Hoosier987 Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Will we be ranked? My guess is yes. I’ve seen 5 AP ballots (some guys post their ballots online) and we are ranked in 3/5 and as high as #16 by one writer. I say we come in at #22 or #23 Any predictions?
IowaHoosierFan Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 7th, i think we will be ranked 7th
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 We are unranked and in "others receiving votes" and Purdue is #24. Love it.

Hoosierhoopster Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 PU at 24, oh man. AP = collection of uninformed nitwits.

Bushmage Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 I'll take 28th but a little salty we arent ranked. I think this list will re-consolidate pretty quickly. Fortunate that Purdue and Michigan play each other in one of the early conference games, and I'm just hoping this adds to the chip on the shoulder for us to start the season.
Officer Obie Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 Purdue at #24? This isn't football.
Steubenhoosier Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 No problem with where we are rated in this poll. We are a team that made no post season tournament last year. We brought in a great recruiting class, but frankly, that is based on potential. I think we will end up between 15-20 this year, but it has to be proven on the court. Once games start, then we can piss and moan if we are underrated.
5fouls Posted October 22, 2018 Report Posted October 22, 2018 I think it's silly to rank Purdue ahead of IU, but since most of us were expecting 20-25, coming in at 28 is reasonable.

His efficiency will go down. Your goofy fans think Purdue will easily replace four senior starters...I think that's nuts.

Don’t know I’ve seen many folks say we’d easiy replace four senior starters.

Great player for sure, but he is not Lebron so I don't get the expectation that he can do it all himself. Not sure any other player on Purdue would crack IU's starting lineup.

You have plenty of GBIers thinking this team is better than the last team and thinking that Carson is going to be all-world this year. Hope springs eternal especially in October, but I've witnessed a lot of unrealistic expectations among your fellow fans. We'll see how he adjusts to being the focus of the defense. He's a good player and this is the year he gets to prove just how good, but his supporting cast is miles behind what he had last year. I know I know...GBI doesn't represent the fanbase...except that it does. This last week, I've talked to three different local fans who sounded like they could be GBI regulars. All three said Purdue would likely sweep IU this season and finish no worse than 2nd in the league.

FKIM01 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Posted October 24, 2018 No joke. Maybe I met the three stooges, but these three were optimistic to put it mildly. Caveat is, these three know each other and maybe they had a group-think session before I ran across them.
