NIT
- Thread starter Ilzion
- Start date
Nope! The NIT isn't the NCAA, but it's better than the NIT of years past.
If we were invited to the CBI, then I would pass on that one. I'd also leave it up to the players. If the majority doesn't wanna play, then you pass on it. If the majority wanna play, then you play in it.
Not allowed anymore. At least, not allowed this late in the game anymore.
This article is from last year, explaining it:

With the NIT being owned by the NCAA, it makes sense that allowing teams to reject a bid would only further diminish the tournament, jeopardizing attendance and TV contracts. How much do invited teams get paid?
I don't think they should turn down an NIT
That being said only 1 game would catch my interest and that's if we play Iona. Either way unless the 1st round game somehow ended up at the Garden then I'm done for the rest of the season like our lack of effort for a good part of the game today.
My vacation can't get here soon enough. I need a temporary break from the team

If we make the NIT Do we have games on ESPN again?
As I said yesterday, where do fans come up with this? Let me repeat this over and over.
St. John's last won an NCAA Tournament game in the year 2000. That's 14 years ago. And the icing on the cake is they've only been there 3 times since then.
Until they prove otherwise, they are an irrelevant program who isn't going to reject any bid.
Are you guys insane???? Yes the ultimate goal is the NCAA Championship, we ALL want that. BUT, everyone on this team that plays is coming back next year. Look at some of the teams that have won past NITs and what they did the following year...Look at Va last year. I remeber Villanova years past winning the NIT, it was exciting. If they go deep into the NIT and possibly win it, Id take that over a first round knock out. Its more growth. Look at the big picture here guys. Am i pissed, yes.....but lets move on...NIT Championship would staify me. They would be one of only a few teams actually playing in a few weeks if that happens. Ill take it, its better for recruiting than a quick knockout or even worse...DECLINE the NIT???? Thats insane!
NIT games will be at CA.
Crowd yesterday was pretty good. Better than the night session by what looked like about 5-10%, and the night session had the bonus of what seemed like 8,000 Creighton fans roaming the building.
The NIT will be a good opportunity for us to get more experience. Just like the Euro Trip and our games in November and December and January. We are heavy on the experiential piece at SJU, light on results.
