The Daily Hoosier Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I thought it would be fun for everyone to include their predictions for the standings here with conference play starting on Saturday. Mine are in the link. While I didn't see it 3 weeks ago, I think the No. 1 and No. 2 teams have emerged. 3-9 for me is anyone's guess. https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/big-ten-basketball-is-here-our-predictions-on-the-2018-19-conference-race/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotIThatLives Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 No time for thorough breakdown. Leaning msu, won't be surprised if Michigan wins it. Hopeful iu in third. Leaning Wisconsin. Expecting around 5th or 6th for iu. If we wind up 8th it's going to be an ugly, angry season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I think my top 5 right now would be UM MSU UW Neb IU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLHoosier Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 How many BIG teams make the tourney? I think 7 will, but the selection committee always seems to underrate the BIG, so I wouldn’t be surprised if less do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IowaHoosierFan Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 i don't see us as a top 5 BIG Conference team at this point. I see us around 8. That might change if we win the next 6 out of 7 but lets be honest. This team hasn't shown anything yet that says we're top tier. Lets prove something before adding us to the top tier in the league.

We better be top 5, with the talent on this team anything less would be disappointing. Heck we finished 6th last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck we finished 6th last year. I agree. Last year I kept thinking "we need a scorer" beside Juwan. Robert Johnson was good at times, but inconsistent. Josh Newkirk was awful pretty much the whole year. Enter Romeo and Rob P. I think Robert Johnson was one of the better on the ball defenders we've had at IU. But I've always been taught that defense is all about effort, and I think Archie will get that out of Romeo. I've seen it (at times) already this year. I think Rob P can at least duplicate Newkirk's scoring numbers, while uping the assists and cutting down the turnovers. And I always see effort on the defensive end. Couple that with better depth, and that's why I have them so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Michigan is really good. I think they win the B1g, and they look better than MSU to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ex wife #6's Shih Tzu visited me in a vision and instructed me to predict the following (for reference, he also told me to pick Loyola to make the Final Four last season): Indiana 20-0 Illinois 10-10 Iowa 10-10 Maryland 10-10 Michigan 10-10 Michigan State 10-10 Minnesota 10-10 Nebraska 10-10 Northwestern 10-10 Ohio State 10-10 Penn State 10-10 Rutgers 10-10 Wisconsin 10-10 Purdue 0-20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
