March 17, 201412 yr For all us UK and UL fans complaining about our seeding. Indiana is a 4 seed............................. IN THE CBI:lol2::lol2:
March 17, 201412 yr Jeff Rabjohns @JeffRabjohns Indiana will not play in the CBI. IU's 2013-14 season has concluded.
March 17, 201412 yr Indiana has declined the invite and so has Marquette. Did Murray get an invite to the CBI?
March 17, 201412 yr Did Murray get an invite to the CBI? Murray State will be playing at Missouri State in the 1st round of the CIT Tournament on Wednesday.
March 17, 201412 yr Kyle Tucker @KyleTucker_CJ 42s Rush the court 3x a year? Well, of course. Create shrines to pre-Christmas wins? Uh, yeah. Cut nets after a loss? Duh. CBI? "We're Indiana."
March 17, 201412 yr Indiana has declined the invite and so has Marquette. Serious question for anyone who may know. Obviously, as long as your team is still playing you may practice. But, if you decline an invitation to a post-season tournament, can you practice during the post-season? Seems like turning down an offer to play in the CBI would be counter-productive to the program from a player development standpoint if you potentially lose another two or three weeks of practice and a chance to maybe play a few more games. I get it's an anti climatic tournament, and the fans won't support it, etc. But I liken this to a bowl bid in football. So often I hear college football coaches talk about how much the extra month of practice helps them as much as the experience of playing in bowl X, Y, or Z. Am I missing something here, or is this a fair comparison? Loved it last year when Cal took the NIT bid and said basically, that's what we are right now, we are an NIT team. Own it, and go get better.
March 17, 201412 yr Not really a fair comparison. Football Bowl can equal a month or more extra practice...CBI or NIT just a couple of practices gained.
March 17, 201412 yr Not really a fair comparison. Football Bowl can equal a month or more extra practice...CBI or NIT just a couple of practices gained. Depends on how far you go. You make it to the final four of either the NIT or CBI, and you're talking two and a half weeks more weeks of practices. Many teams only get three weeks of pre-bowl game practice in football, I know it varies. But, I see this as an apples to apples comparison, from the ability to practice standpoint.
March 17, 201412 yr I will admit, I'm a little shocked they weren't invited to the NIT. Figured the NIT would have liked to have the name there. Any reason?
