I want to be excited but I just can’t be. We’re in a lose-lose situation. Win and we get berated for being the “69th best” team. Embarrassing. Lose early and it’s even more embarrassing.

Our 2 best players are gone and I’m betting on 2 or more transfers, so how much will this actually benefit us for next year? How many fans will fill up the hall, or will it be half empty? Just another nail in our blue-blood coffin.

Scheduled for Tuesday, the big question is will this team be motivated to play. 

[Alford Bailey 12,373]

Love to see this team seize this opportunity but Im not confident we wont get bounced early.

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,210]

Yes sir

Dang! I wasn't wanting that. I have a Legion meeting Tuesday night. I hope it's an early game.

Here's a novel idea.  Since the high school careers for TJD and Armaan are over, let's get them officially enrolled and on the roster.

There's nothing embarrassing about winning. Our women's team wasn't getting any snide remarks for winning it last year.

I always like to see one more IU game.  I know NIT sucks, but lets just hope this will help the team/coaches going forward!

[mdn82 25,510]

IU posted tickets. Main level are $20

I can see getting revenge against Arkansas at our joint being motivation for this team.  We shall see Tuesday!

I’m not going to fill this up with negativity so I won’t say much more after this, but really? Our women’s team has about 2% of the history/expectations of our men’s team. For the women’s team it’s a great accomplishment, for the men it’s a reminder of how far we’ve fallen and where we’re at. Comparing them is silly

I wish I didn't live 3 hrs.from Btown!

Let’s come out with the idea of winning it all, getting revenge against Arkansas perhaps along the way and winning would be a nice way to show the committee we should have been in over teams like Belmont. Plenty to play for, just depends on if you look at it that way or if players don’t care about NIT.

40 years ago (1979), Hoosiers won the post-season NIT.  The team Indiana beat for that championship - Purdue!

Two years later, Hoosiers are NCAA champions!  Deja Vu?

2nd year of a new regime,  patience young grasshopper!

Pretty certain we get them in the Hall next season as well when it counts.

Interesting.

Damn...Spring Ball Tuesday but I’d love to hit up the 2nd round if we win for that price. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,529]

I’m with VO. NIT means absolutely nothing. IU shouldn’t have even accepted the bid

[Hoosier Guy 7,529]

That being said, might as well win it
