I absolutely loved ESPN back in the day. I spent a crap ton of hours from 2010-2013 on there. Big Ten mailbags, game threads, talking crap to SEC football fans. And I actually still keep in touch with those SEC fans on another site that one of them created after ESPN shutdown. CBSSPorts was really good too until it closed. Still keep in touch with some of those guys as well... One of them actually just passed away last week. But I found this place because ESPN shutdown. lillurk and RaceToTheTop 2 Quote

It's funny because when you listen to Crean he acts like he's just waiting for the Perfect fit that is on the same page and offers all of the things. etc. You'd think he thinks he's inline for some top 25 program.

That might be what he feels it would take for him to coach again -- which is something that isn't going to happen. He might enjoy his semi-retirement, doing some occasional tv gigs and living off what he made coaching. Nothing wrong with not wanting to live the nomadic life of coaching when you've been there, done that. hoosierbgh 1 Quote

HoosierFan1994 Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 Saw ESPN listed their top 25 today. I think now is the best time to look at it as most rosters are complete. Ours may/may not be. A few things that stand out: 1) I think Kansas is the clear cut #1 team. On paper they are loaded. That game in December at Assembly Hall will be a true measuring stick game for our team this year. That being said..who was the last preseason #1 to win it all. Carolina with Hansbrough and those guys? Florida in '07? Lots of pressure... 2) Really like the next set of teams like Michigan State, Tennessee, UConn, and Duke. UConn really helped themselves returning Newton and getting Spencer. Tennessee I think had a very good offseason with returning guys. Kills me to say this but Knecht is going to help that team so much. They've lacked an elite shooter like him. Michigan State and Duke return the same team for the most part. 3) I think Houston, Gonzaga, Florida Atlantic, Marquette, and Creighton are also in the mix as legit final four contenders. 4) I think there are probably 25-30 teams you could rank from 11-25...Really good for the game. IU could be a 3/4 seed..they could also be an 8/9 seed. A lot of teams adding new pieces. Just so much uncertainty. 5) I love that Purdue is being considered as a top 5 team...these experts not watch the end of last year? I think you have to say they're a top 15 team with a guy like Edey returning. I'm just not impressed with that supporting cast. I think Loyer is the only other player that is a starter on a really good team. The 22-23 Purdue team is by far the most overrated college basketball team of the last 20 years. And I'm not saying that because I'm an IU homer. They had a very good Thanksgiving weekend and an easy B1G Schedule. Edit: LOL they have to include Kentucky on the next list out..IF Bradshaw and Reeves were healthy/returning they are for sure ranked. In fact, I think top 15 good. But I'm not sure they're an NCAA Tournament team right now, especially if Bradshaw is hurt. https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/36058691/2023-24-way-too-early-top-25-men-college-basketball-rankings craigyv88 1 Quote
TheWatShot Posted June 21, 2023 Posted June 21, 2023 I'm not going to gripe too much about a preseason top 25 when it's only June, but I think we're being severely overlooked. Stuhoo, Tasmanian Devil, taco corp and 2 others 5 Quote
