13th&Jackson Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 I don’t get these big name exhibition games. TN wins at MSU, IL beats #1 KS and Ark beats PU. None of those wins count in the season record or tournament resume. What’s the point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in big name exhibition games against good teams will make you better, excite your fanbase heading into the season and is great publicity. I think that's the point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Who makes this kind of list and thinks, I'll put Grand Canyon on it, but not Indiana. Andy Katz, that's who. But, seriously, is this a public indictment that our student section is not what it once was? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Grand Canyon, but given we don't really have a dedicated student section I think it would be hard to include us. . That's not to say we don't have a great homeport advantage, which I'm pretty sure Katz would acknowledge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s great that there are good teams playing, but why not just play those games as regular non-conference games? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Illini-KU game, at least, was a very late addition to the schedule, to benefit the community of Maui after the fires (presumably since both schools are in the regular rotation for that tournament...KU is going there this year, they had some sweet Hawaiian-print uniforms). The broadcast was pretty fun, both coaches miced up, both did in-game interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the point. Right, it's a chance to play against very good competition without having to worry about an L on the season record. I hope IU does some of these types of games in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just changed it to a public scrimmage to do the charity thing. IIRC they raised $1 mil for the relief funds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it appears he has less coaching ability than Patrick Ewing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
