Interesting, I would sign up for that immediately. I'm excited to see what this team can do. Wait, this doesn't count as an SI jinx right??

No, it is actually a jinx on Wisconsin, claiming they will win the conference outright easily. I do remember everyone thinking MSU was gonna walk away with the conference last year......just saying.

We should have beaten Wisconsin last year. We will get them this year.

Absolutely, two times.

I think they got Iowa and Nebraska confused.

One prediction for 3rd, another for 4th. Sign me up for that right now. Getting lots of love... Now it's time for the team to go out and DO IT.

I would rather be 3rd than to be last team in conference.

I was the only B1G Media dude who put White on his first team ballot...SI has him as their third highest rated player in the B1G SO THERE!

You the man, Jon, this is a totally positive thread. Something is in the air.....

 

[jacknicholson]

No negative waves about the Hawkeye Basketball Team......

I hope like heck they're right, but isn't SI rather infamous for their erroneous predictions?

Correct, the jinx only applies if you are on the cover. 3rd is perfect.

I'm questioning a prediction that shows Woody plays the 4. In fact nobody in the BIG is lacking a center on their teams. Maybe nobody plays center anymore and I didn't notice. I like the rank for the Hawks. Any chance we can bank it now and get ready for the tournament.

So you work for SI now?

My experience has been to NEVER take anything SI says with any kind of
Seriousness. They're really horrible at prognostications

They're good with Swimsuit model selection though :-0

We should be 2nd, if not 1st with ball hog gone. White going ape crazy this year.

I agree. With Basabe gone the ball will get distributed around much more. All joking aside there was nothing I hated more than running back and forth while a guard stood out front holding the ball. After a while you have tendency to say screw that and stop running the baseline and cutting through the lane and you stand there and watch the guard hold the ball or dribble it in this case out on the perimeter. Dev did have a tendency to do this on a regular basis.

Whars Herby? He would have wrote that Englishman would bodyslams B1G for best defensive player of the year.

 

[PCHawk]

Did they do a prediction on where we would finish if we had ISU's schedule?
