Lol at Purdue being ranked 24th.  We have a better team on paper and it's not close.

These guys are clowns.

Those rankings should provide plenty of motivation for this team.

We will have plenty of chances to move up the rankings....

We play a lot of teams that are ranked or at least receiving votes.... we have to prove it on the court but my hopes are high.

Preseason Rankings of teams we play: 4, 10 (twice), 19 (twice), 24 (twice), 27, 30, 31, 32, 39, 43

Meh, who really cares. Being just outside the Top 25 is probably better at this point. This team is young and has a lot of questions to answer. Talented and a ton of potential, but games are won on the court.

Hopefully at the end of that game or even mid way through we can start the “2nd tier victory” chant at home. That would piss off some PU fans.

I saw a few weeks back that someone (can't remember exactly if it was a single "expert" or a media entity) had Carsen Edwards as the No. 2-ranked player in the country. I did a double-take on that on. I mean, there's no doubt the kid's good, but No. 2 in the country? I'm not seeing that.

If he is it’s a very, very weak year for college basketball. But on the flip side their expectations are high and they will be disappointed. Win win

That fan poll vote through March Madness had Carsen in the Final Four for POY vote. Also had Happ and Morgan as well.

Carsen was also the number 1 seed in the entire bracket.

Look, I don't care if he is the best player or second best player in the country...he's one player.  They lost 4 starters and are not a top 25 team.

I love these pre-season polls. So much always changes. Just look at last year. I bet Nevada, Loyola-Chicago, Texas Tech, K-State were nowhere near the pre-season top 25 last year and all had great years!

I'll throw out a few predictions. Teams that won't finish in the top 25: Purdue, UCLA, Florida St, Clemson. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,529]

I don’t know how Purdue is ranked preseason top 25. They lost 4/5 of their starting lineup. They’ll be like Wisconsin last year

[Myrmidon76 614]

Michigan without Wagner is going to be interesting to watch. When he wasn't on the floor, they were just trying to hang on. I'll be curious to see how they adjust to their new roster.

[NRT137 316]

IMO we could go without a loss until conference season except for Duke

Good call

I thought this as well. Did my yearly preseason schedule W-L prediction and felt very strongly we would go 10-1 or 9-2 before conference. Would be interested in a thread conversation about this.

Not surprised IU is 28. Very rarely do teams who miss the NCAA and NIT start the season ranked. A lot of unknown and a chip on their shoulder!! I do agree Purdue at 24 is crap. Carsen will ball for them and that's it. 

[Ranger78 1,293]

Not surprised with the ranking. And I think IU beats Duke this year.

Looking forward to seeing how this all works out this year...

I'll bet whatever you want that we don't beat Duke at Cameron. We'll need to be about 15 points better to beat them there.

Lol - we will see. You're probably right. I do think Teddy V has retired, so at least we don't have that to deal with. Tough road for sure... How much money do you have? Just curious ... whatever you want is pretty encompassing...
