Can this team win the NIT

[pnow15]

Unlike the rest of you spoiled babies, I'd rather have a long run in the NIT, culminating in a victory on national TV in the Garden than to be blown out by fifty points by Kentucky in the second round after eking out a win in the play-in round against Mississippi Tech.
This way we can complain how the committee screwed us and how we would have won the whole thing if given a chance.
Just wondering if you have a ball hog gunner on your team from Mississippi, can the you shout, "There is no i in team?"

They don't play to make the NIT. And when they make the NIT they rarely play like they want to be there as they underachieved at that point. It would be good for this young team in the NIT I agree, but I'm just thinking despite all the pride Boat carries around he'd find it hard to be the player he was during last years run. It's just reality.

Kill this thread, what is wrong with OP
These trolls want to bury the body before were dead.
I for one will not tolerate this blatant sttempt to kill our powerful Huskie Mojo.
We are not dead until we get eliminated from the AAC Tourney.Not one second before that time.
Cement that fact into your pea brains, it's far from over.
So the next person that mentions this team in any other context than hanging in to the end:
I will personally come out of retirement ,and choke any life that remains from your already brain dead body.

I think it'd be great to be the first team to win 7 NCAA tournament games in one year. That's what I'm shooting for, screw the NIT! Let's take care of business during the rest of the season and the AAC tourney. They said 5 in 5 nights in the BET was impossible too!

Remember 2011! It wasn't all that long ago.

We were like the proverbial Phoenix. We rose from the ashes of a 9-9 conference record. It was the best conference in the country. If we could win five games in five days against that level of competition, then surely, even though we may be less talented and experienced this season, we ought to be able to make the same run against a mid-major conference lineup, playing on one of our home courts.

Problem Nick is they won the Maui and 9-9 was in the Big East. If they approach 9-9 or even 10-6 in the AAC there won't even be ashes. But I get the idea and one can only hope the XL Center is our best friend.
