You get a lot of teams that simply dont want to be there and it shows.

I'm worried that's what we'll see from our guys tomorrow.

Not sure our players could want to be there after giving up the home game. We will see though. Our younger players will play hard.

I wonder how much our AD got paid under the table to deny his hometown fans another home game?

However, the good news for me is that I live in Atlanta.

I have my tickets! Go Hoosiers!

section 112, row 21, look for the red "Sons of Knight" hoodie I'll be wearing

surprised at how many tickets were gone already

Hoosiers all over the country remain IUBB fans. It's pretty damn cool.

Our program right now, not very cool at all.

Just play MSB all 40 minutes...by himself. Give Tech a fighting chance.

I want to see some first half Priller action. MSB gets buckets every time he's on the court.

For what it's worth (which is probably equal to a dog turd)......I think the playing on the road in the NIT was Glass's last gift to CTC.  Kids on spring break, got it..ok.  Hasn't stopped them from scheduling during semester break and filling the Hall against teams who are sub 300 year after year.  If Crean was coming back, why not let him take some (assumed) heat from the fans and give the team a shot at a victory?  On the other hand, if a decision has been made and that game could be the last, why subject CTC to the "passionate" fan base.  Honestly, in this day and age in NCAA, who in the hell turns down a home game?  Where there is smoke, there's fire.  Go Hoosiers!

The stats to prove Crean hasn't met expectations have been thrown out hundreds of times so I won't bore you with them again, but I think most coaches would be able to realize that Crean has been given 9 years to build a top program and has failed to do so. They know he isn't being fired for just one bad season. Besides, any coach that's scared of being held to high expectations isn't a coach that I want anything to do with. 

That's sort of like a fat girl saying if a boy doesn't want her because she's fat, she doesn't want him anyway.

Go IU.  Can't give up on the team no matter how disappointing this season has been.

[JSHoosier 19,975]

So, how does GA Tech play?  Do they try to speed it up or slow it down?  How well do they guard the perimeter?  Are they good defensively in general?

EDIT:  Answered my defense question, they're number 7 in AdjD.  This will be fun.

Lammers is a shot blocking beast.

They generally struggle to score but defend pretty well.

Not super disciplined like other Pastner teams.

I checked KenPom.  7 in AdjD and 193 in Adjusted Tempo, if they were disciplined that's a combination that makes Crean look like an idiot.

I think they will anyway. We don't do well against shot blockers unless 3s are falling. And we don't defend layups too well.

 

Bad recipe.

Fixed that for you.

That scenario gives Tech NO chance!

[IUsafety 2,775]

As disappointed as I am, I'm still cheering for the Hoosiers to win. More than likely we will lose but on paper we will be the most talented team on the floor against any team in the NIT except maybe Syracuse. Our last victory was 20+ points against one of the number one seeds. If the Hoosiers want it, there is no reason they can't win it. I can't cheer against these kids who chose to be a Hoosier.
