Sid suspended

[metsfan2323]

I highly doubt we accept a bid to the NIT. We already have two players injured going into next year, I don't think the NIT is worth risking a third. The juice is not worth the squeeze IMO. Having just 7 players makes it even easier to say no thanks.

If they get an invite to postseason play, how can Hurley look CV in the eyes and say “sorry, we only have 7 so we can’t play anymore.” That ain’t happening. CV deserves postseason play if they get a chance, he’s a warrior, he’ll play 36-40 min a game if needed. 7 bodies and the walk on, they can manage.

I'm wondering if Mamadou can suit up and give 5 minutes a game.

Can we do some kind of Vulcan mind meld and give Sid Mamadou's work ethic. If so we could win a Natty real quick.

7 bodies is OK for games until they get in a foul-fest. For practice it's rather limiting.

Nope. Any coach will be delighted to have the extra coaching time afforded a postseason invite. If Dan Hurley turned it down the players would revolt.

 

[HuskylnSC]

Please Stop it! NO Mamadu, No Walk Ons. YES to NIT. Practice will be fine. Grab a few intramural bodies. If I were one of the seven, I would be thrilled at the chance to come together. Seven in the NITY will build unity faster than anything I can think of. I would love it. I would kill myself in practice. We seven would go to war together. And besides that, losing Sid is not losing a positive contributor. So, lace'em up tight and get after it.

if we are fortunate enough to receive a nit bid there is a 100 percent chance we accept it

 

[ASweet3781]

We haven’t been to a postseason tournament since 2016 and people seriously want to turn down a bid?

Seriously? Now that is good inside info. National media sleeping of course. It was cringe worthy watching Buchanon run the point for 99.99% of the time instead of Gilyard at the end of the UVU game when Rice hit the game winner. It was clear if that team had a healthy Harris they could be a second weekend team.

Agree about Buchanon. He’s a guy that should get plenty of run because of his defense but when we need a bucket at the end it should be Gilyard running the show.

The Harris info comes from a couple of boosters from NMSU. He’s still in a walking boot but I’m hopeful we have him back to make a run in the NCAA’s if we get there.

9, 7, 6, 10

Those are the minutes Sid played in the last 4 games.

Spoiler alert, Chicken Littles:

We’ve basically been playing a 7-man rotation and seem to be doing pretty OK lately.

I think the boys can find a way to make it work for another 7+ games

What fantasy world are you living in.? Programs turn down the NIT ever year. It happens all the time. Nobody cares about that stinking tournament anymore. BTW if i'm an agent and some player hires me to "test the waters" the first thing I would tell said player is to not play in that stinking tournament. Exhibet A: AKOK AKOK

Sorry but as a long time fan ANY chance to the Huskies play is a good thing. Post season tournaments no matter which one is good for fans and players. A few more games in a one and done enviornment can only help these young players going forward.

Well, first of all you don’t hire an agent to test the waters.... so there’s that. I am sure the rest of your post was more accurate but I stopped reading it.

I have never disagreed with a post more then this one.

NIT gives a developing program looking to regain its place a chance to be in higher stake games. Where would we be If we did it win the NIT back in 1988. That gave us exposure to land our first mega class in 1991.

 

[Dooooooomed]

If some y'all that scared about more injuries in the NIT, we might as well forfeit the rest of the regular season and not even bother going to Fort Worth.

The NIT is lower stake than the regular season and the AAC tournament. Much lower stake.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I think an NIT run would be great for this team heading into next year.

Wrong, right now we are still playing for seeding in the AAC tournament and the chance to win that tournament and make the real tournament. These games matter.

Did I wake up in 1947? The NIT is important again??

 

[Stinger92860]

Could this be a Hurley / Ollie thing? Hurley gets called to court..... maybe Sid said something he shouldn't have

Were Sid and Ollie close?

That was a quick ignore

AG too, if he's leaning toward calling it a career here.

Here's a novel idea -- lets wait and see if we get a bid before accepting or rejecting it.

Why play at all? You might get injured during warmups
