So, you had them with a losing Big 10 record, with most of their conference wins over the bottom feeders in the league? Did you also think Miller needed a really good 4th year just to get to an overall Big 10 winning percentage of .500? And you acknowledged that the 20 win season would only be achieved by playing non-con cupcakes?I had them as a middle pack BIG10 team where they would win 20+ games and make the tournament, which considering they already had 20 wins (and were a tourney lock) before the rest of the BIg10 tournament got cancelled I was pretty much right on point.
IU has had some bad basketball players over the past few years, those players are no longer on the roster. IU nabbed one of the top recruiting classes in the BIG10 as well to go with an improved TJD, Phinesee, Hunter ect...
Also, I'm not a perpetually negative person and I'm actually rooting for the team to succeed unlike some here. Obviously Archie/IU need a breakout year this year and based on the roster I think they get it.
I'm also sure that if IU turns it around posters like you and smitty will be nowhere to be found.
Strange that you believe people who have higher expectations for the program than you do are nonetheless not “rooting for the team to succeed”. Can you walk us through your logic on why you claim you support the program more but expect less?
