not with all the one bid leagues. We know Monmouth, Arkansas Little Rock, Stephen F Austin and UAB are good teams. Yet could lose in their conference title games by a 90 footer at the end and go straight to the NIT. That makes the regular season meaningless. Those 4 should make the tourney either way. They're better than the bottom teams that are getting in for power conferences. But instead their season is just 3-4 games long. The rest of the season is just fluff.

they are entrenched into a system that makes the regular season meaningless.

yea.. I think they could be moved. Like right before conference play starts. Before the New Year. Then the auto bid for conference goes to the team that put in the work over 18 games and not 3. Like the Ivy League.

Personally I find conference tournaments to be the biggest joke in the sport.

Great 2nd half by our guys. Which is good. Wish we'd start better though. Played better without Williams tonight it seemed.

Steph Curry just hit a 3 in this thread.

They will. And not a bad TO. Just wandering if anyone has their sarcasm goggles on lol.

And Troy turns it over again!.... LOL

We looked like poopy in the first half.

ok cool. Vic's improvement was half a season while Cody was great all season. Cody was with ease the best player on the team arguably a Top 15 player of all time in IU history. Cody had a bigger impact on the team. Not by a ton but enough. But because of Vic's improvement the media catered more to him. The media put down Cody any chance they could.

We saw what we were without really good Victor the year before. Still a good team. Without Cody... Indiana wouldn't have made the tourney Vic's Sophomore year.

And Curry goes for 51 on the Magic...

And? He averaged 17 and 8. Without him then Indiana is average at best.

I'd rather have Bill Walton calling this game. I don't really care about what's going on. I can see it. I'm not listening to the radio. Can we get Bill Walton, Jeff Van Gundy and Bill Simmons to do a game? Please?

And OG and Morgan are just chilling on the bench.

Illinois was smart. Troy isn't good at defense and they went right at him.

Uhh what? Niego in for Williams?

With Robert Johnson out... gotta have everyone step up...

That'll develop eventually. NBA teams won't be worried about that. He makes basketball look too easy. Amazing vision and great athlete. That's what NBA teams are looking at. I'm hoping he goes to the T'Wolves or Celtics. The shot will come as he gets into the gym with NBA coaches. He doesn't need to put on any weight either.

He is passive because that's how he was taught to play. They don't coddle younger players in a garbage AAU system in Australia like they do here. Younger players there are taught to defer to older players.

Yes! I love Bill! Bill, Jeff Van Gundy, Charles, Shaq, Ernie Johnson, Reggie...

I go to Game World to get cheap classics. Play NCAA Football 2005 for GameCube all the time.

Brandon Ingram is so long and lanky.... but he's so good.

If it was going to be anyone off Indiana it'd have to be Cody.. but instead Cody continually got slammed by the media.
