Last I saw ISU is out because teams that win their conference but lose in their conference tourney get an automatic bid to the NIT and that happened a lot this week.

It actually took a little while for me to process all of this for some reason, lol.

 

But that kind of sucks. I was hoping to get to play them, like watching Jake Odum play

Yeah my bad. That was pretty wordy haha. But yeah they basically got bumped by mid-majors getting upset in their tourneys. I would love to see Odum get at least a shot in the D-League.

Who cares?? There are about 15 people in the whole world that will watch the NIT. Our program is a complete joke. You have talent that is far superior to half the teams going to the NCAA tourney but with zero discipline and a coach that only knows how to clap his hands and hope for wins the IU program will be back where it was 4 years ago in no time. It's absolutely pathetic that a group of talented ball players actually get worse when Crean is "coaching" them . I truly hope we decline a post season invite and try to figure out who actually wants to play basketball . Bottom line our players have no confidence, no game plan, very little class about them and no leadership to even possibly steer them in the right direction. My vote, fire Crean, deal with the short term fallout and get a real leader on the sideline. It's time we made ourselves relevant again and Tom has no chance of making that happen.

I'd prefer to watch IU even if they were playing in the CBI. Doesn't matter it is IU basketball.

This thread is turning into a real drag! Lol. I don't really care if we play in the NIT at this point. This team has great potential. I hope these young men get it together and regroup over the summer. We still have a lot of work to do, but it's not hopeless.

IU will never play in the CBI. Teams and Schools actually have to PAY to Play in the tournament. It's a money grabbing joke.

I'm all for playing in the NIT. With the hope being they build some confidence and maybe get on a little roll that carries over to the offseason.

Plus, we'll get at least one home game so HOPEFULLY Sheehey will be able to win his last game in Assembly Hall.
