Great that they can get some more experience, but there’s a difference in learning to win against mediocre teams and the teams that we need to learn to win against. We didn’t have issues closing out NIT teams. 🤷🏻♂️ No thanks for me, and hope it doesn’t matter anyway. Welcome to the state of Indiana Basketball. Glad you could join us. We've been losers for a while now. Don't see that changing anytime soon. I saved a seat for you. I hope it changes but i am not holding my breath.

KoB2011 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 I understand the wanting to play in the NCAAT over winning the NIT, I'm right there with you. But I don't understand not wanting us to win it or supporting the team if they do play in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 My question is if you play in the play in game and lose do you even feel like you were in the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be N.I.T. banners hanging in AH. Your first sentence I get. The 2nd not so much. In his 29 years at IU, he had IU in 24 NCAA appearances. I see NIT as an extended reward for a lackluster season. It happens and I’m aware but it’s not my bag. To each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 79, IU won the NIT over a Purdue team that was 27-8 and tied MI ST (national champ) and IA for 1st in B1G but didn’t get an invite to the NCAAT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13th&Jackson Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 3 minutes ago, Inequality said: Wow that’s odd isn’t it? Wonder why? From an article at the time. It was the rule then to only take two teams from the same conference. Purdue, which was picked in the preseason to finish seventh in its conference, earned a share of the title with Iowa and Michigan State largely because Carroll emerged as an offensive star. Purdue's 27-7 overall record is second best in the Big Ten, but the Boiler-makers were not invited to the NCAA tournament because their record against Iowa and Michigan State was 1-3, and the NCAA takes only two from a conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time only the conference champion got into the tournament. In 1974 the top two teams in college basketball was NC St. And Maryland. They met in the conference championship and was one of the best games ever. NC St. won the game and went to the tournament and Maryland stayed home. After that they expanded the tournament where more than one team from a conference could make it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
