“My thing is I like to get a team in position first before we start chasing the big boys.” That was Mike Woodson a year ago when asked about his philosophy on putting together a nonconference schedule. The schedule Woodson designed in year one reflected that sentiment of not rushing into tough games before his team was ready.  The Hoosiers faced the high-majors they contractually had to — St. John’s, Syracuse and Notre Dame — and the rest of the nonconference slate involved mid and low major foes. But Woodson was in no mood to afford the same luxury of…

According to odds published by BetOnline.ag, only 11 teams have better national…
