CHICAGO -- Postseason control is over.
The NCAA Selection Committee will decide what Indiana couldn't.
You'd better believe the Hoosiers know that.
Welcome to the harsh reality following their 79-75 Big Ten tourney-opening loss to Ohio State, which followed a regular season in which, at one point, they lost 12 of 13 games.
The Hoosiers tried to do with Thursday words what they couldn't do with Thursday action -- make the case that, with a 17-15 record, they are NCAA tourney worthy.
They talked about hoping for the best, mentioned the number of NCAA tourney teams they've beaten and believing they've done enough to warrant a bid, even if no bracketologist agrees.
