Best case scenario for IU this season (12-18)...

Non-Conference (6-6):

Easy wins:
Northwestern State
Northeastern
TCU

Likely wins:
Lipscomb
Chaminade (Maui 3rd Rd)

Toss-ups:
IUPUI
Cornell

Likely loss:
St. Josephs (Maui 2nd Rd)

Certain losses:
Notre Dame
Wake Forest
Gonzaga
Kentucky

Conference Play (6-12):

Winnable home games:
Iowa
Northwestern
Penn State
Michigan
Minnesota

Winnable road game:
Penn State

Likely home losses:
Illinois

Likely road losses:
Iowa
Illinois
Northwestern
Minnesota

Certain home losses:
Ohio State
Wisconsin
Michigan State

Certain road losses:
Purdue
Michigan State
Wisconsin
Ohio State

Worse case scenario 7-8 wins, with a couple home non-conference losses, no true road wins (only 1 neutral court win), only 2-3 conference home wins.

The measure for success for IU this season will have to be something other than wins and losses.

I don't think IU Fans should dwell on wins and losses this year. A better barometer for the the future of IU BB will be how well Coach Crean can develop and mold this years team considering the talent level that he has been left with.

If they can compete with the competion and display team unity and skill improvement...this will go a long way.

Wins arent as important as dicipline and good sound basketaball

I don't know about every award in the country, but if he manages to be over .500, he's got Big Ten Coach of the year in the bag.
