NIT or Other Tournament?

[TheGoldCrotchPiece]

Okay now that i'm picking myself off the floor after being incredibly frustrated this week - we all knew the chickens would not win it all.

What are the chances we get an NIT bid? I know they did away with the auto bid for league winners not making the NCAA and but that would be some small silver lining and a better send off for our good players.

I know we got smoked by Wake on the road last time, but if we could host a game vs a Power 4 school in SECU for the first time that would be awesome. Dr. E better be working the phones.

IMO short of making it deep run in the NIT, we need a staff change. This season ended like they always do, massively short of expectations. Time for a change; however I realize this will not happen. 🫠

No NIT

Only option would be the Vegas tournament but assuming we’d have to pay. 
“6” automatic bids to the Big 10, Big 12 & Big East (2 each) then 10 at large. 
Assuming they already decided against or else why would Hicks put his name in the portal.   
We gotta save money for NIL.  
Sports Psychologist already fixed.   They got a paperback copy of Tim S Grover’s book Relentless from the Towson Library.

Just as an example, Bob Rotella charges 6000.00 for a two hour session with a team.....pr at least that was his fee 6 or 7 years ago.

No eligible for it this year.   Shitting the bed in Canada, Columbia and a few others in ooc prevented that

Probably would not have made a difference.

Those non-con losses certainly prevented our 'KNIT' score (whatever that is) from getting to the 125 threshold.  Conference regular season champions such as Northern Colorado (who went 5-5 non-con with best win being...South Dakota St maybe) and Chattanooga (6-5, Bryant perhaps?) got automatics for being above that threshold prior to the conference tournament.  Going 4-8 non-con and missing opportunities vs the likes of Irvine, Kent St, and Robert Morris certainly buried our numbers and the conference's weak power rating wasn't enough to help us in our 16-2 run through it.

Did anyone really want to go to the NIT, even if we had better metrics? If it was an auto bid, I get it. If it was the new Vegas event fine, but with NIL/SAR out there, I don’t see how thrilling it would be to play at some low level high major team like Penn State or Pittsburgh.
