    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.

    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.

    That would imply that Clemson fans have expectations in basketball. They could care less that they sold their souls for the football title this year.

    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.)

    For what it's worth, IU is hosting a women's NIT game on Thursday. I guess spring break was cut short just like the IU men's NIT run tonight in Atlanta.
