[FortWayneHoosier]

How far does this team go and what will their record be overall, but also what will their big ten record be. Go!

This is Tom Crean's most well rounded team he's had at Indiana.

Back to Back B1G Champions
Elite 8 or better

[WayneFleekHoosier]

11-2 non conference

12-6 big ten record

Tough to predict this team because of injuries and role players expecting to step up.

Non-con:  11-2 (lose both big neutral site games)

B1G:  13-5 (good for top 3)

24-7 heading into BTT, win one lose one 25-8

Non-con neutral site losses leave us with no signature wins away from home.  We enter the NCAAT with a higher seed than our record would indicate because of a poor SOS and RPI.  We lose in the Sweet 16, again.

Hard to tell with the announcement of Collin, Freddie, and Morgan injuries/recovering. 

 

We're losing a major piece to the puzzle, Yogi. With Collin done for the season more than likely, we're going to need a new leader to step up. The one thing that worries me is the injury problems. We all know James, Josh, Tommy, Davis, Morgan, and now Freddie are all extremely injury prone. We're going to need our freshman to step up this season off the bench, stay healthy, establish who runs the PG best, and of course move the ball. 

I'm going to guess we finish 4th in the B1G with a second round exit in the NCAA. I'll come back and revise this come January. I'm glad we're getting tested by Kansas on our first game, gives us a good indicator on where this team is and could become.

Injury prone is having multiple injuries or just an injury?

I think I am less worried about losing Yogi than most.  Crean has had a top 10 offense without Yogi, he had one with Verdell Jones III.Yeah we are losing his scoring, but we are gaining JBJs scoring in the backcourt.   Besides Yogi was what our 5th leading scorer his freshmen year we had a top 3 offense. 

2012 - 10

2013 - 3

2015 - 9

2016 - 6

Honestly looking by those numbers our offense is better when the PG isn't a focal point of the offense. 

 

Gonna go with

11-2 Non Conference

14-4 Conference

2-1 BTT

Sweet Sixteen exit.

Sweet sixteen exit? Care to elaborate I think this team can go further

I think this team can do better also.  Just not willing to predict it.  I think our week SOS will come back to bite us again with a poor seeding in the tournament and then there are other factors that I think will hold us back.  I hope I am wrong though.

Some head scratchers early, and big success in the tourney.

10-3
12-6

Minimum Final 4

More in the sense of being more 'likely" to get injured based on previous injuries.  Sorry for the confusion.

Wasn't sure how likely Tommy, Davis, and McSwain are to injury. Just though Davis and McSwain were nicked up.
