It is depressing hearing all the talk about the NCAA tournament and March Madness and knowing we won't be a part of it again.
You donāt know that! 
We have the same chances that everyone else has at this point.
We can go as far as winning will take us.
Chin up! And, full steam ahead! (My 100th post!)

Weāre listed as on the bubble (updated 3/4/08).[/QUOTE]
That is just sad. No!
Must think positive!! Must think positive!!
[QUOTE=49er96;301888]I would like to eat these words butā¦we will be lucky to win one game in the A10 tournament. Bobbyās magic? I think it disappeared. When was the last time we did anything, in any tournament? CUSA about 5-6 years ago? Iām ready for this season to end.

my thoughts exactly
Screw the NIT right in the pooper. Quick, how many people remember who won the NIT 3 years ago? 2? Last year? Who cares. I agree that if we get into it, good, more practice, but thatās it. And weāre on the bubble of the NIT?!? Thatās pathetic to even mention.
CBI, really? I wouldnāt accept an invitation to that either.
*On a side note, I hope everyone realized that I used screw and pooper instead of **** and Ass. Iām cleaning up my typing.

Oooh, oooh! I know. Gamecocks won it three years ago and 2 years ago. 
I donāt remember who won it last year, though.

Thank you. You learn something new everyday.

They should change it to the Dave Odom Invitational. He won it once with Wake and now twice with USC.

West Virginia? just a guess.

Hello, pooper scooper.
Quick! Who won the NCAA tourney 3 years ago? 2? And, last year?

Chapel Hill, Florida, then Floridaā¦
Sorry, that is easy.
[QUOTE=Max Power;301874]I donāt know about thatā¦ The NIT now takes all of the regular season conference winners if they donāt get in to the NCAA tourney, so there are less āat largeā NIT spots available. With an RPI of 96 right now, I would not say we would be in for sure.[/QUOTE]
So, Davidson can knock us out of the NIT if they donāt win their tourney.
Chapel Hill, Florida, then Florida...Sorry, that is easy.
Thanks for the info.:wacko:
And West Virginia won the NIT.

I remember Kentucky winning the NIT in 1976.
I remember winning our first post-season game held on campus in 2006 vs Ga. Southern with only about 2000 in attendance.
Take a look at some photos of our last NIT game.

So, it does mean something.:blah:

Is it standard NIT dealings to have a game on the better teamās campus? I think that is pretty coolā¦ I must admit all Iāve ever seen of the NIT is like the finals of it on ESPN here or thereā¦not each game like I usually watch the NCAA tourney.

There was a time when the NIT was the premier tournament. Sometimes good teams would pass up the NCAA Tourney to go to the NIT.
Well, perhaps not premier, but more prestigious.
I think the first few rounds are held on the campuses of the higher seeded teams, until there are eight remaining that go to New York.

Thatās why weāll probably never host another one.

Haha, that was a pretty sad game (crowd wise) from what I remember though I had the best seats that game I had all year. Hmm I wonder whyā¦
[QUOTE=CLoudNiner;301907]I remember Kentucky winning the NIT in 1976.[/QUOTE] How can anyone from those days forget it? The NIT was still pretty big then and it meant something to play in itā¦
And the team Kentucky beat was CHARLOTTEā¦ ok, okā¦ UNCC back then.

I traveled to NYC to see us beat NCSU and then lose the heartbreaker to the Wildcats.
Cornbread was the ādarlingā of the New York media that week. The excitement at MSG was
real, and not contrived. Leaving the Garden after the semi-final, pedestrians had to dodge
glass falling out of nearby skyscrapers, due to high winds.
To me, the NIT lost a lot of its prestige (I canāt bring myself to say āglamourā) when it
started playing the initial rounds on the various campuses.
Still, I would like to see the re-introduction of the āBobby Lutz Tournamentā this time in the
A-10, rather than Confus-ya. We have the tallent and the athleticism. If only Bobby could
teach maturity, this current bunch of Niners COULD pull it off. We fell to X by only 2 pts.
Itās not time to talk NIT. Weāre ALL IN. Remember?
Anyone going to AC for the tourney?
