How arrogant can North Carolina be turning down an NIT invite?
Arrogance
- Thread starter BoilerYergs
- Start date
They don't want the world to know how bad they really are
Not arrogance - they are an older team that wanted to be done playing due to an embarrassing season. I don’t blame them
How is that not the case? It’s all the NCAAT rejects.
NCAA rejects does not equal also-rans. Is Texas Southern better than any team in the NIT?
And Rutgers is better than a lot of teams in the tourney.
Are you sure about that?? They just got beat by Hofstra at home and gave up 88 points. Not a good team.
We beat Hofstra in December by 19 but I think they were missing a starter. Wow, no defense tonight though from Rutgers.
I've been hearing whispers that there is a lot more than bad basketball happening with that program. Lots of team chemistry issues, starting with the guards.
Must’ve been actual basketball instead of full court MMA.
The B1G is going to have a rough go of it in the Tournament.
Even if they win their first games (most of which are toss ups) 6 teams will need to play either the 1st or 2nd seed in the second round. Not a bold prediction to say the B1G will lose 3 teams in the first round and 3 more in the second. Only Purdue and IU have a legitimate shot to make some noise in the tourney.

that was the ream w/ Johm Garrett and Frank Kendrick beat Utah w/ Ticky Burden
Yes - it was actually the '73/'74 season - second year for head coach Fred "Seatbelt" Schaus.
Yeah, I live down here. Definitely lots of chemistry issues. Reminds me a bit of those Terone/Ronnie Johnson Purdue teams where the team just didn't mesh. Hubert Davis seems like a good guy, so I hope he figures it out.
Haha.
This actually goes back to one of my better friends from Purdue (who was also one of my roommates during most of my time in the dorms), and his time following Purdue pre-dates mine. He would tell me stories of Schaus getting animated and getting up all the time during games - back when it was less common than now....so in order to avoid an unnecessary technical foul - he said they should have given him a seatbelt. I don't know if this came from others.....or if it was just his and a few others adopted it (like me)......and maybe is just part of Purdue legend, but my buddy would use the term and get animated about it.
