I remember in 2011 Duke won the Maui and got destroyed at Ohio State a couple days later. I think it puts teams at a disadvantage but with IUs conditioning it may not affect them at all.

I don't really think it's the conditioning though. It takes about a week to adjust to the time change and they'll be doing it twice.

I came up with 41 also. I counted all games figured 3 in big 10 tourney and 6 in ncaa.

Cool same thing then. The new Byes in the Big Ten Tourney made me unsure.

Explains the cut above the eye. Troy is trying to take out the whole team.

"Ferrell has started all 102 of his college games. He’s fit enough to have handled the wear and tear from averaging more than 32 minutes a game, tough enough to shrug off a practice head butt from Williams to arrive at Big Ten media day with a bandage over his right eye."

Joe Lunardi's pre-season final four prediction includes the Hoosiers.

That's exciting!!!! Being involved in F4 talk is never a bad thing.

He's the only one of all ESPN analysts though.

Better than none right? We could use a little optimism around this place! ;)

I wasn't expecting anybody to predict the Hoosiers to be in the final four, so I will take it. Not that it matters much but I like that we were mentioned.

Here is everyone's predictions on ESPN.

While I get the Izzo thing, surprised 3 of them picked MSU to win the National Title.

Dick v final 4 was predictable lol.

[Hoosier Roots 725]

Wow, Dino Guadio has Purdue in his final four

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

I only trust Andy Bottoms' brackets. But, I will gladly accept being part of pre-season Final Four talk. Whoop whoop!

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,939]

I am bullish on Purdue this year too. Once they get Hammons they are pretty well stacked. Missing a legit point guard but they can definitely make noise.

One of my most cringeworthy posts. Sorry guys.

pUKe only getting picked by two analysts to win it all shocked me as well. I bet Cat fans are wondering where the love is.

[Kepner 1,261]

So many picking UNC, will they be punished at all for all the crap they've pulled over the years? Seems like ESPN is trying to block out the investigation 

[Dalton26 16,891]

I don't think UNC will get anything.

[LIHoosier 25,018]

Dick v final 4 was predictable lol.

What does he have? A Duke vs pUKe best of 7?

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,939]

Vitale is biased for sure but he's not wrong. Putting your picks on UK and Duke is a winning strategy as of late. He would be that way towards us if we won regularly. He was that way for Coach Knight when we were winning.
