KDB Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Currently has the Hoosiers slotted as a 7-seed. 10 B1G teams included. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 7-seed seems a bit generous considering how we played recently. Definitely it's a good start. Here's to hoping that we just hit the rock bottom and can only go up from this point on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwtaylor1055 Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 At the beginning of the season I thought we would be between a 5 and 7 seed this season in the big dance. These next four games will prove a lot about who/what this team really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Leaving aside my immediate knee-jerk reaction that Lunardi's "bracketology" (the "science" of bracket predicting) is generally terrible, 7 at this point seems fair to me.

If I can actually take that bracket, I'll take it in a heartbeat. I can see a relatively clear path to Elite Eight and meet Kansas for Final Four.

Had Wheeler not had a career night, they would have gotten beaten at home last night. They are not very good and as expected, Carson is very inefficient.

Juwan Mprgan - 27.1 Carsen Edwards - 24.6 That said, using Nojel Eastern as a barometer of what it takes to be an NBA player, it only requires a college PER of 14.6 to make it in the league.

Where are your numbers coming from? I found this list: http://insider.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/hollinger/statistics?page=2 Looking at your numbers, I'm guessing where Carson closes the gap is at the free throw line where Juwan is horrible and Carson is very good. Still, there would be a lot of players between Juwan and Carson in the rankings even with Juwan's abominable free throw percentage included. 2.5 points is a pretty big gap when the 50 players on that page covered about 1.7. The bottom line is, Carson is very inefficient on the floor but compensates for that somewhat by being very efficient at the free throw line. He's no college player of the year though...surely we can put that joke to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
