SawatchHoosier Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Just now, Zuckerkorn said: Underwood may be right in not being upset about losing early. They should at least start it 3 days earlier or go back to pre 2000 before the tournament when we played more games without killing each other. We still got the same number of teams into the tourney.

The difference is that ND only played one game in their conference tournament They also don't rely completely on their defense. That's what was impacted the most by our 5 games in a week tour across the country exhaustion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Turtle Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 This season was better, for sure. No complaints. We made the tourney. Going forward, we shouldn't be sniffing any guard or wing who can't shoot. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idc about Kentucky that much because I don’t know a UK fan, but that sickens me purdue has a cakewalk now. I don't give a f$#@ if Purdue makes the Elite 8 or not. They aren't going to win the thing and that's all that matters. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is should do is wake the stupid NCAA up and make them realize their $$$ first priority approach doesn't contribute to fairness among the competitors. Going forward they need to pay attention to the competitive fairness of every participant, not just the top seeds. No team should be forced to play late on Tuesday and then travel cross country for a game with only one day in between, especially against a team from nearby and the same time zone. It is lazy and incompetent to simply say, the spoils go to the higher seeds. Every participant deserves a fair shake. They have certain “rules” about where certain seeds can play. That may be fine but it doesn’t give you carte blanche to run a lower seed through the ringer. This is not that complicated although they try to pretend that it is. I assure that people in my business do far more complicated things more competently than this idiocy. Understand, none of this is an excuse. I’m addressing unsophisticated thought process where more competence is required. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Toiletmakers will find a way to screw things up. HTD will provide the extra heavenly powers to ensure that.

IU247 Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I mean the screw job by the Ncaa has to be pretty blatant for the OPPOSING COACH to literally downplay the curb stomp it just put on a team in march madness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronkonagurski Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Getting blown out sucks but I am happy we got to end our season in a Round of 64 game after winning 3 of 4 games to secure our spot in the tournament. Watching UK lose instantly made my night too so there is that. Let's come back better and stronger next season! Go IU! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think all coaches would be against it. Any of them could end up in that situation. For a program like St. Mary's, they are probably more likely to end up in a game like that than most P5 programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before if you were in the East region you would play in one of the two East region sites. Today even if you are in the East region you can play your first two games out west. If we're able to play in day Buffalo then the trip from Dayton wouldn't be do bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s clearly not the latter, so this team is WEAK. I think we have the right coach for the most part, but we need a major upgrade in personnel. Like we need fu*&ing monsters on this team to destroy anyone they come up against. I’m sick of wondering if we have the firepower to come back. It should be a given. Is it or is it not IU? Can’t blame the players. They played their hearts out over the last few weeks.

Tourney is only for the top 4 teams Having the conference tourney one week earlier would be great. I think we did it once. But it compresses the regular season. The logistics are tough for that. If not a week, how about starting it the Sunday before or something like that? Moving it up three days could work. We’ve started the regular season in December anyway. They may not want the championship on a weekday night but I bet they’d still make similar money and help competitive stature of conference teams. While we are fixing the world, they need to address league officiating to follow standards of the tourney. Some touch fouls tonight.

IU Scott Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I think having the conference tournament and playing the 20 conference games is hurting the conference. I know I am old school but don't think it is a coincidence that the big ten hasn't faired well since we expanded the conference. We play to many conference games which is such a grind and just flat out tires the teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 Have enough beer in me to make much sense. Year 1. Made the tourney.

At some point the BigTen needs to figure out that the juice isn’t worth the squeeze and NCAA success trumps what little revenue the conf tournament brings. At the very least shrink it to the top 8 teams or figure out scheduling so there’s a week between the two tournaments 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointing loss? Sure. Massively. In my memory the worst loss in tourney history was 2000-01 season against Kent St. That team obviously had all the talent needed for a huge run (showed it the next year) and lost to a mediocre mid major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
