Chris Datres 424 Report post Posted February 27, 2022 If we slip up in the conference tourney, the NIT is a pretty decent consolation prize. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody wants to go to the NIT, but I guess for us, it would give us a bit of exposure that is sorely needed. If we finish second and don't win the CAA, I don't see us going to the CBI or CIT. I am confident we will get a NIT at large. Our Net Rating is too strong for us not to....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Who is a good draw? I don't see them picking us over a Northwestern or Rutgers or some .500 shitty SEC team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blounge 521 Report post Posted February 27, 2022 You would think top 64 get into the big dance then the next 64 get to the NIT. Our net is way better than 128 but I guess being that "commuter school in a North Baltimore suburb" doesnt get us any style points. Hope there is a lot of basketball left to he played. I love watching this team. Much more enjoyable than the JB teams that would just get fouled a million times and be the most boring, ugly games to sit through. Happy with the dominant fashion we have played in the past few outings. That's what you want, to be playing your best basketball come March. And of course in "where else but towson" fashion we get 1/2 a game to decide the title. Anarchy? Nope just college basketball Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The NIT won't care, but they do owe us from leaving us out of the postseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does the caa play on espn networks? No. It’s auto bid or bust and has been for years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mat1992 2,238 Report post Posted February 27, 2022 The only way we could have gotten an at-large was to go undefeated in the CAA, get to the Finals, beat Ohio State and probably have one or two losses overall. Then it still might not be 100% in with 68 teams. That's despite our league having a 12 RPI Ranking and JMU helped that with the win over Virginia. How about Drexel in 2012? They went 29-7 overall and 16-2 in a much better CAA with VCU in it and they were left out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
