Message: [QUOTE="shantydaze, post: 2528984, member: 666"] I am indifferent about whether college kids decide to play in the NIT or other lesser tournaments. It is different than football where the extra practices that come with bowl games could be important to a young team. When SU gets knocked out of the tourney (IF, I mean IF), I am usually a little disappointed even if the team played above its talent. I had to look up who and in what round SU lost last year in the NIT as my level of disappointment was about the same as an SU loss in a pre-season tournament. College kids just ended a five month season. The kids at Louisville just ended one of, I expect, emotionally draining seasons of their careers. Its probably not entitlement that had them voting against playing in the NIT, it was likely exhaustion. If I were a Louisville fan, I would probably just want this season over as well. [/QUOTE]
