Selection Sunday Thread

I was thinking they were at the very beginning. Honestly can't remember for sure though.

They usually announce after the 1s

@Justin_Albers: I'm told that Indiana will not host any games if it makes the NIT due to Assembly Hall renovations. #iubb

Trying to remember, are the Dayton teams announced last?

 

I was thinking they were at the very beginning. Honestly can't remember for sure though.

If I remember right, they're announced wherever they happen to be in the bracket should they win the Dayton game. One of the 16 seed play-in games will likely be one of the first selections called.

Suppose i should get ready to buy some NIT tickets..

I'd probably worry about NCAA tickets first.

Well...looks like we have all the possibilities covered besides "not at all". Let's see how it goes!

SMU up 33-19 at half.

[OliviaPope40 6,445]

Drink accordingly today.

[Beowulf50 816]

Come on guys, I feel like the redhead step child today. Either you are for us or you are against us?? Right?? I thought this was an IU board.

[OliviaPope40 6,445]

SMU you have one job today.

[Rookie33 932]

Ron Hunter tore his Achilles celebrating Georgia State's championship. Wonder if Hollowell changed his expression at any point today...

[Hovadipo 55,099]

NIT dream: We play against Alford's UCLA team in the championship game and win. Then Crean resigns, takes the DePaul job, and Stevens comes to IU.

Life is good.

Does Stevens hang a banner?

[KingPG21 6,583]

I really question the fandom of people who predict our demise. I'm not one to lay down without a fight!

ThAt isn't being a fan. Being a fan is supporting the program, not just blindly thinking they are going to win every game. Can't believe this even needs to be said, but this is two straight years were people have argued being a fan means you think they are going to win every game and everything is just fine and dandy

[Hovadipo 55,099]

Hova, Stevens hangs more than one banner. Dynasty, baby.

I meant from our NIT championship. :)

I like the thoughts of that but I want this years team to make the tournemant and see what they can do.

Where did I say everything was "fine and dandy". If a fan cannot support his team on selection Sunday then I guess I might as well watch Nascar! Do you hope your team does not make the big dance?? Do you hope that once your team makes the big dance that they are a one and done? Come on man. I'm only going to pick my team if they are the number one favorites. How pathetic is that.

[Beowulf50 816]

Beowulf, I have no argument with that. Whatever happens, happens. My feeling is that it's out of our hands.

I agree Laz I want the best for IU.

Think I just saw that Eastern Washington is in on an automatic.

Here is the thing, most of the fans have come out and said they want them to be in, a select few don't. You're talking about questioning people's fandoms because they don't think they'll do well in the tournament. They aren't saying they aren't supporting the program. You're talking about a sect of the fan base who is and hasn't been very vocal on these boards. And the fine and dandy comment goes back to last year when people called others non-fans when they said anything negative about the state of the program.

Again there is a huge difference between being a fan and supporting the program and just blindly thinking they're going to win it all and thinking that equates to being a fan.

For the record I hope they make it in, don't think they'll do well, we literally can't defend many tournament teams well enough.
