Indiana: "...pitching staff that brings back 91 percent of its innings from last year..."

Holy smokes!

Looks like all the prognosticators are on the same page. A bit of juggling but the top six are showing up everywhere.

Purdue will be an interesting team to follow. They really came out of nowhere to end the season last year. Would be nice to get a few of those teams out of the cellar and competing this year. Northwestern and PSU seem to be the only lost causes at this point. Rutgers at least gets some talent to compete to some extent.

Purdue is going to be interesting this year b/c they will play four of the preseason top six this year (along with the three worst). Doubly interesting b/c that's the same thing they did last year (going 5-7 vs four of the top six).

Question is, can they string b2b seasons together doing that. They definitely got an upgrade at coaching.
