For an at large selection process we should live in a world where that’s a big part of the process. Hell it’s just a clearer understanding of the “eye test” which everyone wants to heavily rely on.
Mistake. Move everyone up one slot and the next team after Florida is St John's
I just don't agree but it's a philosophical difference that I can't see getting resolved.
I don't want to use the "eye test" either.
Many have not updated after SMU's loss. Which maybe shouldn't matter but it sure seems like our loss to Iowa did
Respectfully disagree. Seeing our name called today is an achievement that will allow us to hold our heads up high all off-season. It will mean 3 straight years of success, real meaningful success. Not building block success like football these last couple of years, not Billett & Hodgson success where we’re happy just to be taken seriously. I mean actual this-is-what-you-play-the-game-for success. Play-in games are being part of the tournament as much as being a 1 seed is. You’re in the brackets. Playing at Madison Square Garden against Virginia Commonwealth is not success. The philosophical difference between losing a play-in game and winning 5 straight in the NIT is larger than you are recognizing.
I would decline an NIT spot if this team doesn't get in. There's zero chance this team would take the NIT seriously and would go one and done.
Disagree 100%. No one cares about the NIT
Yep. I literally would not pay any attention to the NIT if RU is in it and I bet the team wouldn't take it seriously at all.
I’d be willing to bet you’d be paying attention if they make it to the Garden.
Only benefit to NIT is if you have a young team who just missed out on the tournament. Use the NIT as opportunity to get better and set the stage for next season.
NIT with a veteran-laden team would be hard to get up for.

I mean I’ll watch us play but really won’t be on seats edge anymore like I’ve been all season.
Putting RU in the First Four seems like a nice safe decision for the committee. Likely the best outcome that we can expect.
And that's the thing...does Geo, Ron, etc get up to play in the Consolation Tourney? I highly doubt it.
so your prior post was an exaggeration. Lots of that on this board.
NIT finals >>>>>>>>>>> losing a play in game
Lol 1 seeds in the NIT are more likely to mail it in than make a run to MSG.
Bracket Dave has us as an 11 seed this morning.
Not sure if anyone pays attention to Fonseca on here but he's so lost on bracketology. Yesterday he declared Dayton losing to Richmond was bad for us and today's it's we're 100% out if Richmond wins.

I don't see the team caring enough to want to get to MSG if they end up in the NIT. The NIT is good for young teams to get experience. A senior heavy team like us would half ass it.
We literally do all the work for free in this thread lol
Disagree. Just because I’ll watch. Doesn’t mean it’s better than the first four. I watch pre season football. But don’t care about it much.
Probably for our case, only the Davidson result matters. Texas A&M is likely in already, so if they won they would just maybe move ahead of us, not kick us out
Fonseca sold his soul when Sarge moved on. Nothing to see here, folks.
Also you don't decline the NIT that's so dumb. Even Kentucky played in it when they missed the dance (not last year when they were not even NIT quality)
Which is kind of BS if they in over us. They were on no one’s radar prior to this weekend. What happened to whole body of work versus recency bias.
Do you honestly see this team taking the NIT seriously if they end up there? I don't.
No...it shows that the Conso Tourney is beneath them which it should be for senior heavy high majors.
i do. Last few games playing with each other.
again, if they don’t take it seriously their true colors will show
Having trouble seperating Michigan/ Indiana/ Rutgers
2 go to Dayton..one is an 11. Michigan has the best metrics but most losses 6-12 vs field. Rutgers has best wins 8-6 but worst metrics. Indiana is consistent in both but yet not as dynamic as the other 2. Very tough to call
Along my last in spot i am having trouble seperating Wyoming, Notre Dame, and Xavier. Wyoming is just 3-5 vs field picked up one when Fullerton won last night yet 11 q1 wins are they legit. Notre Dame has a big win vs Kentucky but just 2-7 vs field and 4-9 in q1/2. Xavier is 5-9 vs field yet its overall an unspectacular resume at 18-13 tgat we see ledt out all the time. None of their 5 q1 wins are high end
Really tough call

Its a solid resume without warts. I said in my analysis early in the week if they made the finals they were in. They got 2 very good high end q1 wins to go with 3 quality wins they had. They dont have the q4 loss
Their true colors will show? I would decline an invite, if they didn't decline, then just give a ton of minutes to Reiber, Mag, Palmquist, Hyatt, Agee, Miller and Jones (if healthy).
There is no badge of honor for having to play in a meaningless tournament
