If we dont get financially rewarded for NIT then we just need to decline and start tampering

This is the one that bugs me. Completely Against Everything the committee has said the past 6-7 years. I think they are the first team to get in that hasn’t played a Quad 1 game. Hell they only played 2 Q2 games.

I agree with this part. Start scouting now.

How did they get in when we own the head to head and have a lot better quad1 wins. With SOS also

Corch I think it just reaches a point that the amount of losses out weight everything else.. 16 (17) losses is just too many for people to overlook... and rightfully so imo.

Jang I think it depends on how many of these players we think are coming back.. if we have 5+ coming back its probably worth it to keep giving them games.. also more games for SP to get some experience and even though its the NIT it would be his first tournament experience.. If a bunch of players are leaving though, then there's really no reason to play.

Sends the wrong message of what they want in the prior to conference play begins.

This is what happens when you blow big leads going into the last 10 minutes of play….

All this amounts to is recency bias. Non of their arguments holds weight. It also means we shouldn't schedule so hard early on if this is how they'll place teams.

So SMU and Miami (OH) play in game. So dumb. Even with our struggles we would kick both their asses

How about blowing a 16pt lead at home vs AM in matter of 90 seconds.

Oh well the party is over I guess. Sucks to be a bubble team.

Time to get better.

We can argue over who deserved it less but we did not earn a bid and all the shoulda, coulda and woulda won't change that.

We are on the Virginia plan, Steven will be fired next year and we will have to get a new coach, hope he hits it in the portal and try and get back to tourney in 2028. Steven Pearl does not have what it takes to be a good coach. Bookmark this shite,

Bruce needs to donate some of that CBS money to the NIL so we can buy another player or two.
