Haven't totally looked at the whole schedule but just going by what I have seen from other teams as well. Right now there are no real dominate teams and every teams has warts so I see a lot of teams that will be in that 12-8 to 8-12 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any road wins besides maybe Northwestern. Got to run the table at home to get to 11-9. With OSU Purdue Michigan Michigan State Penn State Iowa, can't see winning all those at home. I am 100% confident the range i 6-14 to 8-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But given we seem pretty soft that seems like astretch at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there are no real dominate teams and every teams has warts so I see a lot of teams that will be in that 12-8 to 8-12 range Suprised you haven't looked. As many have said it's a "gauntlet". The two worst teams so far(Rutgers and Northwestern) we only get once each. The road will be extremely difficult. Rutgers might be our best chance to steal one. Then that home schedule we are looking at ranked teams in OSU, Maryland, MSU, Iowa and Penn St. And throw in our rival PU and a Wisconsin team that embarrassed our asses. I hope you're right with 11 wins but I'd be shocked if that happened. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 8-12 would be great. 7-13 most likely- 6 or less and I'll be disappointed. Need 10 to make NCAA, or maybe 9 depending on the bubble. Looking NIT for sure.

Also no one thought we would win at MSU and we did so we can always win a game that we are not expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think we're also guaranteed to drop a couple more at home that we have no business losing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I'm wondering if the prognosticators might be right when they made pre-season predictions and had IU pretty low? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty close probably when you consider we lost our two best players and scorers from an NIT team. The recruiting class was ok but nothing spectacular so we were not going to be picked to finish high based off all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think quite a few of you are focused totally on IU and not factoring in that every B1G Ten team is flawed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see 7-13 as the most likely result. This is not a normal 7-13 team- with a better schedule in conference would be a lot better record.

CincyHoosier Posted January 5, 2020 Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 Kenpom ranking now 40th and falling. That's 10th out of 14 Big 10 teams with Rutgers and Illinois right on our heels at 42nd and 44th. Brace yourselves, the rest of this season is going to be difficult to watch.

Yeah, this is a really strong year for the conference. I'm sticking with 7-13. I think win at Nebraska, lose the rest on the road. So 1-9 road 6-4 home. Hoping maybe 7-3 or 8-2 home if things break right but that would be optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtcat2 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Illinois destroyed Purdue tonight. Thinking the Purdue game at home is winnable. I'm bumping up to 8-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 I'm going to have to wait until after this week to make the call on correcting my preseason record. These next 4 are huge because after that it just gets brutal. You could make a point that our easiest game after these next 4 and the following 10 is home game vs Purdue.

I think going at least 3-3 over the next 6 is a must. Beat Northwestern, split the road games against Nebraska and Rutgers, and win one of the home games against OSU, MSU, and Maryland. You would think that should be doable, and would at least keep us alive for a tourney bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
