Isaiah does not want to play defending champs

FIU unhappy Isiah may debut vs. Tar Heels - College basketball- nbcsports.msnbc.com

Quote:
FIU athletic director Pete Garcia lashed out against the matchup Tuesday, saying he felt the Golden Panthers were “bullied” by organizers of the Coaches vs. Cancer tournament and that he expected Thomas’ debut to be at Ohio State instead.
Garcia said the school is examining how to get out of the North Carolina matchup but told The Associated Press that FIU remains committed to playing in the tournament

Re: Isaiah does not want to play defending champs

I don't know why they are upset. They are going to get pumbled by whom ever they play. North Carolina is going to be a young team with a new starting line up. Seems like a chance to at least keep it close.

Re: Isaiah does not want to play defending champs

It's about strength of schedule...if he pulls the upset not only will they get consideration for an NIT bid at tourney time, (if they win at least 15 more games), but it does wonders for the next seasons recruiting.

Did Apalachian State want to play the Wolverines?
