Transfer: I know I'd get to play, but how much do your fans enjoy transfers?
Fred: Here's exhibit A. This is a thread solely dedicated to transfers that has more posts than the portal has names.

I was completely underwhelmed when I read about the Woodson hire - then came the part about Matta being in the IU administration. Instantly turned to intrigued by how this might play out.

Go Big Fred reacted to hhcmatt in 2021-2022 expectations
Outcomes shape fan expectation and attitude. Does attitude or expectation determine outcomes? Like, if I think we're going 18-12 next year instead of 12-18 are we going to win more games?
Previously your post was essentially code for 'we need to fire someone if we don't win'. Who needs to go if we don't win in the Hoiberg era?

It may be possible that we have different definitions of "expectations."
Do I hope we can put together a cohesive squad, run through the Big Ten gauntlet with a top 7 finish? Absolutely. And my flight will already be booked after Selection Sunday.
Based on the information we have now, do I expect us to finish 7th? No.

I learned my lesson after being excited about Shamiel’s blistering 100% on 3’s as a sophomore.

This should mean that we will not be picked to finish 14th in the preseason Big Ten media poll.

That would be the ultimate test, right? If that guy puts on a scarlet jersey with an "N" on it, does he get away with all the pushing and hip checking that he did wearing PSU colors?

I'm sure that if he stays a while we can bring that percentage down.

Go Big Fred reacted to 49r in 2020-2021 KenPom Rankings Thread
Well, another year is in the books, and it was a mostly terrible one. Massively shortened by covid, we put a team out there that had essentially zero Big Ten playing experience against the deepest, oldest, most talented, highest ranked Big Ten conference ever. Possibly the best college basketball conference in the history of the NCAA, and I honestly don't think that's hyperbole. I could easily see us finishing in the top half of a mediocre conference like the Pac 12 or Big East this year.
We started off the season without Eduardo Andre (covid) and Derrick Walker (suspension), and just as we got those two back, we had to pause for almost a month while the rest of the team and some coaches fought through covid.
We had our top scorer get suspended for violating team rules and subsequently leave the team to focus on his future.
We played 14 games in 30 days - a feat that on its face is an incredibly Herculean task for anyone, let alone college student athletes - and despite all those hurdles we saw the team make improvements in leaps.
Our shooting improved throughout the season, our assists and rebounds significantly improved and we were never really blown out except for games on the road against the 4th and 7th best teams in the nation.
We started the season ranked #117, dropped as low as #130 after the loss at home to Wisconsin, rose to as high as #91 after throttling Rutgers at home and finished up the year at #93. It's a small step, but it's a trend in the right direction. If we do in fact bring the core of this team back next year, one could see how great strides can be taken further down the path of where we want to be.
This is going to do it for KenPom updates for this season, as always it's been a pleasure to put this together. Hopefully next year there will be more reasons for me to update more frequently! 😁 But with all that said, and without further delay...

Go Big Fred reacted to hhcmatt in uneblinstu's postgame chatter: vol 13; ed 26 - Big Ten Tournament vs. Penn St.
Hoiberg came out and said unprompted that the core of the team is coming back. Let's hope it's a couple of more pieces + experience in a hoiball offense + not playing a NBA schedule = .500+ in the conference
