IU Scott Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 2 minutes ago, rico said: Well Scott, they did finish 4th in the ACC last year and that is saying something. Toughest conference in CBB last year. I don't mind playing the top teams but when we are not supposed to be very good it makes us look bad like last years game against Duke. Also with our pairings every year it should show people that IU is still relevant nationally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I a guess I am just glad we did not get Duke. That would likely of been another embarrassing 25 loss on national tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the court that is a whole different story. I am guessing when we are losing by 25 to Duke at half most turn it off at that point anyway.

5fouls Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Looking at those match-ups, we're not going to be an ESPN game. Michigan vs. Louisville will likely be the early one Duke and Michigan State will absolutely be the later one. Our game will be relegated to ESPN2.

Alex Bozich had Indiana picked 9th just over a month ago. Seth Davis goes 45 deep with his preseason rankings, lists nine Big Ten teams but doesn't mention Indiana. Andy Katz ranks seven Big Ten teams in his Power 36, and lists three more as being in the mix. Indiana is not mentioned. Joe Lunardi has picked nine Big Ten teams to make the tournament and doesn't have Indiana among his next eight out. Every other reputable early ranking I could find is a Top 25 only. Indiana obviously isn't listed in any, but nor are there enough Big Ten teams to determine how the author would expect us to place in the conference.

Honestly we do not deserve to be picked to be in the top half of the big ten right now. We lose our two best scorers and do not really return any go to guys. We can play our way into the top half but Bozichs pick seems about right going into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indiana – Archie Miller enters season three at the helm in Bloomington and there will be significant pressure to reach the NCAA tournament. IU missed the postseason completely in Miller’s first season and then reached the NIT in 2018-19. To show progress, the next step is getting back to the big dance, which hasn’t happened since 2016. Romeo Langford and Juwan Morgan are both gone, but IU returns a solid nucleus and the Hoosiers also welcome Trayce Jackson-Davis, the lone McDonald’s All-American to sign with a Big Ten program.

I get the question marks based on past performance. The Big Ten must be projected to be ridiculously strong again next season. That being said, I'll be damned disappointed if IU finishes 9th. Just like a Cubs fan, I'm saying THIS is the year the tide turns. Reminds me a lot of where the program was when Cody Zeller came in as a freshman...not quite back, but getting ever closer.

milehiiu Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Past performance is no guarantee of future results. In terms of college basketball, we see it every year. This IU team has a ton of potential ( potential ? Isn't that what the NBA drafts on ?), that I feel a lot of people are not giving IU enough credit for. Instead, they are looking at our performance from last year, and who we have lost. In the end. For me, it will come down to which of our guys have the heart and desire to release the potential that resides in each and every one of them. Heck. Look at me. It's only June. And I am already getting pumped for next season ! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Are they understating the positives of Brunk coming into IU as a 4th. year Junior ( Athletically ) ? Along with the return of the 3 players who pulled out of the NBA draft ??? I think so ! Even with all of the Youth and damned injuries , CAM increased OU's win total by THREE over his first season !!!! Plus: THE Hoosiers are adding Two starters for the Indiana High School ALL Star 🌟 game versus Ky. All Stars ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Arkansas game was not so early in the season, I’d feel more confident about it. We will be counting on a freshman Davis, a guy who we don’t know what we have in Hunter, and Brunk who will still be learning how to play with new teammates and in a new system. As I said, put this game in the middle of February in AH and I think we win handily. Not so sure in December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Gafford, I think they bring back a lot from the team that pushed us to the end in the NIT. I agree we need to get our mojo back, but I also agree with this game being labeled a toss up.

But a failed De'Ron Davis put back, and subsequent foul is what it took the Razorbacks to beat IU last season on their home court. Arkansas vs. Indiana 11/18/2018 And. IU got revenge in the NIT. There is no way the Arkansas game should be considered a toss up. At this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
