Patience has paid off for IU athletic director Scott Dolson. The clock is now ticking on his decision, and the chain reaction that follows.

Indiana's exclusion from the NCAA Tournament field generated a lot of reaction in the wake of the pairings being announced on Sunday. One of those who criticized the NCAA Tournament selection committee was CBS Sports college basketball analyst Jon Rothstein.

Indiana compiled a 19-13 record and went 10-10 in Big Ten play. The Hoosiers were 4-13 in Quad 1 games, with wins over Purdue, Michigan State and two over Ohio State topping their resume. Indiana also didn’t have any losses in games against Quad 2 or lower opponents.
