Sagarin had them rated as the 217th best team last year, 3 spots below Ball State. So for means of comparison, kind of look at what Ball State did last year. The Cardinals lost but hung with some top notch schools: non-conference: lost to Butler by 16 lost to Wis Milw by 7 lost to Georgetown by 9 lost to Evansville by 1 lost to St. Joseph's (PA) by 11 lost to Valpo by 13 lost to Purdue by 13 lost to Indiana St by 11 lost to Arkansas St by 10 lost to UC Santa Barbara by 27 lost to Illinois State by 16 beat IUPUI FW by 7 lost to Eastern Kentucky by 3 We're a big school, but I'd say we're at a mid-MAC level talent wise to start the year given our incredible inexperience. I hope we get a double digit win, but I'm concerned about simply winning the game. |

I'm giving IU the '\of the doubt of having players that would have at least been playing above the Southland conference (NW St.'s conference). I mean, they didn't just get beat last year, they got throttled by a few schools. The one thing I did notice is that one of their main players was 6'9. Home court plus what I would assume to be better talent (even if its inexperienced) plus better coaching should add up to a win. It'll probably be alarmingly close, but this team shouldn't be very good. But then again, they return their entire team, so who knows. This whole season is going to be a clusterfuck trying to figure out who is going to win games. This may be the hardest set of predictions to make that I've ever tried to make. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

I think that it will get a whole lot easier to predict the games as the season progresses. |

I say IU by 14. 76-62. I am just happy to get basketball season started even if it will be lots of misery this year, but I think we will pull out the win tomorrow. |

IU by 3 (72-69). First game jitters, Northwestern's deep team wears IU down and makes it close. We do play Northeastern on Dec. 22nd. |
