NIT

[tzznandrew]

Highly unlikely.

It would be nice, though, if they took into consideration that the team was 1-7 without Adams and 15-9 with him. 15-9 isn't NCAA pace, but keeping that pace would have gotten them in the NIT. NCAA takes into consideration injuries; it'd be nice if the NIT did as well.

I agree

Start the media campaign.

 

[Huskybass]

UConn is a name and a draw. I wouldn't rule it out.

The NIT finals are at MSG. Dear committee, we'll sell tickets, lots of tickets. 6th borough and all that stuff.

 

[Ts5034]

Lets not talk about the NIT until we are officially eliminated from the AAC Tournament. Its bad mojo

"You're damn right we would! Committee, we live in a world in which post seasons tournaments have expenses, and those expenses have to be paid for by selling out arenas. Who’s gonna do it? Clemson? Seton Hall? We have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom, keeping college basketball relevant in the northeast. You laugh at our conference affiliation, and you curse our football program. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know — that our football program, while tragic, probably saved our athletic department's hopes of going to the P5 and the Diaco coaching nightmare, while grotesque and incomprehensible to, well to pretty much everyone, probably kept our realignment dreams alive. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want us in MSG — you need us in MSG."

 

[SubbaBub]

Ugh, is that on the nose.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Don't think we'll be eligible for the NIT. Think conference tournament winners can only play in the NCAA tournament unfortunately.

We are going the big dance. One down three to go.

I cant wait until we steamroll Houston by 45, almost lose to Memphis, and beat Cincy on a buzzer beater for the championship.

 

[Jaybird65]

The NIT takes all regular season conference champions that do not win their conference tournament. After that, it is pretty much open to who is selected.

Doomed

So we'll be 19-16 on Selection Sunday... What seed do you think we get?

In that world, we'd have more Quad 1 wins than a lot of bubble teams. 12 worst case, probably an 11.
