Yep.... We play Tuesday on ESPNU.

Could end up playing Belmont again.

 

[mjmaherjr]

too bad we don't play iona

 

[monte]

we are a 1 seed...LOL

Seriously, that probably says we weren't too far away from making the NCAA Tournament. Close, but no cigars.

A win against PC away

 

[Valgoth]

im sure someone else pointed this out, but

we didnt deserve to make it, but "6 A-10" teams....made me vomit in my mouth

Lav:

Mentioned his Dad played in The NIT.

We are fired up!

Need to turn our attention to Robert Morris. Need to get ready for Tuesday night.

This is about building a program. Our goal is to be a sustainable winner.

Talked about progression of wins over last 3 years.

Opportunity to give underclassmen chance to develop.

Naturally we wanted to play in The NCAA but The NIT has a rich history and tradition going back to Coach Lapchick and Carnesecca.

If you look at their RPI and SOS, all 6 deserved it over us.

 

[ghostzapper]

If seed form holds we would get a game against Illinois on campus in the third round. That could be a good match up.

losses to Depaul, Penn State and Xavier sealed our fate

The A-10 is a good league. That's why the Big East poached it!!!!

I didn't know we have the most NIT wins with 6. Let's go for 7 baby!!

Give Coach credit. He'd sell ice cream cones outside right now and make them sound good. Heck I might go get some ben and jerrys before the walking dead starts

LOL

I hear 'ya! But frankly, he didn't say anything out of the ordinary. It was rather simple and coach speak.

He is an excellent salesman for sure. Cookies and Cream sounds pretty good to me right now!

They deserved it but I dont think they are better then the Big East. Alot of bottom feeders to pick on in the A-10. If teams like Dayton in UMASS were in the Big East they wouldn't make the tourney IMO

Mike Anderson is speaking similarly to Lavin.

Providence seeded #11 after winning the conference tourney.
Xavier in a play-in game.
SJU gets a #1 seed in the NIT.

All says shows that if we would've just beaten Providence, we'd be in the NCAAs.

And big time SMH@ Lavin- "We start 3 underclassmen". Really? Really?

Never will you hear this guy take accountability.

The Arkansas coach?

He said "we didn't do enough".

Lavin said "we start 3 underclassmen".

Different.
