You get it and you're not proposing to boycott the NIT.

I haven’t read through this entire thread so sorry if this has already been brought up but the way our guys are playing with and for each other do you really think they are ready to shut it down? Do you think CV just wants the season to end if they don’t win the AAC tournament? I think the team wants to continue playing and they probably think they could win the NIT. Worried about fatigue? Did you see the effort the guys were putting out yesterday at the end of the game when we were up big? This group is loving playing together, took their lumps earlier and now are peaking. Let them have some fun and a chance to play at MSG

Since the NCAA bought the NIT, teams cannot refuse to participate.

Was in the Garden that night when we best Ohio State for the championship. We were actually allowed on the court post game.

not sure this is accurate. if a team doesn’t want to compete they can’t force them

You can tell the guards were getting tired at the end of the game. Almost every shot was hitting the front of the rim.
Using them when Whaley and Josh were in foul trouble is not ideal. Hopefully Sid can work his way back for the Houston game. I felt the game at Houston was the worst officiated game. Team plays foul attrition. Want to beat them more than anything except giving Christian a chance to be in a postseason tournament.

I was so happy for Jeff King. You could make an argument that he made a bigger difference than Cliffy that tournament.

Was there also. Still one of the best defensive efforts I've ever seen as well as a fantastic move by JC to throw Lyman on Barros.

Sids best move is to stay in line for the remainder of the year on both academics and basketball, work hard on both. It will work best for his next move no matter and put confidence in his next coach/school if that's the direction he chooses.

The NIT was incredible exciting - i guess the people that think it was not were not the VCU game at the field house or at MSG for finals - fantastic atmosphere and excitement! It started everything. No question you take the bid if it is offered, but just win the AAC tourney and go to big dance!

Good call on msg. Preview for big east tournament atmosphere. Sounds real dumb but considering the roster depth and predictable outcome it may be optimal to play in the NIT in our house, vs the dance, as we can certainly go deeper. !!!!i believe but this IS about next year and I bet cv would prefer a trophy to an invitation.
And the sick dunk by Lyman against Ohio State! Was surprised I didn't see anyone mention it in the greatest dunks thread.

NO The NIT is not what it once was but coaches want to coach / teach and ballers want to ball!
This is a team made up of a well coached Band Of Ballers! If the invite is made there is no way I see this coach or team turning it down. The rally cry, Madison Square Garden baby! UConns former and future home away from home!
My source told me we decided not to joint the Big East because stiffer competition is going to lead to more injuries.

Or what Calhoun once said, "Once they throw the ball up, you might as well try to win."

I was first row under the basket for the VCU game caught some TV time. What a game, what an atmosphere it was incredible and who knew it was only the beginning. Amazing memories.

What I remember is almost losing that 1st game vs WVU - it went into OT as I recall
At MSG we had seats in the lower bowl and we were talking with members of both Uncle Cliffy and Spider Usery's families
The team that scared me more than anyone in the final 4 was Colorado State - they just seemed to have evreything going their way- they should have beaten OSU in that semi

I want sid back as it effects all the players. I know he’s not a superstar but that doesn’t matter. What matters is he can fill in up front or match up as a bigger 3. He can hit the occasional 3 block a shot dunk a few etc. but he has 5 fouls which matters the most. We need him— if his trouble is something that can be addressed especially by Sid— we shouod for the good of this years team

Remember the cloud of dust coming from the rafters, just an incredible scene. Phil and Jeff on the basket, the fans on the court so happy.

Definitions are certainly being parsed here, but "indefinitely" only refers to that particular moment in time. The timeline could be defined at any subsequent point and not made public.
