Won't bigs more and more (if this is possible) seek to play marquee games (in which a loss is okay) and truly weaklings which have no chance of the upset? Where's the band?! WHERE"S THE BAND?!

Almost time for my yearly rant on making the P5s come out and play or threaten to expand the tourney to equalize the mids and lows to be able to compete on a level surface Most IU boards are saying that they should NEVER play "little brothers" in state (which they still include Butler) as that is their "super bowl". Obviously tO$U feels the same. never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

Someone asked in Chat last night how they got the Hoosiers to come up. THis coach is humble, thankful and most of all right in what he is saying. As an aside I had to go back and remember that the Pistons had moved from Ft Wayne Northside HS gym where they had played since the early 40's through the formation of the new NBA till 1952 when they moved to the Coliseum where IU /FW played last night. THey have a seating capacity to the Convo, 11K which they sold out. Friends said that there were folks let in and an SRO crowd was almost 12 K with fire marshals going bonkers. Coach addresses some of those things in the soundcloud recording. Nice listen to a really down to earth similar to Saul guy.

That might mean we go play at Highpoint College or some such place. But until they do, let's hit the road.

Won't ever happen but would be nice. I would have no problem whatsoever with Ohio playing on the road at "lesser" programs.

Wish more of the press was as logical, mids should be more attractive to big programs looking to garner and appease fans (like the tens of thousands of IU fans in FWA) and play on the road. THe Convo could use a few forward thinking schools. http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/despite-... / never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Require the playing of say, 3-4 true road games in November and December. That, all by itself, would drastically change the at-large selection process.

THe Convo could use a few forward thinking schools. http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/despite-... / Straight from the article: " "I'm sure he's second-guessing that, but he shouldn't," Coffman said on SportsCenter early Wednesday morning. "This is good for college basketball." Not exactly. Games like Indiana at Fort Wayne are great for college basketball. There was a March sensation in a November basketball game. We can't ask for more. Actually, we can. Neutral-court exempt tournaments offer us some interesting matchups and inevitable upsets, but no games played in Hawaii or the Bahamas or Cancun or Brooklyn or Orlando or Charleston or anywhere will match what an old, spacious barn brought to life on Tuesday night. We have Tom Crean to thank, not blame, for that." I totally agree. Games like that, while I didn't get to watch it, are FUN. LOT'S OF FUN. Even if IU would have won by 2-3, it would have been fun. It's the reason many of us harp on scheduling more games against teams that are local/regional rivals with more frequency. Give me Wright State, or Cleveland State instead of an Arkansas State every day. Games where fans of either team can travel to if they want. **Note, I'm not critical of the scheduling work done, because I don't know what it entails, and I acknowledge that it takes two to tango. But the goofy hoops fan in me wishes that in an ideal world we could get more games like this one. Games that matter a little more to the fans.

They tried that when they updated the RPI to give bigger weight to road games a number of years ago but the money revolted and decided they would devalue the significance of RPI as a factor in the selection of tournament teams.
