Hogs were essentially an LSU opt out away from being the next call for the NIT.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

You know it's a down year when you don't even get an invite to the NIT. At least we can put it to rest and look forward to something much better next year; it would be hard to finish worse than Arkansas did this year.
Like others, I'm just anxious to know if Coach is staying or going, and ready to see what players will be back.

Tom Crean passionately condemns Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Indiana for declining NIT invitation

Thomas Goldkamp



QuoteEvery year with the announcement of the NCAA Tournament field a handful of teams are snubbed and instead get the opportunity to play in the NIT. Seemingly every year a team or two turns that opportunity down.

This year there were more than a few.

Among the teams that turned down NIT invitations were Indiana, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Memphis, St. John's and Pittsburgh. The sheer number left one former coach and current college basketball analyst fuming: Tom Crean.

"There's no question about it," Crean said on ESPN. "I would want to coach, I would want to develop my team. You've got bigger staffs than you've ever had. There's plenty of time for the portal. There's plenty of time to talk to recruits. There's plenty of time to negotiate NIL deals.

"There's not plenty of time to play. There's not plenty of time to get your players on the floor and give them a chance to get better. There's not plenty of time for guys to continue to play that may never get to play again. And that to me is absolutely ridiculous."

Rebels currently have a player, Jamarion Sharp, whose mother is in critical condition. Sharp has taken some time away from the team already to be with his mother, but surely it was taxing trying to play college basketball games knowing she was fighting for her life.

I really hope the players are the ones who decide not to accept an NIT bid.

Coaches should not be the ones making those decisions.
