49ers would accept NIT berth following ouster by Temple
Not that it makes us feel any better, but our old friends over at Charlotte would trade places with us in a second.
49ers’ head coach Aaron Fearne said...
“[The NIT] is another opportunity for the guys to play and grow. Last year we played in the [College Basketball Invitational] and that was an awesome experience. Playing postseason basketball is generally very physical and competitive. You learn to perform under pressure to keep moving on because if you don’t, you’re done.”
"Charlotte guard Lu’Cye Patterson is hoping to play in another postseason tournament for the 49ers’ seniors. Any postseason tournament, whether it be the NIT or NCAA tournament are big tournaments,” he said. “So, I am down to play, especially for the senior guys like Robert [Braswell] and Jackson [Threadgill]. I wouldn’t want this to be the last time they go out wearing a Niners jersey. So, whatever presents itself, the NIT or anything would be good momentum going into next season. I’m down to play if that opportunity presents itself.”
