Indiana

[Carmen Ohio]

Does anybody else out there think Indiana is due to make some noise this year. While they only went 4-7 last year, they did a lot of good things. This could be good for Ohio State because Indiana plays Iowa, Michigan State and Michigan at home and might be able to steal one of those games. If they get by Wisconsin (another home game) they could be 6-0 with Iowa coming in, and primed to bump them off. A 7-5 or 8-4 Indiana?

Honestly looking at that schedule, I'd say they start off 4-0, and then its a rough and depressing ride back to reality where they may not win another game. The best chance after the UConn game is Purdue.

Even the UConn game isn't a given. At least it's at Bloomington, which is like playing at a neutral site...

[NFBuck]

Start 4-0, loose 7 of final eight = 5-7

[Bucks07]

I think they start off 4-0, but they definitely lose to Wisky, Iowa, Ohio State, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Michigan. Thats 4-6, with toss ups vs. Illinois and Purdue. So, 6-6 at best, more likely 5-7.

I figure they will drop one of those weak OOC games. Enter the Big 10 season 3-1, dreams of making the post-season burning bright. Finish 4-8 having a single win in conference play.

Once the steam runs out of this thread, I'll be merging it with the game discussion thread in the ref locker.

That's my prediction as well. I think they will lose to UConn.

Terry Hoeppner is a great coach so they should probably steal a game or two every year he is there. Unfortunately for them though, the talent level will never be enough to beat the Big 3.

Do you think that the fans would believe that Indiana could win 3 conference games?
