I didn't want to start a new thread, so I'll put this here . Bart Torvik has put together is VERY early predictions for the 2020-2021 basketball season, and he's picking ISU to finish 3rd in the conference again with an 18-11 overall record (11-7 in the MVC).

He also put together some individual statistical projections, which I find interesting. Key is projected to lead the team in scoring (shocker), but LaRavia is projected to finish at 12 and 8 per game. I think he might be a little light on Tre's projections and possibly too bullish on Cooper's, but overall this kind of makes sense.

I suppose it's good to see some analytical simulations that show we aren't expected to take a step back this year.
Interesting. At first, I thought 12 out of Jake may be too low but I forgot we essentially recruited two upperclass scorers. I think Jake has the potential to be an 18-20ppg scorer easily, especially since times he got that this year it was offense that didn't run through him -- rebound put backs, etc.
I'd certainly be happy with another Top 3 finish provided it feels like we have a good shot for postseason play.
