One and done in the NCAA. Recruits don't care about the NIT. They want NCAA appearancesAdv8RU12 said:This actually should be good for CSU. They will play (probably) a lot more games in the NIT than they would have in the Big Dance. They might even win it. Which is better: Win the NIT or one-and-done in the NCAA?
Doesn't even have to be teams like Kansas or K-State. Why are we not calling Nebraska, Wichita State, Iowa State, Iowa, VCU, Richmond, some of the UC schools. There is no reason we can't play some of these other mid major teams that have had recent success. Especially the school close, why are we not doing a Midwest tour every year. I am at work and don't have the ability to access the numbers, but I would bet my paycheck that you switch out Stetson and Southern with teams like the Bugeaters and The Shockers and we would have a much more significant RPI, BPI, and SOS. There are teams that can benefit us without guaranteeing a butt whipping.BeaverPoke said:Hopefully Shyatt takes notice too.
The RPI and wins don't really matter all that much.
We need to go out on the road next year and beat some quality teams. Simple as that. Don't tell me that Montana is quality. IDC what the rpi of Montana is. No one got in the dance because of a win against Montana (besides beating Montana in the Big Sky Championship).
We have got to go on the road and pick up some wins. Over REAL teams. Let's call Kansas. And K-State. Simple as that.

I am ok with that. If we need to go out on the road to earn our place, earn our respect, SO BE IT. I would far rather go play Wichita State and maybe lose a close game, but gain the RPI, SOS, BPI, and experience boosts than to play and blow out Stetson at home and watch all of those fall. That is just me.NowherePoke said:ItSucksToBeACSURam said:Doesn't even have to be teams like Kansas or K-State.

The main reason is that those teams will not return the game in Laramie. At some point we will have to play some road money games like the Ohio st. game last year, but it would be bad form for a MWC team to do that at a MVC or A-10 school. We can play at a Big 12 school though.
I have been one of the more critical posters regarding the schedule, but I know that if Shyatt could have gotten those types of teams to Laramie he would have done so.
