Too bad we blew a 15 point lead at home against KState.
Let's talk B12 bubbles ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
Surly we are safely in the tourney now.
Your Cats play like a tourney team as well. Small consolation but they'll probably win the NIT.
Surly send Pack our way when Bruce gets fired we will need a new Brockington next yr
Whoever follows Weber needs to first recruit Nijel. He's is such a fine player with two years left to play. But it would not surprise to see him leave for home: Butler, IU, or Purdue.
NIT is likely landing spot for K-State, I concur.

We had the same kind of situation with Tyrese Hunter last year, except he hadn't played for us yet. TJ's first priority was to make sure our top-40 recruit didn't go anywhere.
Winning record/.500 no longer required for NIT.
I'm not sure how many times a sub-.500 has gotten an invite since rule changed, though.
That may be the case but it's very hard for a major conference team to make the NIT if they are like 16-14. I doubt it happens.
My initial response wasn’t in reference to how often it occurs, but that .500 or better isn’t a requirement.
I agree being near .500 and getting NIT invite is low probability for major conference teams, but it does happen.
“Big 5” conference teams within 2 of .500 (or worse) has occurred … Going back to 2015 …I won’t count 2021, since it was smaller field .. 2020 no NIT, of course.

Tang was good enough for the Gemini astronauts and that is good enough for me.
I don't think he thinks he's coming back. He's already pinching pennies by not going to the barber. He knows that he can't be spending money on extravagances like hair cuts when he'll be unemployed in a month.
