2023-24 Prediction League - Game 7 vs Maryland Fri 12/1/23 7pm BTN

[LIHoosier 26,148]

How this works!!!

Each week I will create Prediction League threads for the weeks game(s).

It's a simple concept:

Each game you start with 100 points (only if a prediction is made, otherwise 0 points for the game)
+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

This will be an ugly game, first true road test, our guards kind of stink right now, XJ healthy?, Geronimo will have the game of his life.

Hope I'm wrong.

.And now it starts to get serious.  Win the first game and you have a one game advantage over half of the conference.  Obvious?  Sure but the opposite is starting the season trying to climb out of a hole.  Must game?  Yes.  In the Big10, if you want to do anything, you need to hold serve.

Thoughts on Maryland:  This is the return of Geronimo.  Couldn't start for us but can for them.  They are 3-3 but lost those three by a total of 9.  They shoot a 3 41% of the time so we better guard the line.  So what's new.  Their defense is better than their offense.  Finally, they aren't considered a tourney team.

Thoughts on IU:  How healthy are we?  Reneau/Johnson has to be better than Cupps/Walker or Banks.  If we lose two starters for this one and play with a shorter bench, how much will we drop off offensively?

Not going to be easy but we SHOULD win this one.  However I might revisit the prediction based on the injury report.
