Amanda gets you ready for Indiana women's basketball's first weekend of NCAA Tournament play with quick hits about each team the Hoosiers could potentially face.

Indiana men's team ended up with the 4 seed in the Midwest. We talk about that selection, the matchup againt 13 seed Kent State, the potential matchups in the second round, and the region overall. We also look at the Indiana women's team draw, as the Hoosiers will host the first two round before feeding into one of the Greenville regionals.

Indiana's Big Ten Tournament ends the way all of their other Big Ten Tournaments have ended, as they lose to Penn State by four. We break down what happened in the game, the issues IU has had down the stretch with effort and focus, and what that might mean for IU's NCAA prospects. We also discuss the seeding possibilities for IU and whether the Penn State loss had any impact on it.

Indiana seized control of their quarterfinal matchup vs Maryland early in the second half and didn't let it go, defeating the Terps by 10 and advancing to play Penn State in today's semifinal. Scott and DoctorGC break down last night's game, talk about the improvement of Jalen Hood-Schifino and the steady brillance of Trayce Jackson-Davis, and focus on the key elements of the matchup versus the Nittany Lions. We also evaluate the NCAA seeding implications of last night's win, and where IU may land in an updated bracket.

We preview Indiana's first matchup in the Big Ten Tournament as they face off in the nightcap against 6th-seeded Maryland. We talk through IU's concerning trend lines, how Maryland has fared since the two teams met in College Park, and what Indiana needs to do to pull out a victory at the United Center.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Jerod Morris of @AssemblyCall to put this regular season into context, find the right mind space to have going into March, and discuss the legacy and fate of one of the relics of IUBB History.

Scott @CrimsonCast317 is joined by Joe from @131Sports to discuss all the bracket possibilities for each B1G Team going into the B1G Tournament.

We speak of IU's "had 'em all the way" victory against Michigan on senior night, the mercurial nature of this roster, the overall successes of the 2022-23 season, IU's bleak Big Ten Tournament history, and the potential matchups IU will face in Chicago.

On this edition of the Bracket Racket, we run through where the field sits as of Sunday morning 3/5, and talk through the top 16 overall teams in the field, the bottom of the at-large bracket, and answer some questions, including:

• Who are the most dangerous 1 seeds
• How do the 4/5 seeds stack up
• What method should you use to pick game winners once the field is selected?

Scott is joined by Thomas from BT Powerhouse to reivew the B1G season and preview how teams will do in March.
