Mid Major Madness has us in as a 8th seed.
Making the NIT is a realistic goal that I hope we achieve!

I think 18 wins probably guarentee us NIT bid. 17 can be bubbling 16, ehh, not so sure. But, Cinderella me and win the AAC.
I'd still be annoyed that we'd have to listen to that.Remember how chants of NIT by opposing fans were supposed to make us annoyed ?
At this point, it seems the majority of us would not be annoyed.
I would take a campus intramural tournament at this point. Seriously. Guys need to know pressure of one and out.No power conference team is going to be an 8 seed in the NIT. Those seeds are almost always for low major schools who win their regular season title but don't win the conference tourney for the AQ. Realistically, there's probably 24-26 at-large NIT spots so I wouldn't get our hopes up too much yet.
I thought the NIT selection process became a lot more strict over the last 10-15 years. In 2006-2007 we finished 17-14 in the old Big East. We were not selected to the NIT that season. I wouldn’t say the NIT is a lock for us if we finish above .500, especially with so many other big schools having a down year as well.As long as we finish the regular season with a winning record, we will qualify for the NIT. While I don't know how the seeding works, the NIT is out to make as much money possible, and putting UConn as an 8 seed instead of Alabama State (or some other no name school) would help the NIT accomplish that goal.
Finish the season 5-5 and we are in the NIT. Lock it down.
Yaaaaaaayyyy. So happy lol.Mid Major Madness has us in as a 8th seed.

In a win-or-go-home tournament, every game is a big game.Desperate for some positive developments, would still be annoyed at the NIT. The young guys and the coach need to learn how to win big games.
Maybe we will be lucky and get a 1st round road game so we don’t have an embarrassing home crowd. I’d guess 4500 for an NIT tiltYes, I remember, but today I know that focusing on the past is suboptimal, and that accepting reality and being present are healthy, as well as the best path to a best imagined future.
