The B1G was highly overrated this past season. Actually, the past several seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steubenhoosier Posted June 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Not of the opinion that the B1G is going to be weak. Every summer there’s this conversation about opposing teams and what they lost from the previous year. Until they prove me wrong, Wisconsin is going to be good. Iowa will be good. PUke will be good. Illinois will restock. OSU will compete. I never sell Izzo short. There will be quality competition for our guys to beat and claim a legitimate conference championship 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceDouglas Posted June 1, 2022 Report Share Posted June 1, 2022 Pete Nance took his name out, there was a lot of speculation he'd end up at Illinois. Not sure with Mayer on board now. Nance would be a better fit with his size and skills. Probably will get lots of interest, Michigan may be after him given Diabate's choice. Also UNC and Zags probably will give him a call.

rico Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Per CBS.. Winner: Indiana's Big Ten prospects Michigan lost Caleb Houstan and Moussa Diabate to the draft. Purdue lost Jaden Ivey and Trevion Williams to the draft. Ohio State lost Malaki Branham and EJ Liddell to the draft. Is the Big Ten possibly Indiana's for the taking now? I think the case is there. Trayce Jackson-Davis is back, as are the team's other top two scorers from last season. Jalen Hood-Schifino, the incoming five-star freshman, is going to be a difference-maker as well. I think the returning production and added star power, combined with losses other teams in the Big Ten suffered, should thrust the Hoosiers into being a legit contender in the Big Ten and beyond. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big jump from last year for a second-year coach. I agree with the off season observation. However, everything is aligning up for IU right now. Race will be a 6 year college player, XJ 5th year and TJD a four year and I am not sure if Koop is 4 or 5 years. That is a lot of experience right there sprinkled in with the diaper dandies they have on the team. I still say Tamar Bates or JHS have to come out and impress for IU to get to the next level. I also love the schedule this year. I am not a fan of playing all cupcake’s in the preseason. It is way past the time to wake this sleeping giant and regain IU’s spot among the elite. Hopefully, this is the year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should help the hype surrounding our Kansas, Arizona....and if I'm guessing correctly Carolina visiting Bloomington for ACC challenge. Love the attention for sure but if you don't make the second weekend of tourney it doesn't matter much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also haven't seen our fans picking IU this high in a long time as well. I have seen people say if things go right, we could finish like 5th in the conference, so I don't every see a pattern of optimism.

Last couple of years, we had plenty of forum predictions of at least 23 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
