Poll: Do We Even Want To Be In The NIT?

[Marsh01]

Yeah, I said the same thing as Day2.

Not with you on this one.

Im good with that. Agree to disagree

If I can say getting 6 teams in the Mountain West over the ACC is ridiculous

The acc was terrible this season. Teams just needed to play better

And that matters how? Postseason tournaments are helpful for teams every year.

Duquesne played in the CBI last year. Despite losing in the first round, the coach said it would help them down the road.

They’re in the NCAA tournament this year.

Basketball has changed a lot in the past 20 years. If half of the available players are expected to portal (Judah, JT, Q, Peter Carey), what does playing in the NIT benefit?

Nothing whatsoever

 

[jncuse]

The only way they will likely save the NIT (or keep most teams in play) is they it some sort of "pay for play" hybrid, like that pre-season NIL tourney that is being discussed.

And is that where we want it to go.

Pitt declines NIT invite

Pitt declines NIT invite

Do we want to be like Pitt?

I mean, really.

I think the NIT will become like bowl games for football where kids will sit out if they plan on going to the portal or NBA and the teams that commit to playing will have to play with a shell of a roster.

Deshaun Williams and James Thues left the program after the 2002 NIT. Shumpert and Celuck graduated. Four players going out, four players coming in.

It benefits our coach and the players who stay.

 

[CuseFan]

I still want to watch them as well.
I will always want to watch more SU basketball

 

[OrangePA]

hell no. I want to erase these last few years from my memory. I have zero interest in watching this team again, and honestly zero interest in watching most of these guys next year. Blow it all up.

When you have a chance to win a national championship, you play and compete.

The no’s have it, even though the vote was the other way.

There’s 360 D1 teams the NIT looks no different with these opt outs 90 NIT and 110 NIT aren’t much different. Plenty of schools that will say yes.
