Recent article says Purdont is good this year, but will be very good next year!! Then today, an article about what they must do in the 2nd half of the season to be a contender for the top half of the B1G. Kinda depressing for a Hoosier fan.... You can thank Archie and Crean for that...let’s be real until we start beating Purdue or at minimum start making tournament runs they own this state...and rightfully so. Only thing is I lived in Evansville for like a decade...if UK wasn’t a turd this year it would be all UK news. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cockburn blocks a layup attempt by Wieskamp, who immediately puts it back in for 2 while the officials blow the whistle for a goal tend. They then head to the monitor and overturn the call, negating everything that happened afterward. The funny part (to me at least) was I think a big reason the refs called the goal tend was he's right in front of the Iowa bench and they are all screaming for it. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 At this point I'll take 10-10. Penn St up 8 late on Wisconsin. Just zero breaks in this 20 game gauntlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird schedule coming with many revenge motivations on our end and opponents. If we beat Illinois....5-5 with Iowa coming to town. Maybe they have revenge on brain so we go to 5-6. After that 4 winnable games vs Northwestern (revenge), Ohio St (still not sold on), Minnesota (away for them where they suck), Sparty (who we own)...followed by at Rutgers (revenge), Michigan (not sure), at Purdue (revenge). In this season with zero fans....you never know what might be the proper motivation for a team. Beat Illinois is first on the docket. After that I'm all over the place on final record. Right now we are 23 in Kenpom and if tourney started tomorrow...we'd be in no questions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Forgot that Purdue and Minnesota was playing tonight. PU is up 59-45 but trailed by 5 at half. Minnesota just have a hard time playing on the road. They are shooting well from 3 at 40 percent but overall only shooting 36 percent. To me it is ridiculous for a team to shoot that bad from 2. Most of the 2's shot today are in the lane do you should shoot a really good percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman going off for 29 didn’t hurt either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I have asked this a few times, but is anyone able to get on a site that shows predictors for our remaining games at this point? I know it's not the end all be all, but I'm just curious how that shakes out prediction wise. I would still think we would be underdogs in literally all games left. I don't think we're going 0 for, but odds are not good to go above .500 the rest of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we're going 0 for, but odds are not good to go above .500 the rest of the way. I saw this on another site I was looking at last night. It does not include the two games that have been postponed. According to ESPN, likelihood to win in the rest of our games.. Illinois 40% Iowa 31% Northwestern 63.5% Ohio State 34.3% Minnesota 69.4% Michigan State 70.9% Rutgers 48.1% Michigan 39.6% Purdue 49% Clearly the first Iowa game shows that these aren't the be all end all. However, it does give an idea of the challenge that lies ahead. Hopefully we get things together to get to that 10-10 conference record you mentioned.

So by whatever measures used for this system, they predict us to go 7-11. This year home/road doesn't matter nearly as much and we have definitely seen that anything can happen. Match-ups mean a lot for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we average those percentages up, we get 49.5 by my math, so they are predicting we will win 4.458 more games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are capable of winning just about any of them and capable of losing just about any of them. I just think we'll end below .500 in conference. Going by that stat, it would be fair to say the predictor would be surprised if we ended .500 or above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have some holes in their roster but they are coming together quite well. With everyone coming back next year (I don’t see any NBA picks) I would put them preseason #1 in the B1G for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def some holes but the freshmen have been better than advertised and we’re the youngest team in the conference. I’d hold off on preseason #1. Depends who Michigan loses IMO.
