We're on the bubble for the NIT.

NIT would be fine, but even one game in the NCAAs would be fantastic. As it stands right now, and looking to next year, Jalen and Enoch have played in 2 NCAA games, Terry Larrier 1. Getting three of the freshmen NCAA experience would be great to remove the shock factor heading into the 2018 tournament, and since we would be presumably rolled by any NCAA team, light a fire under them.

Down 3 scholarship players...one of which was arguably our best player...

IF WE CAN KEEP ADAMS - we're going to be big, scary, mean next year.

Why is this an "if"? Where is he gonna go?

 

[MexicoHusky]

I care about the NIT. I haven't even given up on the NCAA yet. Although, I'll admit our NCAA chances are pretty much reduced to running the table in league play or the AAC tournament. I want as much experience as we can get.

 

[Matrim55]

I care about the NIT.

Amen.

Bunch of old heads in this thread unable to remember 96/97, I guess. The NIT's a hugely valuable tool for a young team, and I hope this group plays as many games as possible this season, because I want to win as much as possible next year and the year after.

We lost to Wagner with Gilbert and Larrier, win those games and we are not looking at the NIT. Let's get to .500 and go from there.

 

[Kitaman]

This team is a true one game at a time team. The post season right now is light years away.

 

[UConnfan8]

Making the NIT would hopefully piss these guys off for next year. The NIT isn't a good thing people.

 

[Pudge]

Gotta get above .500.

We sure have a whole lotta whiny weak ass biotch fans.

We sure have a whole lotta whiny weak ass biotch fans.

That's our record Pudge. No game on schedule is a sure win at this point. When you lose to Wagner and Northeastern, nothing is certain. That's just reality.

NIT?
No reason to be discussing that right now
I want to see the young kids work hard and improve every game
I want to see AB and KF to hit the boards and score at least 8 pts each per game
I want to see RP return to the form he showed the last few games of last season
I want to see JA develop into a leader and learn how to attack a zone
If all this happens - NIT is definitely within the grasp and winning the conference tournament in Hartford gets them to dance
