This is setup for a close game... I want the Good IU to show up and play for 40 minutes! Hit a few 3s, and most of the FTs and we win this one!!! IU 74 FSU 66

How this works!!! 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.

To an extent I agree... I would love more like an 80-20 split at the least... I am not sure I agree that most of the anti Archie crowd admit there are good times.... or maybe they admit it to themselves but they sure do not post about them.

21 out of 34 predicted an IU victory today, but I have to say I bet most were due to sheer loyalty... not many saw this one going the way it did... Congrats to @BottomLine & @Woodson1980 for correctly predicting Stanford's Final Score. CONGRATS to @tkbbn for taking over the TOP SPOT on the Leaderboard through 4 games. *** After the next game I will remove the 2 lowest scores from each person so we will have some movement of standings based on that.

THIS!!! And I am not calling you out... but go through the Game Thread and see who was posting early and mysteriously stopped as soon as we started to grow a good lead, and show we were going to play well today.... Some of the same posters who post 100 times how terrible Archie is, but never post when things go right.... Trust me, I get some of the frustration, and I know yesterday wasn't just 1 game but a repeat of many past performances... but you know what... today wasn't just 1 good game either... it is a repeat of many past GREAT performances under CAM.

Lander = DGreen All the skills in the world, but will he put it together. I am not saying I am giving up on him... I think he can be a really good piece for us moving forward, even this year in some games... but his bad is just as infuriating....

NICE PASS by Leal

Lander is out of control, got bailed out by a foul, had no chance on that drive... Then a terrible attempt at 3... Then the Refs LATE again... probably a foul but late call.

Franklin has been in attack mode all day!!!!

This is the TJD we need to see ALWAYS!

IU 69 Stanford 67

6 people correctly predicted an IU loss in this one... and at least for now until we start dropping the 2 lowest scores (probably after game 5 or so) they have taken command of the Leaderboard.

I am just saying I didn't see any votes in the MVP thread for Archie Miller yesterday..... That is part of being the coach/manager/leader... I get that... you get blamed for everything bad but others get credit for all the good.

I am sure there are a lot that believe that (less than who believe he does though).... but you are the only 1 that says nothing but that at all times..... The others at least also post accolades when deserved.... Every Coach/Team loses to somebody that they should NEVER lose to... that is why they play the game... it happens... it will continue to happen, to everybody, including IU and whoever the coach is.... if you jump off the cliff every time 1 of those games happens you will never be satisfied.

And yet here you still are.... holding on by a thread... trying to take anybody you can down with you

Too late... many have already made the leap

I think he is upset with himself for his performance so far.... nothing to worry about yet...

The offense doesn't look good, but it is the defense on both sides causing that... It can be a low scoring game and at the end we are in the advantage because they have foul trouble... We just need to keep the intensity on both ends and I am confident we pull out the W.... Not every game is going to be a 21 point blowout from the start

Keep Drawing Fouls! I know there is nothing bet negative vibes in here today... but I like what I am seeing. Playing a Ranked team, down 2 with 11 minutes to go in the 1st half...

We are ok... still doing some things well... a few jumpers aren't falling yet but we are good... get them into some fouls, force some Turnovers (and take some unforced ones)....

Thats ok.... you get to drop your 2 lowest scores anyway... so just in time!

Champions Classic games are tonight in Primetime.... didn't want the Winners Bracket games to compete against that for viewership...

This is a game we are going to be the underdog in, but if we come to play like we did today we will flip the script! IU 68 Texas 65
