I actually don't think Rob got fouled ... He just didn't make a smart play. ... One on three -- he's got to pull that back and wait for help. 

Possibly, but the foul tbey called 5 seconds later was no different.

But your main point is correct - he brought the ball across half court with about 11 seconds left.  The smart play was to get the last shot.

Archie showing more fire and passion than any player (of ours) on the floor.

Gonna be a long offseason, and probably even longer season next year. This program is in deep shi*t.

I hope you're wrong but I don't think you are. I like Archie but it's going to be almost impossible to be successful here if we miss the tournament next year.

I’m still laughing about being ridiculous after having concerns back in November. 

Congratulations on being right about us sucking. You win. 

[Brass Cannon]

When none of your players care.  It’s probably not a player problem. Just sayin

What did y’all expect? This team doesn’t give a **** about the NIT. They’ve mailed it in.

The nit could have been a positive thing but these guys got to come out like this against a clearly inferior opponent.

Exactly. I was thinking if we have no one one the bench that can play better than this, we are in a world of hurt. And if this is acceptable to this staff, it’s even worse.

How does Fred Glass look at himself in the mirror? He has ruined Indiana basketball, perhaps permanently. I hope the administration is proud of themselves. Do they think they have made anything better by screwing up athletics possibly beyond repair? Is the university better? Are students and alumni happier?

Why should he be concerned?  The people that would have to fire (even though he fully deserves it) couldn't possibly care less about horrid performances.

[BGVille Hoosierfan]

If this team is going to give any effort I’d rather they stay in the locker room and just forfeit...play the Walk-ons for the remainder of the game at least they’ll try.

They didn't give a **** about most of January/February either.

[Golfman25]

Some care.  A few don't.  When you have a player with a different agenda it's problematic.  Sorry but truth.  

[Blackmon_for_3]

Archie is going to have to recruit some fighters. 

[Hoosier Guy]

This is a perfect example as to why I don’t like the NIT. It’s meaningless. IU sure thinks that way. None of you should be surprised they’re playing like this tonight. This team didn’t get up for a B1G tournament game. They weren’t going to be ready for an NIT game. This is way worse than losing in the First Four

They didn’t give a **** about any part of this season. 

[Napleshoosier]

Geez. What a sh$t show! They better come out with fire.

If we had a lot of talent coming in next year, I'd feel better. We don't. We have no recruiting momentum and next year on paper, we look like a 6th-8th place team at best.

 

I don't remember where I expected us to be at this point two years ago when Archie was hired, but it sure as heck wasn't losing at home to KenPom #261 in the NIT.

Same here. Arch seems like a guy afraid of the ramifications of benching the “stars”. I would rather lose with end of the bench guys playing hard than those guys that played the first half

We're better off boycotting Simon malls, Ken Nunn, and whoever else keeps pumping money to keep the Titanic afloat.

Not until the last few minutes and the comeback will fall just short. I saw this episode last week

Garbage. Anyone disagree?
