milehiiu Posted November 2, 2020 Report Share Posted November 2, 2020 Thanks MIke. A year after IU beat Tennessee Tech in 2017, as you pointed out in your article..... Tennessee Tech lost to Michigan State 101-33 in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Is there a full schedule link somewhere. I have only seen through 12/9 and FSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted November 5, 2020 Report Share Posted November 5, 2020 Do people think there will be a roster/schedule poster this year? Obviously the schedule is still kinda up in the air but my new house has a man cave and I’d like to add it to my other stuff to put in the room if I can order one. Thanks!!

Parakeet Jones Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Isn't the max this year 27 games if you are in an MTE? If so: 20 B1G games 3 Maui/Asheville games Florida St. - confirmed Tennessee Tech - seems to be confirmed Butler - I'm assuming this goes off still. That's 26 games. We would only have room for one more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaroonRebel Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 I look at the schedule and think our team will be better this year and our record may be worse. Most years a team will pad 5 or more soft games to ensure they have a shot at 20 wins. With a shortened season and only one warm up game before we see stiffer competition, we could be like Purdue and go ugly early. Then again maybe a couple tough games early lead to better conference results. The outcome of this year could impact how we schedule moving ahead. Go hoosiers!

This team will be better than last year's team. It will start with Tennessee Tech, continue through Maui (Carolina), where we will do well, if not win, FSU, Butler, and then on to the BIG.

I just think the record may not reflect the growth. We like to compare the current team with past teams and wins and losses is the usual measuring stick. Just think everyone should realize the schedule is a lot harder this year. I am with you. We may start out running and not look back. I am very positive with this team. I think they could be very good. Go Hoosiers! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 I'm looking forward to a potential Texas matchup. Living in austin, I really follow them closely and Shaka is such a class act. If he can't get it done this year he is certainly gone. They are loaded and deep and have a balanced roster led by upperclassmen. He can't coach much offense but once they inserted Cunningham into the rotation, he was quite the glue guy around all that talent shaka recruits. This matchup will be a good barometer of how IU plays against a team loaded with athleticism that plays solid defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin is perhaps my favorite city in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW_Hoosier Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) It’s crazy that we’re 10 days out from the first game of the season and there’s been almost no hype. Not much coming out of the program, no word on who the starters will be. The last eight months have been tough for college basketball with all the uncertainty... Will suck to see an empty Assembly Hall, but it’ll be nice to have the Hoosiers back. I think we’re gonna see a starting lineup of Lander, Phinisee, Durham, Thompson, and TJD on the 25th, barring the usual spate of early-season injuries. A senior, redshirt junior, junior, and two five star underclassmen. Some decent talent on the bench too, and pretty good positional balance across the roster. That should be a good recipe for exceeding the modest expectations most fans (including me) have for this season.

I wudn't be surprise to see the season not start on time because a lot of coaches think they should move the start time back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible. And not to delve into the political muck, but a certain projected commander in chief's advisor is already talking about a 4-6 week national lockdown. That wouldbe right in the heart of a projected B10 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 The NBA delayed its season, it seems likely imo that college ball will follow suit. Realistically, it's a good option. I'd be fine with a delayed start, Hell we've waited this long, would rather a smooth delayed start to the alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
