How does this work? Each week I will create Prediction League threads for the weeks game(s). It's a simple concept: Each week you start with 100 points (only if a prediction is made, otherwise 0 points for the week) +25 PTs if you guess the winner -25 PTs if you pick the loser +10 PTs if guess IU score correctly +10 PTs if guess Opponent score correct -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of IU (over/under doesn't matter) -The # of points different between the actual and predicted score of opponent (over/under doesn't matter) *** Reminder if you post a prediction and want to change it, please just POST a NEW Prediction, do not edit a prior post as I may miss those edits. The person with the most points (MINUS 2 LOWEST GAMES) at the end of the season wins.

Just an FYI for future reference. It does lock at SCHEDULED Tip Time (usually give a couple extra minutes) I schedule it ahead of time in case I am not available to lock it on time.

Devonte has to be more clutch on FT at the end of the game, that can hurt us later on. Brunk & Al played much better in the 2nd. Jerome, Damezi, Armaan... gotta add something somewhere... Deron is never going to get whatever athleticism he once had back and that's sad. Could both teams have played really good defense? Or both played bad offensively?

Brunk... say hello

Gotta get the ball out of Al's hands, his handle is shaky at best. Send him off screens for a jumper.

C'mon Franklin... that crap doesn't work on any level. Get him out, play Green & Rob the rest of the game... Al can be ok as the 3rd guard, just cover him up defensively and don't let him run the offense.

Yes... thank you TJD

Rob looked good and aggressive. Green looked good like usual. Brunk got manhandled, glad he sat most of the half... Akok was killing us, don't start the 2nd with Brunk on the floor with Akok back in too... bring Brunk in after Akok gets another foul and has to sit. Let Deron try to out muscle Akok

There is no reason to do line change substitutions.... take 1 guy or at a time, couple minutes take the next guy out and bring the first back in

It's about dang time. With Rob presumably back at least a few minutes Franklin should only see spot time...

The post above was a little hard to read due to formatting of quoting from another thread.... AB said - Not the start to the second half I was looking for lol. The rest of that post was Old Friends response.

Well I am not going to be the first person to predict a loss..... Although I think it will be close, I believe the Home Court advantage will help us hold on at the end... IU 76 FSU 70

You are correct... EVERY person who has made a prediction every game is currently Dropping the SDST score... but as you mentioned now is when it gets tough... I am still waiting for the first person to predict a Loss.... will it be this next game?

As expected after the game some very low scores this game... but the Top 3 all held their ground overall.

Very interesting. My initial thought is that it doesn't worry me and here is why... These teams have very little to no chance against us, therefore their only game-plan is to take as many 3's as possible and try to get the best looks from behind the arc. All it takes is 1 guy to get hot and that can skew the entire team percentage. If they know they can't match our size or our athleticism then 3>2 On the other hand are these teams coming into their other games with this same game-plan and it is not working? If that is the case then that sounds like a problem for our defense. Why are they easier to hit at Assembly Hall? Soft Rims? WIDE OPEN?

It is now or never for this season.... If he makes it out of this weekend (Which I Don't believe he will) then he will make it the rest of the season. I think he looked bad enough yesterday that we get breaking news tomorrow that he has been let go.

Wow this is a bittersweet thread to look back at for me.... 2017 - First post I said I like the acquisition of K - S Hauschka.... now I could not want anybody to get cut more than him.... The high school soccer GOALIE would be a better option... 2017 - Can't believe we had the chance to have Patrick Mahomes and the GM blew it.... 2018 - Was coming around on Allen (Full disclosure Mayfield was who I wanted in that draft.... Now I think Allen has the potential to be the best of the recent QB era - Everybody is all over Lamar currently but he will fizzle out within a few years the same as RG3, Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, etc. Running QBs just don't workout long term as they either get hurt or other teams figure them out) Current - Super amped after the Thanksgiving day beat down on "Dem Boyz"... feeling like a great shot at the playoffs. Still curious if we can complete with the upper echelon (we will find out next week with Baltimore). Love the Owners, Love the GM, Love the Coach.... Lets go BILLS MAFIA

Not even a comparison... Allen by a mile. Hot Take: Allen will be the best QB of the recent drafts.
