[OrangeYaGladi]

gives new meaning to the phrase 6 seed

 

[SUintheVille]

As if the bubble wasn’t bad enuf for the NCAAT, now the same for the NIT? Hey, Cuse stays on a roll, no telling what could happen. Bubbles stink!

 

[JaySU22]

5 acc teams in nit bracket

 

[OrangeYaGladi]

TFW a 3 game conference winning streak bumps you up to a 6 seed in NIT Bracketology

I more so am looking at that lineup and most years that is a tough region in the tournament.

 

[donniesyracuse]

That’s better than I expected.

 

[dollarbill44]

I like our chances to make a deep run.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Id decline the invite.

 

[AlaskaSU]

WSU but no UW.

 

[MikeSU02]

Gross.

I'm holding out hope that we win the ACCT and get into the show.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Id decline the invite.

Why?

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

Id decline the invite.

No, that would not be fair to the kids. Besides, if it's the NIT we are in I'd still want to win it

What if we are 1 game over .500 and get selected for the NIT.

Do you risk the winning streak?

 

[adk(roc)CUSE]

I think the kids would want a shot to win something, even if it is the NIT more than they are worried about the winning streak. In fact, I think we as a fan base are probably the only ones who care about it in the whole country.

Go for the NIT title

 

[donniesyracuse]

Id decline the invite.

Yeah, who wants more basketball? Yuck

 

[Cuse181]

Do you risk the winning streak?

To play in a post season? Yes.

 

[DonLightfoot]

Why is there only seven schools in each bracket? Is there "byes" involved with the NIT?

I count eight.

7 is the 'bottom" team because they show a bracket without the lines. Note that the 8 seed in each region is right under the 1 seed. Then 4-5 and 3-6.

Yep. Plus every time we have had to play in the NIT it works out we get a couple home games because of the attendance compared to others.

DUH! Thanks.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Surprised Michigan is in there. I didn’t realize they were having that bad of a season. Guess I wasn't paying close enough attention.

That's the exact same question I was contemplating last week. I was actually thinking, what if we were right at .500, would we risk a losing record. In either event, I've got to say yes, we play. That would be so cowardly not to play. The NIT, unfortunately, is where we should be this year so embrace it (now that Edwards is gone). Ugh.
