Basketball Season Predictions

I went back and checked, and I was wrong about a lot of stuff regarding last season. However, it looks like just about everyone was wrong about what was going to happen last season.

I believe my money shot was saying we would have the same lineup as 2010, except with a worse center (Before the season, Fran had declared *ugh* Archie the starter). For a full report on how wrong I was, double check this thread. Please repost and laugh as needed.

That thread contained an always hilarious, "We have three players that were on the Freshman all Big Ten team" post.

Geebuz, on a 1 to 100 scale that registers maybe a one.
 


EAT your words! I think they'll exceed your predictions by few games

Your loyalty and enthusiasm are infectious, Atomic. I love how you exercise your right to be positive. I and quite a few others happen to feel the same way......

A positive mindset is very healthy in life. Negativity tends to cast a gloomy outlook on everything and could possibly make someone a drag to be around......

To each his own.....
 


This team will definitely be better but I don't know that their record will show it. 18 wins with Big Ten schedule would be phenomenal.

We have that again this year. Add two top 100 recruits, and our basement is 7th place.

Brusewicz from Wisconsin is out four to six weeks at least after sustaining a severe cut on his lower leg in practice. Its to bad for wisconsin. From the sounds of the injury it might be longer before he is back to 100%.

WTF? Six weeks for a severe cut in practice? Does Bo make them do a machete drill or something? No wonder that kid had to transfer out...

The cut was to the bone and required a hundred and fifty stiches. I guess he ran into the basket support.
 












Define "suck", in this instance, and then I'll wager on you being wrong. I'm not predicting a W/L vs. Iowa but ISU won't suck.
I'm only going to guess that he means in comparison to last year's team...if he doesn't, he may be greatly disappointed come March...

That being said, you're losing on Dec. 7th, 2012...:D
 




Dunno, bro. Will Clyburn, Korie Lucious and Georges Niang are additions best not sneezed at. I hope you're right, though.

They are going to be running a somewhat of a new offense now without White. Easier to match-up against as well now too. They are the Cinderella team this year like they were last year.

Last year's team struggled quite a bit in the non-conference season so it wasn't always a smooth season. I expect this years' team to be an NCAA team but not a lock. Much like I thought at the beginning of last year, actually.

The Iowa game, being on the road, I won't predict as a win. I will predict a dogfight.

If Fred turns ISU into a team that can score consistently this year, I will be very impressed. Because the way that roster looks now, I see a team who lacks good outside shooters and guys who can score inside. I want to see where they are going to get points from now that they don't have Royce to create everything.
