If we miss the NCAA...

I support the Vols no matter what but the NIT is just another lame tournament. It's worse than a lame bowl game. The NIT is the worst of the worst

I'm always happy to see the Vols win. And I'm bummed when they don't. I thought that's what being a fan is about. Not just fair weather when "it matters"

Don't get me wrong, if we go the NIT, I'll hope we win it all.

Or door #3 - get a coach LiKE Bruce Pearl or Ray Mears who gets their team ready to win all year long rather than just the last 10 games and we NIT is never in the discussion

Although Mears was 1 and done in NCAA it was a different era then and a lot fewer teams. I'm sure he could have beaten some cupcakes

Yes it was an honest question. Last year I thought we could benefit from an extended run in the NIT primarily because of stokes lack of experience. I don't feel that way this year. Just because you have an opinion doesn't make the question less valid. I don't see how having you're a$$ handing to you in a first round game, possibly a play in game benefits your program. That is my opinion However and I would respect yours regardless of whether it disagrees with mine.

That ain't fair. The whole team thought Maymon was coming in a some point. It wasn't until they ruled him out for the year that the others that the others stepped up.

Coach Zo did a wonderful job!!!

It's been asked and about 3 threads started about it the last week, just gets old seeing it. Look at USCjr they go NIT all the time, won it 2 years in a row, what'd it do for them. Zo has never been to the NCAA, it's the biggest negative against him in recruiting.

The biggest thing, next year we all hope is THE year. The talent is there for them to go elite 8, it'd be nice if we had some NCAA experience heading there next year.

The Vols would likely get a number one seed again, right? That's something to cheer about. Extra games in Knoxville.

No sorry not many extra games in Knoxville if we get NIT although we would probably be a #1 seed. Lady vols host NCAA games in Knoxville that week we get a game Wednesday and may get kicked to road. We need to play like we belong which ever tourney we make.

I'll watch if I feel like watching a team with zero heart. Which apparently I do, because I watched the game against Bama.

Would have been nice if they played like they belonged in that tournament they just got bounced from

The home NIT game last year with cheap tickets and festival seating was actually fun. Even though the bottom bowl was full it was as loud as any other game I been to. It was like a hockey crowd, pretty rambunctious fans there. None of the normal high $$$ people sitting in the best seats. My group enjoyed it. GoVols!!

No way I'm going to TBA to watch us play with some scrubs in the NIT. It's not even worth my time to watch it on TV. That's not being a bad fan, it's voicing that we won't accept mediocre play in Tennessee. Remember the year we had 3,000 in attendance for the NIT opener? Hell, I'd love to see an empty house. Show the athletic department how displeased we are by the performance of our beloved team. It won't look good to recruits, sure, but it will still help us in the long run.

I enjoy taking advantage of the cheap tickets.

Please be a true VFL and support our team in the NIT, rather than being a loser an who refuses to watch our NIT games. This team has worked hard and become so much better over the last month or two, and after Georgia game #1 no one thought we would ever be in this position. Sure we spent a lot of this season sucking, but we have been resilient and overcame adversity to be where we are now. If nothing else, do it for the seniors. I personally think we are deserving of an NCAA bid, but I will support my Vols either way.

We trade out two of those seniors for Maymon and Hubbs. Once this senior deadwood is outta here, the Vols will return to the REAL tourney, not this chump arse piece of feces.
