I personally think that winning the NIT would be>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than getting beat in the first round of the tournament which is much more likely if we are a 16 seed going against a 1. It is a mindless statement to say I am campaigning for less success. OK,we make the tournament. Where are we seeded??

this statement here completely proves you have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to the NCAAT, as if there was any doubt.

I'm with you there too. Winning the NIT means you've already failed. It's like getting excited for the USA to win the bronze metal game at the Olympics.

Yep, some of you have already convinced the basketball team that if after all of the work they have put in this year, if they get into the National Invitational Tournament against 31 other teams who didn't quite get to the holy grail, it is meaningless, they should just rollover, hang their sneakers up, and wait til next year. That's really deep thinking, now isn't it?

No, they need to try to win every game. That still doesn't mean it is worthy of the worship you keep giving it.

Translating, would you rather see the current team lose the first game of the NCAA tournament or win the 5 games required to cut the nets down in Madison Square Garden? Want to answer or skip around?

Here's a little insight for you SD.
These guys aren't laying in their racks at night thinking, "We could actually win the NIT this season."

They're dreaming about being the Cinderella Team in the NCAA.
They're thinking, "How far can tyndall's defense take us."
They're thinking, "What do I have to do on offense to get better."
"How far could we go."
They ain't thinkin NIT and won't be for 2 more months. Why are you?

I'm pretty sure SeniorDrill thinks if he keeps saying something thats wrong that eventually it will become right.

This is absolutely mind blowing. SD already had 0 credibility, but he somehow lost even more with this "discussion."

Hopefully both Tennessee and BYU will make the Big Dance. That will be good times for a fan like me with split loyalties.

Why do you keep asking a question that was clearly answered?

I've answered in both polls, spoiler alert, I disagree with you.

This says it all IMO. By the way, in last years final RPI, these teams in the NIT had the RPI's following their name. Southern Miss-32, Toledo-38, Missouri-47, Minnesota-50, Fla State-52, SMU-53, Belmont-58, La Tech-59, St Mary's-60, California-61, Iona-64, St John's-65, Georgetown-66, Illinois-67, and Arkansas-68.

And all those teams would have traded their NIT appearance for an NCAAT bid.

Mindless statement??? Says the person who believes we'd be a 16-seed. Pardon me while I have a good laugh at that.

Without even looking it up, I'm going to guess that no Power 5 conference team has EVER been a 16 seed, and I'd say the absolute lowest we would be is a 12-13 seed based on the history of the NCAA Tournament since the expansion to 64 teams. The committee just doesn't give Power 5 teams from multi-bid conferences severely low seeds. Those are reserved for automatic qualifiers from low-profile, 1-bid conferences.

You really have no clue how any of this works do you? I feel like I'm explaining this to an 8 year old.

SD, could you ever locate that mythical Power 5 team that rang in as 16-seed, or are you just ignoring this giant crater in your theory?

Seeing that he claims the NCAAT consists of the 68 best teams in the country, I'm guessing the details of how the lower seeds are filled out are lost on him.
