NIT or the Big Dance

[SDPokeFan]

They’re going to be out. End of year collapse will cost them a bid.

 

[SDPokeFan]

Well shows what I know. Play in game! Go get it!

 

[WestWYOPoke]

We're in!

I don’t give a shit how good your conference is, if you lose 14 games you should not ever get in. Getting the play in game is lame.

I figured with that UNLV win we would be a 12 seed or a play in. Just goes to show until you have multiple years consecutively appearing in the tournament you just don’t get that benefit of the doubt.

Without UNLV we would be in the NIT or CBI. So hopefully we can manage to get through the play-in and keep rolling.

Plus, they have a coach that likes to get in fights. It shows how these selection committee's are biased towards big schools. Who knows? There may even be a payout or two for those committee members that got Michigan in.

Glad we got in but I don’t think we can beat Indiana honestly. Hope we do but not going to hold my breath. Of course no matter who we had to match up against I figured it would be tough and Wyoming would likely lose.

We play Tuesday. So not much time to prepare.

This is the worst part of this draw. Our team needs some damn rest and a full week would have been nice

Also Indiana is only a 2 hour drive to Dayton and Indiana has a rabid basketball fan base. Will be like playing a road game.

I'm a Michigan fan (behind my alma mater, of course) and I don't get it. B1G gets 8 teams in. Michigan has had a horrible season. WAY underperformed. Shouldn't be a tournament team. There were many more deserving teams.

Two reasons...they are a NAME school and they'll give high t.v. ratings especially if their coach gets in another fight. Ratings gold.

A lot of at-large teams get in only because of how well the t.v. ratings will be if they are in.

Anytime you hear the word committee, you know there will be “Tom foolery”. Nothing more than politics……

Yep. Sadly...

They got in because they had the 5th rated SOS and their good wins were really good.

Indiana gets less rest than we do if you are worried about that. They played Saturday.

They're a bit deeper than us was my main concern. We have 3 players average over 30 min/game. They have 1.

What a surprise. Your glass isn't just half empty, it's broken... :roll:

This, exactly, should apply to everything you say.

 

[ragtimejoe1]

At-large bid is a hell of an accomplishment. Congrats and great job to the coaches and players!

I said on other social media that I thought Virginia Tech and Richmond knocked us out, but I am happy to be wrong!
