Hoosier0908! Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 This topic is somewhat silly, but I absolutely appreciate the conversation starter. You absolutely accept it. In the COVID world where the athletic department is running a deficit, you absolutely accept additional opportunities to collect revenue. Also, the basketball players want to play...you let them.

BobSaccamanno Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 If we do get into the NIT, I hope Lander starts and the other freshmen all play heavy minutes. That’s the upside in my mind to playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHoosierFan Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 I would accept the bid and not play Al, Rob, TJD. I would only place, Race, Hunter, Lead, Lander, Galloway, Geronimo and all of the walk-ons only in our first and only game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, then that says... "Al, you busted your arse for 4 years, pretty much maxed out your potential, and could be playing in your last meaningful game ever for the school you love. Take a seat." " Trayce, I don't care if you've made up your mind of not, have a seat." " Rob, I know you're trying, but to the curb you go. I want you freshmen to take note. If you ever struggle, I'll give up on you and kick you to the curb too." Anc then throw the game by playing walk-ons? Makes no sense to me...I know that was simply your interpretation of @IowaHoosierFan words, @NCHoosier32, but if that's correct, it's more disturbing to me than when I first read it...

Bowhunter Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I’m torn on this one. My stubbornness as a fan that expects better from our coach wants us to be done if we don’t make the tournament. However, if we earned the right to play post season (NIT) , we should allow the kids to grow and better themselves for next year. So it’s a yes from me. Had to talk it out 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 One more thing to think about, how long has it been since these guys have seen their families due to the COVID protocols? Could that play into a decision about the NIT? I don’t know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Why not? But we're not going to last long. Morale is at the rock bottom. Thing is if we lose the last 2 conference games, and go 0-1 in BTT, we probably won't get invited to the NIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
