That was the whole point. Decline gracefully and don't shite on the only tournament that wanted you.

Hell, Alabama has even turned down a CBI invite in the last few years. I would turn it down as well. Do they even show the games on TV?

Good for them. Now if we could get half of CFB's bowl eligible teams to take the same stance, life would be good.

I don't get the Tom Crean hate. He can be a dick, he can be smug, but he has definitely turned that program around. He took Marquette to a higher level. I am not saying he is on the level of a Coach K, but people here turn their hate into a shitty opinion about his ability to coach.

Over the next few days and weeks we will tweet out our thoughts on the season and our off season. No need to reply. I don't read it.

He's a douchebag. And Dwyane Wade was the real turnaround for Marquette.

Count me in the group that doesn't have a problem with that stance. They're historically a great program. Don't reward mediocrity. Maintain high expectations.

Can't give a tournament game to every GD college basketball team.

It's totally reasonable to decline the CBI if you're Indiana.

It's a dick move to trash the entity that invited you to play.

This is part of why there's not a logical reason for Indiana to participate.

This. It's one thing to gracefully decline. It's another to publicly say this.
