Man I would have to sit that one out on here. Would be rooting against IU lol.

Please tell me you didn't wear duke gear to school this week????

Back to the topic.... I'd like to play Syracuse for some payback but also Virginia or duke would be a fun one

Last year's bracket was announced in early August, along with an on-campus warmup game a week prior.

Hopefully that will be an 100-200 RPI game and not an 300+ RPI game. lol

Hopefully that will be an 100-200 RPI game and not an 300+ RPI game. lol

The 4 teams thrown to the wolves last year were:

 

Cal St Northridge (RPI: 281)

Samford (301)

Ark Little Rock (275)

UMKC (297)

 

Keep in mind this game will be between the B1G/Holy Baller game opening week and a long trip to Hawaii.

Haha I tone it down on the Duke gear out of respect for the IU crowd just like I never defend Duke when people dog on em on here. This is an IU site so not my place to say anything pro Duke back plus I like everyone on here.

My money is on Virginia

I'll cry like a little girl if true. 50 minute drive from my house!

I mean, I'm planning on visiting their law school anyways....might just have to be a coincidence. 

[AKHoosier 6,959]

I hope it's Virginia.

 

I'd like to play a team that I can't ever remember us playing against.

Aren't the matchups predicated on the league standings from this year?

That's what I thought.

[Alford Bailey 12,393]

I could see them giving us UNC since they will be stacked.

We just played though. Don't they try to set unique match ups when they can?

[Alford Bailey 12,393]

Then my next guess is UVa. We wont get an easy one.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,477]

Virginia is most likely, with Duke next, then UNC, then Syracuse.

I don't think we get an easy one.

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,477]

If we hadn't played NCST recently I'd think that one would make sense but the recency effect will likely negate it.

NC ST could be really good next year.

[OliviaPope40 6,543]

I wouldn't want to play Notre Dame. 

[BlueDevil 8,693]

I wouldn't want to play Notre Dame.

They already do in the crossroads right?

[OliviaPope40 6,543]

They already do in the crossroads right?

Correct

[HoosierRich 75]

Most of the "way too early polls" (cbs, sporting news,etc.) have Maryland and MSU as highest ranked B1G teams and Virginia #1 in all of them, so I can't see IU being put against #1 ahead of those teams.....maybe, but I'm betting Duke or NC

[swatford 1,235]

They'll probably pit Duke against Maryland and we'll get UVA unless they want to match them up with another ranked team (OSU?)
