milehiiu Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Well. If no one has noticed. Coach Miller has upgraded next year's schedule. Irrespective of what tournaments IU is not a part of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Jon Rothstein, here's the lineup: Villanova at Ohio State Michigan State at Seton Hall Creighton at Michigan Purdue at Marquette Providence at Northwestern Penn State at Georgetown Minnesota at Butler DePaul at Iowa Fine with me. Our pounding of Marquette last year did nothing so instead of risking a road loss....I'll take a W at home. Tourney committee showed us wins are more important.

It doesnt matter if you have a tough schedule but beat no one just the same as it doesnt matter if you beat all cupcakes. Davis played schedules that were to tough, crean played schedules that were too easy, Miller is still TBD. We need quad 1 wins out of conference, they dont have to be top 10 teams but we need quad 1 ooc. Last year we talked a ton about our quad 1 wins but how many werent members of the big ten? Also quad 2 and 3 loses matter, that's what hurt us last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pounding of Marquette was a major factor in us being on the bubble at all. It was the fact that we couldn’t scrounge up more than 16 wins outside of that that kept us out of the tournament.

The only non-conference I see are Arkansas at home, ND (they should not be real good) in the Crossroad and an undetermined ACC opponent. It does not appear we will be in the Gavitt games. Has the rest of the non-conference been released? I can’t find it. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were solid in the Q1 department last year. 6-9 overall, 2-2 non-con (wins vs Louisville and Marquette, losses @Duke and @Arkansas). Meaning that 1/3 of our Q1 wins were non-con. You're dead on the mark about Q2 losses though. Those were all the games that hurt: @Northwestern, @Rutgers, Nebraska, Iowa...... FWIW, we only had one Q3 loss last year, and that was Wichita State (so non-factor when it came to tournament selection). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quad 1/2 wins actually didn't mean as much as they thought. With a likely road game this year and no guarantee of win. I'll take the easy W win instead of loss.

However, one of our great members listed the strengthened schedule a few days back. I forget the thread title. There was a good discussion related to the benefits of upgrading the schedule, vs just picking up wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosiertildeath Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I was led astray on who would or would not play in on the 2019 Gavitt games ! P.S. Marquette returns top scorer Markus Howard , 25 points per game last season and 4 of their 6 scorers from last season! They add in 7'0" Utah Transfer , who is fifth year Senior , Jayce Johnson , who averaged 7 points and 7.5 Rebounds per game and made 55.2 % of his field goal attempts ! Decent matchup for pee yew ? Only time will tell ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell ! With the Hauser brothers gone, it should be an easy match-up for Turdue. Just chase/harass Howard the whole game and make someone else beat you. I have a feeling Marquette is in for a tough year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosiertildeath Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 Their leading scorer and Four of Their Top Six Scorers are Back ? And they are adding a 7'0" Veteran Center from Utah and a 6 '4" guard transferring from Utah State who redshirted this past season ? I do not see them struggling ! Don't underrate Marquette 's Head Coach either ! P.S. In my original post I failed to mention the 6'4" transferring Junior guard Koby McEwen , from Utah State who sat out this past season per NCAA transferring rules ! Koby started ALL 30 games his Sophomore season at Utah State😁😃😃😀 ! ( 15.6 points per game as a Sophomore ) I think Marquette might even " upset " those smellermakers ! P.S , Again ! The game is AT Marquette !!!!!!!!!! Not at hackey - smackey arena ! P.S. Again. Just found out that 6'6" Forward Kyle King is leaving pee yew and is being replaced by another walk on 5' 11 " Jared Wulbrun who averaged 6.6 points per game at Cal Lutheran ?????? Also , 9 of the pee yews 10 Losses last season came away from West Lafayette ! Hmmm !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
