IU 84 St Francis 64

Brackets are out... Feel free to start sending in your picks whenever you have them... Must be before Tip-off of that game on Thursday. I will start it out and my pick on Thursday will be.... wow already stumped... this is tough... so many I want to pick... I am going to try to be on the safer side in this one and take Kansas on Thursday to win.

Will these be opening games for the season? That is a very odd way to get in the extra 2 games... I thought our early December games were cool but to open the season in conference play (maybe 1 cupcake before).... WOW.

Thank you... I wasn't sure about this, I knew Brooks & TJD were really good friends but wasn't sure how close Franklin & Brooks were.... if they were new friends I could see this being a big deal, but if they are longtime family friends it could be that they want to show their support for his decision no matter what.

His announcement will also be live streamed through 247Sports live on CBS Sports HQ (CBS SPORTS HQ LIVE STREAM).

It is on the Recruits too... They like the spectacle... they like the attention, there is a reason they drag on recruiting, there is a reason they release Top 6, 3, etc.... If you are seeking attention you have to know it is not all going to be positive... the majority probably will be but not 100%. Agree to a point... That in NO way gives people the right to be disrespectful etc, however if you are a user of social media you already know what that entails, and part of that is the negativity and keyboard pirates.... So yes you should "expect" a reaction as that is the whole point of social media, however that is not giving an excuse for people to act like a$$hats.

In my opinion he needs to drive that... of course it was wide open, we can't hit the barn so OSU wants everybody but Green to shoot that all day long.

Instead they remove 1... Morgan has 2 now

QUIT with the 3s!!!!! Why do we think we are some hot shooting team?

Wesson is absolutely killing us in all facets of the game.

I started to type something similar... luckily I could hit delete prior to Submit!

Finally called the Push Off!! C'mon Green get scorching!

C'MON MORGAN... Don't get sucked into the teams 3 ball jacking...

Get in a rhythm Green... and lets keep feeding Davis... they can't handle him.

Can't let Wesson come back and give them motivation... gotta get him out of the game somehow... Can't keep chucking 3s....

LETS GO ROMEO!!!!

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.

Not impossible... but YES very difficult to have a PERFECT Survivor... there is always a winner! Last year for example 9 people get out of the first weekend, but only 1 to make it to the Elite 8.... That person missed the pick but had other options still on the table.

N.C. State vs. #2 Virginia Indiana vs. Ohio State Arkansas vs. Florida #16 Virginia Tech vs. #12 Florida State TCU vs. #15 Kansas State USC vs. Washington Penn State vs. Minnesota Texas vs. #17 Kansas

That is correct. Each team can only be used 1 time throughout the course of the tournament.

In a way I like the idea... it would never happen and would mean only a couple "cupcake" games in the non-conference but it would be pretty cool to have the full round-robin.... If it weren't for money I say we kick out Rutgers, Maryland, & Nebraska and then play everyone in the conference twice every year!

Clemson vs N.C. State Nebraska vs Rutgers Butler vs Providence Oklahoma State vs TCU Northwestern vs Illinois

It would definitely depend on the 2 games removed.... Say they removed @ Rutgers & Home against Michigan State. We play 2 more "easier" opponents... so now we are sitting at 18-13 and takes away one of our worst losses but also takes away a High Quad 1 Win... would we still look as good?
