Episode 3: B1G Predictions, Preseason Accolades

Welcome back, listeners!

We appreciate you listening to our podcast. If you have any suggestions to make this podcast better, leave a comment here or on Facebook. T.J. and I are always looking to get better and make the most interesting podcast we can make.

Check out Episode 3 HERE!!!

On Episode 3 of the BIG Heartland Basketball Podcast, T.J. and I dive into our predictions for the B1G standings and give our insight on who will make the B1G First, Second, Third and All-Freshman teams, as well as the Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year and Coach of the Year.

In addition to this episode, T.J. and I thought it would be fun to include weekly games that we'll pick. At the end of the season, we'll see who picked better than the other. We decided on 5 games per week, choosing 1 IU game, 1 Nationally televised game, 1 other Indiana school's game and 2 other B1G games. Especially for these early games, I also decided to put a betting line on these games. These lines were made up by me and do not at all align with any betting service. We didn't have time to include those picks in the podcast this time, so I will include those here. Enjoy!

IU game: Indiana State @ IU (-18.5)
National game: Texas A&M v. West Virginia (-4.5)
Other Indiana game: Ball State @ Dayton (-5.5)
Other B1G game: Minnesota @ Providence (-1.5)
Other B1G game: Yale @ Wisconsin (-8.5)

T.J. = IU (-18.5), WVU (-4.5), Ball St. (+5.5), Minnesota (+1.5), Wisconsin (-8.5)

Jonathan = Indiana St. (+18.5), WVU (-4.5), Dayton (-5.5), Minnesota (+1.5), Yale (+8.5)

T.J. = 3-2, Jonathan = 2-3
