2022-23 Prediction League - Game 18 at Illinois Thu 1/19/23 8:30pm FS1

Recommended Posts

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

We aren't as bad as the team that lost to Penn State (Hard to overcome 18 3's).  We aren't as good as the team that beat Wisconsin (Down year and best player out).  We aren't as good as we were earlier in the year when we were ranked.  So how do we stack up against Illinois?

The team that Woody built is a wreck right now.  Thompson and Johnson are out and the bench has been stripped to plug in the holes in the starting lineup.  That leaves us with a weaker starting lineup and a bench that isn't going to contribute much.  We have two senior leaders on the bench.  We are down to only one consistent rebounder.  It is not a good place to be.  As for the "Next man up" philosophy,  that doesn't work very well when the bench hasn't shown much growth since the start of the season.  Sometimes s*** just happens and there isn't much you can do about it.

So Indiana, a poor road team, goes off to Illinois to face a team that is still intact.  This is a game the November Hoosiers would have won, but this is January.

The good news is I think we might win our next three despite everything.

Hoosiers 68

Illini  75
