IUFLA Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 IU ahead of UK and Duke 🙂 Post that on Rupp Rafters and whatever Binky and Skip website Duke has for its forum and watch the uproar! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan looks like one of those old Irish middleweight prize fighters that got his eye split open during intros ("Cut me, Mick!), and Edey looks like a marsupial died on his head... 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUCrazy2 Posted September 8, 2022 Report Share Posted September 8, 2022 That seems a little high to me, but if they are anywhere close, we are in for one heckuva year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckerkorn Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 To paraphrase an old saying (and ignoring inflation): "Preseason rankings and a buck will get you a cup of coffee". Still, it's better than being ignored. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted September 12, 2022 Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Blue Ribbon Yearbook picks IU 1st in the Big 10 as well... Side note: if I was coach Woodson this comment would be taped to every backcourt player's locker... "The top three Big Ten backcourts are Michigan State, Illinois and Ohio State." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go talking Illini hoops again. 🤣 No need to look for Illini in the preseason rankings but they'll probably be at/near the top of the conference again. https://barttorvik.com/conf.php?conf=B10 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 Bought my copy of the magazine this week. Trayce picked for 1st team all-conference (2nd team All-American). Both X and race picked 3rd team all-conference. JHS picked as the Conference Freshman most likely to make the NBA first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 16, 2022 Report Share Posted September 16, 2022 (edited) Also found it interesting that the Magazine made the following 'Best-Of' picks. All products of Indiana high school basketball. Best High School Senior - Xavier Booker (Indy-Cathedral) Best High School Junior - Flory Bidunga (Kokomo) Best JUCO Player transferring to D1 - Sean East (Romeo's former teammate at New Albany who is headed to Missouri) Edited September 16, 2022 by 5fouls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 6th in the B1G would probably closer prediction. I’ll be happy with a top 20 finish. I don’t see us breaking into the top 10. Nice to just see a number by our name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if there are 10 teams in teh country with more talent and experience coming back, I would be surprised. Add in what is believed to be 2-3 impact freshmen, and it makes it even easier to justify a lofty ranking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted September 18, 2022 Report Share Posted September 18, 2022 Definitely excited to have a number by our name. Definitely makes sense with all we have coming back, an All American caliber player, a two freshman in the nation, and a coach who has had time to get his system in. Now... can we shoot? And I'm still hoping Bates is that 5th starter! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
