hoosiertildeath Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 about 50-50 VBG !! If IU was playing at Illinois tomorrow night instead of playing Penn State AT HOME , my crystal ball says Illinois would win 78 to 72 !! However , it also says that could change in IU's favor depending on how Both IU and ILLINOIS do in their other games leading up to that game on January 24 , 2018 ??????

IU Scott Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I hope we win the NW game because I am taking my son to that game for his 18th birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a normal season I feel like these are 3 home games we should win, especially given that Maryland is without Jackson and their back-up big. This season has been anything but normal.

hoosiertildeath Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think IU has a decent chance AT HOME versus Maryland since the TERPS will not have either Jackson or Bender available !! That should be the edge IU needs to beat those pesky turtles ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoB2011 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 I think we will go 3-2, but won't be surprised by 4-1 or 2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season has been anything but normal. I watched them play Iowa last night and they have a couple bigs but they are not as good as Jackson. Their PG is likes to take it to the whole though and finishes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty interesting. I think this will be another example of how KenPom's predictors are flawed. Not saying it couldn't happen, but 1-4 would be about as bad as bad can be, and this after a road win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted January 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Quite a few people suggesting that 4-1 is a realistic possibility. Oh what a B10 road win can do for our collective psyche. If that were to happen we would be at 12-8 with 9 games remaining in B10 play, if my math is correct. A spot in the tournament would necessarily be completely out of the picture, depending on how we fare down the stretch. Would likely need to win a few in the B10 tourney, which as we all know, almost never happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 A 12-6 conference record gives us a decent shot at a bid. To have any hope in getting there, a 4-1 record in this stretch is almost a necessity. I personally feel 3-2 or 2-3 is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Let's be real. 0-5 is on the table. Pretending that isn't possible is silly. But as far as what I think will happen, I'll say 2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
