Is Seton Hall really good? 

Made the tourney the last 2 years, top 3 scorers returning, on several pre-season top 25 lists, and Eron Gordon ;)

A true road game on top of it makes it just that more difficult.

Ahh yeah that's not promising. I hadn't really paid attention to the dates so I didn't realize the game was so early in the season (the "Gavitt Tipoff Games" title should've clued me in). Hopefully Archie and the guys are ready to be thrown into the fire right away.

Considering how many times I yelled messages of encouragement to Eron over the years of his visiting IU, I feel like I should really be there.

On the other hand, New Jersey.

2/28 - 3/04 B1G Tournament @ Madison Square Garden

Pap sleeping on watch again. Think I have everything all squared away now.

Eastern Michigan? Crean got fired just in time. He'd be sh*tting his pants in the days leading up to that game. They play 2-3 zone and I think their coach is a former Syracuse assistant. They also have a big man that had quite a few high major offers but was passed up because of off-court trouble. That game would have had Eastern Washington/LIU-Brooklyn potential if Crean was still here.

[LIHoosier]

Per ITH, hosting Youngstown St on Dec 29. Ranked KP 282, RPI 256

Here are our home/away opponents in B1G play. We don't play Purdon't twice. Michigan St twice is a toughy.

Other than MSU thats a pretty lucky draw for us.

Good draw but MSU and Bridges will be tough to handle.

Why doesn't the B1G have more respect for the IU-Toiletmaker rivalry! We should play twice every year. It's the best basketball rivalry in the conference. The ACC wouldn't ask Duke and UNC to play just once.

Pretty easy schedule overall 9-9 is doable.

Home and Away:
Illinois (H) - W
Illinois (A) - L
Iowa (H) - W
Iowa (A) - L
Michigan State (H) - W
Michigan State (A) - L
Minnesota (H) - W
Minnesota (A) - L
Ohio State (H) - W
Ohio Stare (A) - W

Away Only:
Michigan - L
Wisconsin - L
Nebraska - L
Rutgers - W

Home Only:
Purdue - W
Maryland - L
Penn State - W
Northwestern - W


10-8
Top half of the B1G
Way too early prediction. This is an optimistic prediction.

When exactly is the Eastern Michigan game we show it as 11/25 but ITH shows it as 11/24?

Mostly agree except I see us getting swept by Mich St and winning either at Michigan or Nebrasketball

I would love to see the B1G use the same divisions for basketball as they do for football... the league could move to a 19 game schedule - home/away with the other 6 teams in their division (twelve games total) and one game each against the teams in the other division (another 7 games, for a total of 19 league games). The NCAA tournament automatic qualifier is decided by the B1G tournament anyway... but the regular season champ could be decided by a one game playoff or by best overall B1G record... that would eliminate the one game situation against one's biggest rivals, and perhaps create new rivalries within the divisions...

 

Going to a home/away schedule will all 13 other B1G opponents is just not practical, given the number of marquis match-ups, pre-conference tournaments, B1G-ACC challenge type scenarios... but the divisional setup could really work.

 

Am I the only one?

That would be interesting. The current divisions would actually be pretty equal in basketball.
