We are back

 

[Cavalot]

Please tell me we won't start losing now. Being ranked seems to be the kiss of death for football or basketball as of late.

We deserve it. Just hope we can keep it.

They will be a slight favorite Wednesday vs. Wisconsin. I think they will win that one as the Badgers haven't played well on the road. But I will be shocked if they win at Illinois.

 

[Ext. 55]

This confirms it. Indiana falls out of the basketball rankings and we jump in. The Simulation is undefeated.

So as BIG 10 play begins, what would be a fair expectation for this team win/loss wise (big 10 record).

13-7 finish - But that's with the expectation that Ugnius Jarausevcius actually does return healthy in 2 weeks, and then remains healthy all season. He's a really important piece that they will desperately need in the Big Ten. Without him, teams will really be able to focus a lot of attention on Frager when Mast and/or Sandfort need to rest. His absence would also mean Garcia will be needed for 12 to 15 minutes in Big Ten games. He will be over exposed if that happens.
