Is the the NIT worth it?

Really? Of course.

Gives another opportunity for the players to play for something.

Why the hell not?

Has there been a team that’s ever declined the NIT?

 

[VolArmy74]

Has there been a team that’s ever declined the NIT?

Georgia and LSU have both done so recently. The cost of hosting is usually a money loser.

At Tennessee? Not that I know of.

They need to go because some of these guys need the basic basketball experience.

 

[VolDaddy61]

Is the the NIT worth it?

Yes, particularly for the younger players. The more significant time they get the better they'll become.

Would you turn down a date with a hot girl because the even hotter girl didn't ask you?

Fulky would land both

Who cares

Win SEC tournament all options not off table yet
never give up

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Hell Yeah Tennessee Will Accept The NIT! I think this team could at the very least make it to the NIT Semifinals in NY.

Why the heck wouldn't we? Who do you think Tennessee is that they have the level of pride and audacity to decline an NIT invite?

Tennessee supports its teams. UGA support for b-ball from fans is laughable

As a fan I really hope we don't get the invite, I'm really tired of seeing us getting beat.

Tennessee will be playing a lot of teams in the NIT that are as good as Tennessee is or worse. I think Tennessee will make it to NY in the NIT Tournament.

Then stop watching.

If our team tries. Often you see power conference teams make the NIT and just throw in the towel. Kind of pathetic IMO.

I think they will accept. It doesn't matter in the long run, but it wouldn't hurt to give the freshmen another game or two

Yeah I remember Vandy going to the NIT with 20 wins once and getting smoked in the opening game of the NIT.

Should always accept NIT if you're from a Power 5 conf. Most mid majors should always accept CIT as well. My opinion.

Especially if you're not a perennial power.

 

[chuckb1448]

The NIT used to decide who was National Champion until serious money became involved

The problem with the CIT is teams have to pay to play and it's really damn expensive.

Barnes was asked about it and said he would accept it. /thread

City College of New York won both the NIT and NCAA Tournament in 1950.
