[orangedave]

Could Syracuse basketball actually miss the NIT? Experts say Orange is on the bubble

Syracuse's hopes to make the NIT might depend on winning at least a game in Greensboro.

Well if that wasn't depressing. Looks like a good chance we won't have to worry about the Dome being unavailable.

Who cares, if you ain’t first, you’re last.

I'm with you. Really hard to get fired up over the NIT. As was noted elsewhere, with two more losses, nearly guaranteed with any postseason play, this is the worst season in JB's tenure. Not sure we need to extend it in anyway.

The fact this is his worst season on record is amazing. so many schools would beg barter and steal to have the record we have had under BHeim.

Maybe Rutgers would beg borrow and steal for a season like this, but we still stink.

The fact that thus is his WORST is amazing. That after 44 years he never had a year like UNC had this year, not once

Sure are. But in high level athletics that's how it works when you have built up and sustained success for so long.

I will inform Derrick Coleman and John Wallace that the 1987 and 1996 SU teams finished "last."

You should go talk to some Alabama football fans if you want spoiled.

As a southern person i talk to bama fans everyday

 

[Dinkyspond]

you know we've hit a low point when we are talking about missing the NIT!

 

[TexanMark]

Just say no to the CBI.

NCAA owns the NIT. We will make the NIT even if we lose on Wednesday. Our name would be a good draw for whomever we would play.

Pay attention to the one bid leagues. All those #1 seeds that get knocked out automatically go to the NIT. I agree with the above that even at 17-15 Syracuse is enough of a name that they'll get in if a spot is available.

If you think being from and/or living in Florida makes you a "southern person," I'll presume you are at the relative age where you're still a bit wet between the ears.

Panhandle of Florida is more Alabama culturally than Florida. I went to Pensacola, Florida for a conference it was like the South to a tee. Now Jacksonville the I-4 corridor of Tampa to Orlando are not Southern. Nor is Miami and the Gold Coast of FL.

Here's the regular season champs already locked into the NIT: Northern Iowa and Wright St.

I love Destin, Florida...I've been there on a few occasions.

I think that is true except that not having the dome throws a hitch in it.

I think we are a draw as a road team as well.
Syracuse at UConn in the NIT would draw money for the NCAA.

Florida is the only State in the Union you drive North to go South.
