Indiana declines home court...loses on the road.

[Hawki40]

First they said there were renovations at Assembly Hall, which was not true. Then it was because students are on spring break. Ten other schools that are hosting 1st round games are on spring break. Then the AD said they didn't want to "devalue Assembly Hall". What the heck! If I played for Indiana, I'd be pissed that the AD didn't want them to play on their home court.

IU sure represented the B1G well against the powerful ACC

Hope Crean gets an offer from Illinois.

4-11 on the road, 4-12.

Never heard of such a thing, unbelievable, I agree the players should be pissed.

Makes it easier to crean Crean.

AD has no balls to do that. Hopes he goes away like Alford did at Iowa.

You can't make this bowel movement up! Classic. Home court cost them this game without a shadow of a doubt. Nice job AD!! Idiots!!!!!!

I wish that Indiana team showed up last week in DC. They were terrible tonight.

The NIT, pure and simple...is about wanting to play the games, from the top on down.

The AD sent a message to his team by declining the home game. It was apparently received.

 

[RocknRollface]

They wanted to get the season over to fire Crean.

Thats the only reason you turn down home court.

Indiana women are hosting a first round WNIT game at Assembly Hall, so the renovations excuse is bull

 

[Hawksfor3]

Think the AD was protecting Crean's scalp? lol

I hate it when a team can't be consistent. Makes predicting these games really hard.

Yeah, what happened to the Indiana Pacers team we played last week?
