With the Indiana Hoosiers losing 72-59 to the Oregon Ducks in the Big Ten Tournament, Mike Woodson’s team is going to need A LOT of help to make the NCAA Tournament.

- Last Four Bye – Teams that are in the field, and do not have to play their way in
- Last Four In – Teams that will be playing in Dayton (2 teams will play for an 11-seed and 2 teams will play for a 12-seed)
- First Four Out – Teams that are just on the outside looking in and need some help, or make a conference tournament run
