NIT Bracketology

Do you, sir?

Do you really?

This will take time to reload because players will be added to the portal during the next three weeks. I’m assuming that the coaching staff already has a good idea who might go in the portal. Be careful you don’t jump for the first guy you see. There might be better talent coming later.

You mean if you are a team that has 4+ starters/contributors leaving in the portal and you'd have to play walk-ons to accept the invite, you'd just do it??

Any thoughts on the NIT committee maybe doesn't want teams in the NIT playing walk-ons???

Easy solution seeing as the NCAA controls the tourney (and the TV partners aka ESPN want something changed) then move out the transfer portal opening date

SMH It is pretty clear we turned it down. How can you not see that? Look at the seedings. Plus, we wouldn't have had the Dome to play in. This is a relief.

We barely had 6 players during the last few games. Why go into a tournament with players that don’t want stay or play?

While you're not wrong, there's a lot to be said for first mover advantage.

Typical Axe, what a douche.

You also don’t want to be stuck at 2am with only hogs left at the club.

Speak for yourself!

I'd take a senior Z before Quadir any day of the week. Being honest, I was scared to death when we found out Michael Lloyd wasn't going to be able to play. Z was real good.

I agree, he is only a soph however. What an amazing year 95 was, was about to enter SU in 98. Such a fun time. Grace and thanks

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Sounds ominous...

 

[two3zone]

Honestly I don’t care either way, either way these player need to go. No more Copeland looking like a psychopath, Judah crying after every play, Bell celebrating a three while being down 10, and I know he’ll probably still be here and still play 30+ minutes a game, but I don’t know if I can watch another year of him. Build around Freeman.

You either go home a hero, or stay out late long enough to see yourself become the hog.

 

[GHLF]

This guy is repulsive, please at a min donate your 3.99 per month to an SU collective. Please trust me.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

All these other coaches are all over the media. This is one of the biggest nights of college basketball. How can Syracuse ignore the elephant in the room. We were either turned down or we turned it down. It's not real difficult to send a statement to the media members who cover the team. Sometimes it's so surprising how poor Syracuse University comes off.

 

[LoveShack]

Once a player enters the portal, there is no obligation on his current team to take him back.

Jon Bol says hello

Disagree

 

[JeremyCuse]

Lol, Brent clearly doesn't know SUs history

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Sounds like there will be a lot of meetings tomorrow..

 

[Obie9]

your commented warranted one. If you dont like it, then stop supporting the team

Didn't you disappear for a long time.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

I was hoping for a few more games, but not if we can barely field a team... or field a team with a bunch of guys that are checked out. Time to get started on the portal.

 

[Cuse House]

I will always remember getting All American status during the 2024 NIT Bracketology thread!

 

[GHLF]

Disagree

That is your right and that is ok

 

[storange]

All you have to do is look who made the NIT. We turned down the invite , Or the selection committee threw darts at the list of ACC teams to pick which ones.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Would you bear with me for just a second here.

What if - and believe me this is hypothetical - but what if you were offered some kind of a bag of cash. Would that do anything for you?

 

[Orangefan1]

I mean Pitino knew what to do just not accept? Lol
