No post season, 1st time in 30 years
- Thread starter KcTo
- Start date
It will be interesting how many teams decline that tournament. Coaching changes, Half the team in the portal . Why is it so late? Most teams will be shut down by the time it starts. Good idea but bad timing.Not so fast my friends...
i'm guessing tv coverage? between the ncaa and the nit, most days are occupied. both start on 3/18 and the only days that don't have ncaa or nit games are 3/24 and 4/2, 4/4 and 4/6.
No doubt. Even though the NIT has had the second class reputation as would be expected, there were typically still some high-quality teams in it, many who probably should have made the NCAA Tourney and could have made some noise in it. If the 16th place team in the B1G plays in it this year, I will lose all remaining respect I had for it. I still remember my Dad talking about how the NIT used to the THE postseason tourney in the fledgling stages of college basketball ('30s-early '50s).
The PMac effect.Current Kenpom:
70. Butler
71. UC Irvine
72. Yale
73. Iowa
Did anyones bingo card have a 5 way tie for 14th, with IOWA winning on the road, needing NCAA bound Lil Debby needed to lose the last 4?
Amazing
Amazing
It is amazing, and yes, that's why they play the games.
Unsure, Could be a 5 way tie of 11-15, w/ Iowa collecting 15th seed in BTT…via tie breakers….
One NIT Bracket moved us up four spots, so 24th with eight teams below but would be a road game.
The other moved us to a 3 seed as the B10 automatic rep with a home game. They have PSU, USC and Rutgers also getting at larges.

2 BIG10 teams Are committed to the Crown. Goes by final NET rankings I believe. Northwestern and Nebraska are as of right now unless we upset OSU!!
This didn’t age well.
The CBC will take 10 at large teams from the B1G, Big 12, and Big East as well to fill in the final 16. (After the six automatic qualifiers)
I believe it’s uncertain if the entire bracket will be made up of teams from these conferences or if they’ll go outside of them.
The NIT has guaranteed one team from the B1G, but the teams have the right to opt out as well.
Good to know we can’t count on your for all critiques using the power of 20 / 20 hindsight
It was incorrect by the thinnest of margins. I think you're abusing the term to use it here.
Some on this forum seem to hope for the team and coach to fail. And some seem to have zero concept of how competitive the league is. Yeah, I think it's time for Fran to move on. Yeah I wish we had more success in NCAA tourney. But this is only the second conference losing record in the last 12 years. I haven't checked, but I doubt many teams have fewer.
