WayneFleekHoosier Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 How much do we want to bet if IU hosted and 3,000 people showed up people would of trashed IU also. I also think IU maybe should of hosted but don't have a strong opinion either way. However, from an IU perspective they were gonna be criticized either way but after game as oppose to before.Disagree. Administration should have lowered prices to fill the building.Problem solved.

Yes why did Glass have to make this more difficult? The fans would have shown up to show appreciation and support had this exact scenario happened Alford Bailey 1 Quote

I think the bigger problem here is people are looking for anything to criticize the program for right now given the state of what where it's at. That falls on Glass and Crean and that is 100% their fault for letting it get to this point. The criticism of not hosting an NIT game is anger placed at the larger issue at hand and this is the easy thing to throw it at right now. Deserthoozier and HoosierAloha 2 Quote

I agree, he is getting criticized for everything he does at this point because he won't fire Crean. At this point the decision to play at home or away is just another brick in the wall. Personally, I see the decision to not play at home a slap in the face to fans that have supported this program for decades. WayneFleekHoosier, Josh and HoosierAloha 3 Quote

Small side thought. Who is PAYING for our team to travel? Are we footing our own travel expenses as well? It's a moronic cowardice decision to which there were many solutions.

I'm sure if IU had a smaller on campus arena they would jump at that and the new replacement for U-Gym would be an ideal solution starting in 2020 when it opens for this situation. However, right now IU has no where on campus you can host a basketball game at this moment besides Assembly Hall. Certainly being at U-Gym and the Field house a ton I can tell you those cannot host basketball games anymore. Neither can Wildermuth. Quote

Different fan base that is in town all yr. Women will draw 2,000 whether its regular season or WNIT and not affected by break and that's expected. If the men drew even twice that people would laugh. Different situations. Quote

JSHoosier Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 A poster on 247 dropped hints on a rumored soft landing for Crean. Not difficult to figure out. He'll get owned if that happens. Quote
KYHoosier Posted March 14, 2017 Posted March 14, 2017 Although it would be terrible PR for IU basketball, I would love if the players came together and decided that they would not travel and play in the NIT team game tomorrow due to the idiotic decision made by glass and bball staff. If I'm a player on the team my mindset right now is, "If the administration and coaching staff quit on us, then why shouldn't we quit on them?" Kepner 1 Quote
