Championship game - 5:30pm ESPN
3rd place game - 3:00pm ESPN2
5th place game - 8:30pm ESPN2
7th place game - 11:00am ESPN2

How this works!!!

Each game I will create a Prediction League thread for the upcoming game.

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

Bump, God help us if you can't beat a middling team that literally has to sleep and play immediately.

Indiana isn't very good right now.  They lack focus and cohesion.  I'm seeing bad chemistry.  Hard to be a good team when almost every player on the team seems to think they are the best player on the team.  

Win or lose this should be an interesting game just to see what Woody is going to do.  He could stick to his starting lineup and try to get the guys to work through their problems.  Or, he could start assigning pine time.  Throw the ball away, take wild shots, miss the open man, not box out, forget to play defense, or whatever else that hurts the team means that you sit and think about what you have done.  On a team that is supposed to be deep, I'd go with the second approach.  Nothing is guaranteed and you earn your minutes.

No guarantees this morning.  Should we beat Providence?  Yes.  If not this could be a very long season and we are back in the hunt for a coach.

    Indiana starts slowly, throws the ball away, doesn't defend or go after the loose ball and fades.  Providence is worse.  Their coach is 6.5 and in his 30's, has other college-level experience...B-town's coach is not in his 30's and ...never mind.  

 Woodson....stares/glares...fading...gone.
