Who can blame them, the NIT blows.

Hey Louisville,

Take your dollar bills and coach funded booze to your favorite local hole because you get to celebrate hosting your very own first round NIT game.

Feel bad

Can this (accepting NIT bid) be positioned as self-imposed sanctions?

 

[Owens guy]

If a school lets the players vote on playing in the NIT the school is basically telling them the NIT isn't worth playing in and/or looking for an out.

I think Lville is looking to get rid of Padgett asap and playing in the NIT will only delay that as Lville wants to be able to jump in on a new coach search asap before Motta or others are gone.

They would have had to announced a post-season ban previoulsy, can't get left out and then say "oh were going to self sanction now by not playing Idaho on Tuesday night in front of 112 people in the NIT"

 

[Alsacs]

Just find 6-7 kids who will play.
Play the game tomorrow. You will lose the season ends.
The school owes the tournament a team.
They don’t have to play all their players but they should have enough to field a respectable team.
They can tank without tanking.

Something tells me this is going to be the last tournament Louisville is invited too for a long time. They have zero recruits coming in.

Just go to the NIT and don't make your basketball program look any worse than it does.

 

[Orangello]

Give the five hottest strippers one day schollies and roll the ball out. I would definitely watch.

 

[Halfmooncuse]

They are having their own tourney. The Stormy Daniels Classics! Kentucky Evangelists get in free.

I mean, they'd be men.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[texascpa]

If this was a vote sanctioned by Padgett, then it will be interesting to see how the players and Padgett react. If the players voted without Padgett's knowledge, then the players have no respect for their coach.

According to some folks on their board the team voted against the NIT but the new AD told them they are playing.

You realize this is the men's tournament right?

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

 

[Newhouser]

I get what the kids are doing. They are beat down over this whole thing, and can't have much interest in continuing this season.

 

[Shark58]

NIT $$ can buy a bunch of lap dances

true story

 

[RF2044]

Those kids probably want to spend the extra time focusing on where they should transfer to.

Hard to blame them.

 

[BlackSquirrels]

It's Spring Break at Louisville this week. Dudes, just take a quick L tomorrow night, go home and start packing. You'll be able to catch a few hours of Zs before hopping on your flights to Cancun and you'll be on a beach by early Wednesday afternoon.

Under this scenario, the Cards might be able to break the record SU set in 1997 for being the most disinterested team in NIT history.

 

[81South]

What’s the spread for this game? Bet big against the Ville?

 

[blust2i3d4]

Since the school no longer hired strippers to entertain them, life of Louisville basketball and football players are pretty miserable.

Bill Clinton will ref

What if they say no? What will the school do? Pull their scholarships?

 

[OrangeDW]

B-ball players who don’t want to play b-ball...smh. Disgusting.

 

[81South]

I wouldn’t put anything past the new administration.

BTW it looks like Ville is giving between 7 to 10 points in Vegas.
