You’re not allowed to decline an NIT invitation anyway. Regardless, it would be stupid to not utilize the extra experience for your players.

Haha that’s fair. My Father in law went to Michigan (and my wife) and he made it seem like a lot of Michigan fans are expecting to lose. Hopefully we can pull this one off today.

We control our own destiny. Win and in. I’m nervous.

Clemson tied it up to send it to overtime

Nebraska looks like the best team in the country right now

It’s really fascinating. On the outside it seems like everyone gets along and are all really great guys. But seeing stuff like the northwestern suspension and it makes you think maybe the team chemistry isn’t as great as it’s perceived. I wouldn’t be surprised if our team is only slightly different but I think I’m expecting about a 50% turnover as well.

Wake Forest losing is huge for other bubble teams.

It ensures a team doesn’t move up to D1 for one season and then straight back down to D2.

I will bet anyone $1,000 that he isn’t going to IU. I also doubt he goes to college.

Conference standings literally mean nothing in the eyes of the committee. It‘s about who you beat and who beats you.

I totally agree. Michigan is a bad matchup for us. I’m just at a point where I’m thinking “why not us?”

I don’t think anyone in the big ten is all that great. We just saw Wisconsin lose to Nebraska, we’re watching Ohio State fall apart, and we’re talking about being scared of an Illinois team that really isn’t that great of a team. Indiana isn’t that good either, but they can absolutely make a run in the tournament, regardless of past failures in the conference tournament.

I’m not feeling good about this game. But I’ll still be watching and hoping for the best.

Michigan has alternated wins and losses in their last 9 games. Hopefully that streak continues on Thursday.

The refs are never calling that even if he got fouled. Dumb play

Uh oh. I’m starting to feel hope.

XJ is our most important player. He’s been fantastic.

Purdue has hit some ridiculous shots out of chaotic possessions.

TJD has played so soft

We are so lucky to be down 4. That was the Xavier Johnson show

I hope Xavier Johnson comes back next year. He’s the only one showing some real urgency here.

IU is falling apart right now. Terrible execution on offense and not playing with confidence.

What a disastrous stretch by IU.

Stop forcing it in to Trayce please

This is a hilarious question. You think people told Rob he wasn’t supposed to be good and then Coach Woodson gave him permission to be good?
