[BtownBanner6 1,298]

I put $100 on Rutgers to win it all.  Got good odds though!  ;)

Would've payed out big.

Should be conference favorites (again!) next year. ESPN also has us way-too-early #8 right now. UNC, UVA, Kansas, and Kentucky are all ahead, all are losing key pieces and will be very young as well so I'm not buying us at #8.

UK is always pre-season top 3 due to recruiting, but I'm not expecting them to be in the "team to beat" conversation with their roster next year. Kansas will win the Big 12 again, get a 1 seed and lose in the 2nd round of the tournament, and they're losing some key upperclassmen. UVA loses Brogden and will be freshmen heavy and UNC loses their key pieces.

With TB coming back IU is a top 3 team next season. Should be a fun year and Big10 title #23 along with a deep tourny run is the expectation.

Dont see how unc could be top 10 next year with losing both paige and johnson. May not even be in the tourney anyways with the whole class thing. So excited for next year!

Just worried that we could have a similar start to last years, where there is a ton of potential to be great but it takes a long time to come together. However, i feel like well be ready to go by tournament time and could get #6!

Good news and smart move by TB. Felt he was coming back all along but figured he would test the waters. We are easy top ten probably top 5 team heading into next year.

I guess drunk Hartman was spot on.

Probably 8-10. Media will be worried about how we respond to Yogi and Troy leaving. Maybe legitimately.

Yea but the media will put Duke and UK 1-2 with basically new rosters. Anyway we should be expected to be very good and will jump into the top 5 with a good start.

I'd say we are the early favorite to win the big again. Mich st will be good but very young.

When did we become the stable B1G team?

It's a Festivus miracle!

Lunardi already has no faith in that this team can do, his early Bracketology has us as a 4 seed.

Lunardi can eat a big bag of *****.

I don't put much stock in Lunardi's opinion...  unless he has us a 1 seed!

[Naturalhoosier 15,407]

What I love most about TB is that he bought into HoosierNation. Guys like Vonleh, while I appreciate their talents, just don't muster up to those who appreciate what we as a fanbase and they as a player hold so dear to our hearts.

Hell, the same goes for Max and Nicky Z. They got it. They understood what the power of being a Hoosier is all about.

Man I am sooooo stoked for next year.

[323SGrant 1,176]

Great to see TB coming back! Hope everybody that's injured heals during the summer.

I work third shift and just got the news and it almost brought a tear to my eye.
