I would say it most seasons.... Not this year, this year they are legit... but most seasons they would be mid to bottom of a decent P5 Conference...

9 B1G teams currently ranked in the AP top 25.

IU is not one of them.

We definitely have an uphill battle to finish in the top half of the conference this year.

We're pushing two years now since our last appearance. Won't be easy ever getting ranked again, because we play such ugly basketball and no longer get reputation votes.

Cut him some slack.  It’s been quiet.  Who doesn’t like to preemptively lump people into a thought process in your own head, just so you can argue with yourself on a public forum?  You haven’t lived until you have tried.

Last team we had that was worth a damn and played consistent was Yogi's last year.  AM now has a full roster of his own players and we are just as inconsistent as when he first got here. Hunter and Phinny have shown such little improvement since joining. AM has failed to recruit sharp shooters. His teams lack the ability to shoot FT and his recruiting seems to be solely reliant on hitting on an Indiana kid or two...when that fails there seems to be no real options. Its fair to wonder if 9-10 i the conference is around our peak with a ranking between 30-40. That's a bubble team which is what we look like.

How does Wiscy ever lose at the Kohl Center?  It's laughable how games are officiated in that building. 

[Uspshoosier]

Minny up 20 with 3 min to go in the first half 

[HoosierDYT]

Holy cow. MSU is 4-31 shooting down 20 to Minnesota with the first half almost over

Both times defender in the circle. Made it easy for the refs.

Maryland is gonna pull it off.

Man o man the B1G!

Davidson was outside the arc but he was basically doing the splits. Shocked they called that though.

Davidson wasn’t in the circle. Bardo was wrong as usual.

I guess missing a ton of FTs and not getting the typical Kohl Center calls in the second answers that question.

Look who finally gets it...although everyone else has been saying this for 5+ years now.

Is Izzo throwing games? They were awful vs NW and even worse against Minny.

[Stuhoo]

Wow.

47-21 Minny over MSU

and Izzo rockin the Rudy Guiliani hair dye showing on the scalp look.

If it holds up, I can hear Izzo in the post-game doing a Coach K impersonation "we shouldn't be playing".   And Jeff Capel of Pitt fell in line with Coach K today with that same whine.

Buckle up it’s going to be a bumpy ride in the B1G this year.   A lot of people are going to be mad at the end of the year when some B1G teams make the tourney with a losing record in conference.

Is this going to be our excuse for Archie after going 5-15 in conference? ESPN has us going 10-10. So I guess that's a positive right?
