Ten Tournament puts them in a precarious position with Selection Sunday just around the corner.

Indiana will watch how Xavier, Villanova, North Carolina, SMU, VCU, Liberty, San Diego State and Dayton fare in the coming days.

I think we've been playing some pretty damn good basketball': Indiana defends NCAA Tournament resume after Big Ten Tournament exit:

Competitive or not, losses are still losses. After falling in their first matchup of the Big Ten Tournament, the Hoosiers finished just short of the 20-win mark. Indiana hasn’t earned an NCAA Tournament berth with fewer than 20 wins since the 2014-15 season.

The No. 9 Hoosiers (19-12) lost 72-59 to an Oregon team that beat them on their West Coast trip nine days earlier. Those losses were huge setbacks for an IU team firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble, while the No. 8 Ducks (23-8) head into the quarterfinals to face No. 1 Michigan State, having won eight straight games.

After a 72-59 loss to Oregon in the Big Ten Tournament Thursday in Indianapolis, the Hoosiers' NCAA Tournament chances hang in the balance. Going into the Oregon game, Indiana was listed as one of the last four teams in the NCAA Tournament in Joe Lunardi's latest Bracketology from early Thursday morning.

Indiana's win over Ohio State on Saturday locked up the No. 9 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. It will play Oregon at noon on Thursday.
