Those two aren't in SHAMBLES and actually won games in their conference tournaments...they both were runner-ups if my memory serves me correctly. Remember this fellas...IU has played up or down to it's competition ALL year. I think the 8 seed is a blessing in disquise! Now maybe they will grow some fuckin testicles and play with some heart because the WHOLE nation is laughing at them. AFTER they beat Arkansas...I believe you'll see the best game the Hoosiers have played ALL year vs. UNC...not saying they'll win for sure, but they're going down swinging! MARK MY WORD!

Anybody who thinks we got robbed with a 8 seed obviously hasn't watched the Big 10 this year or IU the last 3 weeks. They are limping into the tourney, the committee knoes it. Might as well out them out of their misery early. Good Luck DJ in the pros, it was a pleasure watching you this season. EG enjoy some bench time in the NBA.

Greenspan, Sampson, Gordon thinking he is a 3 point specialist, players who think they are bigger than the program, and on and on. Dozens of reasons for the demise for this program. The 8 seed they got was well seserved and they will likely get beat 1st round, certainly will get thrashed in the 2nd round. Lets hope we can get a quality coach without dragging our feet too long, and I hope Greenspan is the AD at some high scholl this time next year.

If IU is lucky enough to beat Arkansas, they are done in round 2 vs. UNC.

If the team has any confidence left, it is probably gone.

One thing I am looking forward too is ESPN's bracket coverage.....Will for the first time since his firing...Bob "don't say hey knight" Knight say ANYTHING about Indiana......will he even say the word......I watch and wait

Re: Open Thread: Selection Sunday

BrianK — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 17:52:51 -0000

I think the conference tournaments showed what Knight said was true about teams that have a lock in the tournament not playing that hard in the conf tourney's

6 seed, upset by St. Joe's or Villanova, or some team like that, which at this point isn't really an upset anymore. We are one and done. I will root like hell for them, I will try to use all my positive energy to urge them to do it, but they're done. I'm sad.

Ok I have found my motivation to get excited about the selection sunday....

"It's about DJ"
This isn't senior night, this isn't the Big Ten tourney.....ONE and DONE. I think they MAY surprise us and play inspired not for you know who...but for DJ. You may see the old EJ come back....you may see the Lance Stemler who is also a senior and doesn't want this story book ending to end anytime soon....

OK that is all I could get going........

i'm gonna take a slightly different take on dd. i'm want to say a big thanks to dd. other than dj, it was the players who decided that they didn't want to play the rest of the season. don't get me wrong, dd could have done a much better job of motivating and that's what i'm thanking him for. i was so afraid that we were going to have another bill lynch situation where someone gets promoted and maintains someone else's work, system, and team and wrongly convinces the administration that the success the team had after he took over was his doing. i was so afraid that this team was going to play "us against the world" basketball and make dd a serious contender for the head job. thankfully that's not going to happen.

my head says that this team will be a 6 or 7 seed, will pull out a win in a game that should not be as close as it ends, will get our hopes up thinking they might make a run, then not even show up for the second round game.

my heart says that no matter how much this team has struggled since ks left, they have SO much talent that you have to think there is a good chance they make a run deep into the tournament. i mean seriously, who CAN'T get psyched up for the tournament? they have to get fired up for this, right? if this team gets pumped, they'll get hot, and we all KNOW that this team can do a lot of damage when they want to.
