I heard that Indiana refused a NIT home game, said they didn't want it because it would take away homecourt advantage for other games?

If they won it would have delayed firing their coach.

It may also have something to do with firing the head coach.

meanwhile, during the big dance this weekend, TCU survives and advances with a win at #1 seed Iowa. Ah...memories of a successful NIT run while building a program. TCU is going to be tough next year and we could very easily reverse roles as we bring in so many new faces

Doubt their fans rock The Garden like ours did...... IF they get there.
And yes... I see us going into next year's game as an underdog. Not a bad thing.

SMU vs TCU in hoops should be every bit of what Cincy vs Xavier has been for years
