IUBB's B1G Conference Record Prediction Thread

[Sota Hoosier]

13-5. Wouldn't be surprised with 11-7 or 15-3 honestly, though.

Should just stop starting Newkirk and have Rojo take point with JBJ, OG, Juwan, and TB.

12-6... Does anyone know which team in the BIG has the easiest BIG10 strength of schedule ?

[recker222000]

After taking some time to review the schedule id say15-3 and 13-5 very worst case scenario. We should start like 9-1. Third seed or above in the ncaa.

I believe 14-4 is entirely realistic . Road losses at pu and Wiscy, and a couple wtf losses. Conf. Champs again.

I agree the schedule is not overly difficult again. Id be shocked witj anything below 2nd place.

I think it depends on whether or not Newkirk starts playing better and if not does Crean do what needs to be done. 

11-7. Worst case. 15-3 best case.

12-6. Losses at Michigan, at Maryland, at Purdue, at Minnesota and Wisconsin twice.

Somewhere between 13-5 and 12-6. Losses @UMD, @Mich, @Wiscy, @Iowa and @Pur. 

Another loss mixed in could be @OSU or home to PU.

I can't see IU losing to pu at home. The atmosphere will be crazy and pu will get in foul trouble. I could see losing to Wiscy at home though.

Granted the competition hasn't been the best, but just put the PU game down as a maybe in case Swanigan goes beast mode on us. He looks like a man among boys right now, and PU is playing really well. They're going to be tough.

I think that Purdue is quite good, but we are a really good match-up with them.

Seems to me that Purdue is a daunting opponent when Haas and Swanigan can really get going, and with Haas that is far from a given. Purdue's weakness is perimeter defense and quickness. We have two really, really good options to defend Swanigan; Juwan especially seems tailor made for it.

Haas is a feast or famine player; dominates the teams that can't keep him off the block, and looks extremely awkward when he's kept off the block. TB and especially DeRon have the strength to avoid being overwhelmed by him. If we can turn their perimeter players into primary offensive options, I am optimistic.

 

[HoosierAloha]

Agree they'll be tough but they'll fall in the Hall. Haas will be out of the game early and IU will outrebound them. If they go crazy from deep they'll have a chance. I think IU takes it by 8+

Iu will not lose at home period. They will be 9-0

Not sure this is the best place for this but didn't find a better spot either. Sorry if it needs to be moved.

I did one more look at the schedule and I think we 16-2 is possible but 15-3 or 14-4 more likely. I find it hard to believe we would be any lower than 14-4. Just way to much fire power on this team to lose much.

13-5. We aren't the same team defensively that we were last year (at least yet). If we can get there, the sky's the limit.

14-4------no losses at home---share the BIG title with tbd.

Gotta love his optimism. Always wrong, but surely optimistic.

Jeckel and Hyde! I say we beat Louisville out of frustration and lose to Wiscy at home!
