Agree that a run in the NIT would be good experience for this team. But you have to earn your way into the
NIT, and this team has not yet done so. UConn is 6th in the AAC. Even if the NCAA takes SMU and one other from the conference, that leaves three NIT hopefuls ahead of UConn. Beating Tulane and E. Carolina won't get them into the NIT. At very least, they need to establish themselves over Memphis by beating them at home and outlasting them in the AAC tournament. Even then it might take another win over the Top 4.
Boat keeps saying that he didn't come back to play in the NIT. Unless they spring a surprise over somebody, he might get his wish.
