"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

If Fred Glass' handling of the NIT home game situation is a preview of what's to come in the event of a coaching search, IU is going to continue to be a running joke.

I haven't paid any attention to the NIT in years. THANK YOU XAVIER!

The way Glass explained it today basically made it seem like two weeks ago they had to decide: 1) do we want to participate in the NIT if invited? 2) do we want to host a game if qualified? How you can answer yes to #1 and no to #2 short of a major renovation (which obviously is not true as AH just underwent a massive one last year) is beyond me. God help IU.

Clemson has endured what was perhaps the most frustrating season that any team has ever gone through. It's over now. They're out of their misery.

The same might be said about FSU, a possible....never mind. No jinx here. My sports freak son spent 5 years there (Masters, not party delayed), and said he was one of the only people he knew who went to a game, and that was just a couple his senior year. They do NOT care, and I don't know how they recruit. (FSU hotties was suggested, but I don't think that's the same as Louisville.)
