IU ranked No. 4 in preseason poll

IU enters the 2015-16 college basketball season as the No. 4 team in the country, according to Lindy’s Sports’ college basketball preview. The Hoosiers — sitting behind Maryland, North Carolina and Kentucky — are projected to finish second in the Big Ten.

The publication has lofty expectations for the Hoosiers as a team, as well as individually.

Yogi Ferrell and James Blackmon Jr. are preseason first-team All-Big Ten selections. Troy Williams is on the second team, and Thomas Bryant is a third team all-conference pick.

Lindy’s ranks Ferrell as the No. 4 point guard in the nation, Blackmon Jr. as the No. 6 shooting guard and Williams as No. 6 small forward in the country.

The magazine projects IU to be a Final Four team with Big Ten foe Maryland winning the national 
championship.

IU is expected to be a top-15 team in the AP preseason poll, after failing to break the top-25 in 2014 and losing to Wichita State in the round of 64.
