Until our men's basketball program improves I couldn't care less what he does with the other sports (besides football). If he can do good things for them then that's great, but it's not going to make up for a mediocre men's basketball program.

The UNC game was awesome. I was so excited for the season when I was walking home from that game... Then everything went downhill lol. I get that the students are rowdy and louder than the rest of the fans, but there have been numerous games this year that the students just haven't shown up for and left huge holes in the student section. I'm not convinced that attendance would've been much worse without students than it would've been with them. Glass has handled this whole situation terribly and it makes me wonder if he even has a plan or if he's winging it all.

41 tweeted that Georgia Tech would've been the 9th best team we've faced at Assembly out of our 20 home games. Sure it's not the game/tournament we all wanted to be playing in, but it's still a solid matchup. The university doesn't have a problem taking people's money to watch us play the Deleware State's of the world over winter break, but hosting an ACC school over spring break would've just been too much.

If that's the case then people will be able to connect the two and realize that he cancelled the home game because he's too cowardly to face the consequences of his decisions. People wouldn't forget and would add his name next to Crean's on the firing board. I'm not saying this isn't going to happen, but if it does I expect it to bite Glass in the butt big time.

I don't feel personally cheated because I had no plans of going, but theyre cheating the fan base as a whole. Tickets would be cheap and a lot of young kids are on spring break this week. People who normally don't get to watch the Hoosiers in Assembly would have the chance to do so. You and I are mad about this season but an 8 year old kid doesn't care that it's the NIT. Parents would be able to take their kids to a game without spending hundreds of dollars. IU basically told these fans that they're not good enough, they don't want their money, and they would rather not risk looking bad with crappy attendance than let them take in a home game. It was an awful decision by Fred Glass.

If they're not going to accept a home game then what's the point of playing in it in the first place. Just end this miserable season already.

Great game on ESPN right now if anyone wants to forget about this dumpster fire for a bit. Cavs/Rockets in the 4th.

We better win this game, and Georgia better lose, so Glass is forced to host a home game after all. I don't like when people try taking the coward's way out.

Glass isn't doing himself any favors. A month ago we looked crazy for commenting on this thread. Now he's made himself look like an incompetent goof on a national scale.

Y'all this is wild lol. Embarrasing ourselves once again is a fitting end to this season.

I agree about Green, I'm just worried that if Crean is back then he either a) is gone or b) doesn't get the chance. I would feel good if he was our guy though.

I'm worried Juwan is going to fall victim to that next year. Crean's already tried it with him so I could see it happening even more next year. Wouldn't want to set normal positions for your guys or anything crazy like that.

42% from the field and 5.5 turnovers a game lol. He's a great talent but efficiency isn't his strong suit. I think it's more like he does his own thing and Billy coaches the other guys.

Yup. The same problems we've had this year will be back next year, and we won't have as much offensive firepower to try and mask them. No JBJ, no TB, and still no point guard. Ugh.

Justin Smith should be pretty good. He's not a program changer or anything but he'll be solid. All 3 of our recruits seem like they'll be solid in years 3 and 4 but I don't think they'll move the needle much next year.

I like watching this Michigan team.

We only get so much free time so we're going to spend it on things that are enjoyable. IU didn't put an enjoyable product on the court this year, so a lot of fans weren't going to watch it. If they're going to turn the ball over 20 times, chuck up 3s and not play defense for two hours then I'm going to find something better to do.

Same. Fred Glass has a chance to prove to all of us how much he really cares about IU being an elite program. If he keeps Crean that shows me that he lied about everything he said. I'm not being a bandwagon fan. I won't be leaving because we're bad. If Crean stays I'll be leaving because we're bad and the people in charge don't care that we're bad. If the guys making 6-7 figures to control IU basketball don't care, there's no reason for me to either. IU basketball will always be special to me, but the days of watching every game and spending any money on the program would be over.

I like IU, but not enough to stick around and root for garbage teams. If the guys at the top let the fans know that they don't care about winning then neither will I.

One thing's for sure. If Crean is back next year I won't bother jumping on the tank train again. Glass will have let us know that he doesn't care if Crean puts together bad teams that lose a lot of games. There are enough good games out there to watch to fill my free time.

Lol switching it up today?

I know youre joking in this post but I could see some apologists making this argument. For them, we couldn't even make the tournament with this squad so I can't see us being better after he replaces the guys we lose with worse players.

Crean getting 26% of the votes is the real problem. Give fans of Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, etc. our results over the past four years and I think the % who would want the coach back would be very close to 0. Too many fans that are satisfied with mediocrity and being relevant once every now and then. They don't expect excellence in the first place so of course they're not upset when we don't achieve it.

That thing reads like a love letter, yuck.

I'm trying not to get banned lol my real feelings on Glass would get me sent outta town.
