On to the NIT...

Let's win it. If "We're Syracuse" has any meaning at all, then we play to win every tourney we are in. That's what great programs do.
The NIT has a long history and winning it is better than not winning it.
Let's do this.

It's valuable game experience on the road against teams that were fringe NCAAT teams.
Extra games to groom Battle/Lydon/Thompson/Howard etc.

When half of your roster is seniors/5th year guys, the NIT is a afterthought.
I have no doubt these guys will mail it in. We may win 1 game. There's zero chance we win the tourney.

Why does anyone think they can win the NIT because after 32 games, they only won two games on the road. They are who they are and that's average at best.
If we are a No. 1 (should be), all of our games will be at home. I believe it would be 3 home and then if they get to the FF that's in MSG so like our chances.

If Howard hasn't already burned his bridges, I'd tell him "Here's a chance to prove you can play PG to someone other than yourself."

This is how I would view it if I was playing on the team. Win the damn thing.

If Howard can beat the likes of Clemson, G Tech, Cali, Georgia, etc. He's good enough to start the conversation about a second chance.

Now that's the spirit...yippee! If 'We're Syracuse' has any meaning at all, 'great' programs don't place themselves into this situation in the first place.

Boeheim is a grump. But he needs to put a good face on playing in the NIT, hyping New York's team and a desire earn the right to play in one of the most historic venues in the sport.
Syracuse needs to play in the NIT. You assert that you are New York's team. That starts to ring hollow if you don't play in NY's tournament after an invite.

Exactly. The NIT has great history. MSG is a dream place to play. Embrace it.

Have we ever made it to MSG? Tough to get amped for these games.
