4 Seed. I think that should actually be low for us. I see us as at least a 4, & if we win the B1G, we could be a 1. Tom Crean will be coach of the year if IU is a 2 seed. IMO the center spot is only filling a small need. They have to learn how to play defense. I've also seen some early rankings that do not mention us.

A 1 seed? Wow. A jump from a 9 seed one and done to a 4 seed is pretty big, especially considering that we don't have a starting PG and don't add much talent on paper. I would project us in the 3-4 range IF we landed Swanigan and another PG like Octeus. If we landed one or the other, maybe in the 5-6 range, and if we land neither, I think we are in the 8- bubble team range again. Should be an interesting year.

If we landed Swanigan and keep Aj I feel quite comfortable saying a 3-4 seed is a given. Pj can run the show at point I have little doubt he was a freshman. As for Indiana I can see 4-5 ish but 2????? For real, like you said Crean should be NCOY if that happens.

IU will be a 5 at best. They don't have "team" players. They all are worried about their numbers and not winning.

If we land Swanigan I think we could be a 1 seed, we return essentially everyone from a 3rd place team and add a burger boy. Conference champ is getting a 1 seed in the tourney.
Not out of the realm

Put down the kool-aid and back away. At least let them play the
exhibition games before you pencil our names into the final four please.

Didn't say Final Four, just that if we land a certain player it's not out of the realm this team should be 'competing' for a league title next year.
Conference champ will get a 1 seed.

As proven this year, and what I said before the season started, there's not enough balls in Bloomington and with the addition of the new guys, all wanting to go to the show, coupled with Lil' Yogi who wouldn't share it this year, coupled with the fact that they don't get alone with each other and still having Little Lord Fauntleroy as the coach.....it's not going to be pretty.
