Why? No one cares about the NIT. Its as useless as the CBI or whatever those scrimmage games are called.Committee going to punish us again next time we’re on the bubble if we don’t accept tbh.
Because we’re the whipping boys this year. It’s our turn to prop the tournament up.Why? No one cares about the NIT. Its as useless as the CBI or whatever those scrimmage games are called.
They’re not.Committee going to punish us again next time we’re on the bubble if we don’t accept tbh.
They can do whatever they want.They’re not.
As long as we don’t blow a 10 point lead with a minute to go against a terrible team…..we good!!!
LMAOUNC says "No" to the NIT. Preseason #1 makes history as the first #1 to not make the NCAAs.
So was our O ...the last 65 seconds against Minny.Yea. Call it a day.
NIT IS POINTLESS
It wasn’t a win though lol,They can do whatever they want.
The could have also said, well that OSU game was a win. And that MSU game was technically neutral.
They decided not to.
Yup, play for next year.The freshman need to play. Let Wolf play 15 minutes.
Agree we should play. Disagree on rationale. Play to win the game.The freshman need to play. Let Wolf play 15 minutes.
Q2 win**It
It wasn’t a win though lol,
This^^^^. Days like this show how much of an image problem we still have in some places. I'm also afraid we have no one at Rutgers that has any presence/influence anywhere in the world of college athletics. Declining an NIT Invitation will make no one at the NCAA happy...they run the NIT, too, I believe. Did any of these teams decline NIT invitations recently?You send the middle finger to the NCAA committee by playing and winning the NIT. You don't do it by whining and declining. Lets play, could be great growth for a lot of guys.
Their ego wouldn't allow nothing less than the Dance. even if playing in the NIT might help work on what keep them from dancingUNC says "No" to the NIT. Preseason #1 makes history as the first #1 to not make the NCAAs.
I'm sure the decision was not up to Hubert Davis. The Ram's Club gets what the Ram's Club wants.Their ego wouldn't allow nothing less than the Dance. even if playing in the NIT might help work on what keep them from dancing
We will almost certainly be a #1 seed and play either Yale or Hofstra in Round 1, with the possibility of a SHU rematch in Round 2.I count 11 AQ's for the NIT if I understand the AQ policy correctly.
Morehead St (OVC)
Southern Miss (Sun Belt)
Bradley (MVC)
Eastern Washington (Big Sky)
Hofstra (CAA)
Youngstown St (Horizon)
Alcorn St (SWAC)
UC Irvine (Big West)
Sam Houston St (WAC)
Yale (Ivy)
Toledo (MAC)
You know Bob, we have had our differences on this board in the past, but this may be one of the greatest posts of all time. Couldn’t agree more.I can’t believe the childlike attitude some are displaying tonight. Did we get hosed? Probably a B1G yes. Did we ultimately cause this scenario by piss poor play over last 5 weeks? I ‘d say we did. Should we go if invited to the NIT ? Without question yes again. Should we stop rooting for these guys ? NO… even at this level you never give in to those that gave us the shaft . Go out and win the next 5 games.That’s all a crazy season with many more to follow in the years ahead. I only wish I was 20 years younger in order to reap the benefit of finally getting there.
If we get dumped early, that demonstrates we didn't belong in the big boy tourney! Play it...win it!!Decline it. It’s gonna be more embarrassing when we get dumped early.
Tell that to Michigan, Wisconsin, Villanova - three of the proudest basketball brands - and Oregon and Clemson etcDecline it. We're in the best basketball conference in the country. The goal every year is to win the NCAA tournament; not the Little Sisters of the Poor Invitational. Let the Ivy League schools play the Mountain West.
"We appreciate the invitation, but our goal was to make and win the NCAA Tournament. We did not meet our goal and our season has ended. Good luck to the other Big 10 teams that the NCAA selection committee felt belonged in the tournament."
No, it demonstrates nothing of the sort. The NCAA selection process is based on body of work. It is not intended to be predictive.If we get dumped early, that demonstrates we didn't belong in the big boy tourney! Play it...win it!!
Yeah, I don't really care about what they do.Tell that to Michigan, Wisconsin, Villanova - three of the proudest basketball brands - and Oregon and Clemson etc
The gut reaction for many is to turn it down, this is understandableHinson's junior year played in NIt and next year in NCAA. You people can stay home.
