So I see Mississippi, Pitt and St. John’s have already announced they won’t accept NIT invitations. Collegiate sports . . . what to make of it? No thanks to postseason bids, players opting out of bowl

So by that logic, if we can't win the NCAA championship, no other championship is worth pursuing? I will remember (and most USF fans will remember) if we win the NIT, and that's all I care about.

I'm sure the players would still want to keep playing,

Not if we beat them by 20.

I was talking about the tournament. Thought they would get both.

Knew what you meant but just don't want to ever lose sight of what we did win ...

Sorry man can’t get excited about the NIT like you. Wasn’t saying it wouldn’t be good for USF. Do you know if we will actually make money off the NIT? 

I didn't say I was excited to be in the NIT. I am, however, excited that I get to see this team play more games. Of course, I'm disappointed about missing out on the big tournament, but since that didn't happen, all we have left is the reality of the games USF does get to play. I plan to thoroughly enjoy every game left. 🤘

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn After AAC tourney loss, Charlotte wants to keep playing - The Charlotte Post

WWW.THECHARLOTTEPOST.COM
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.”

Not sure if I missed something, but I didn’t see a second automatic home team from the PAC. Utah is in, but I believe Washington was also slated to receive a home game. Presumably they opted out but then did the entire rest of the PAC below them turn down the NIT as well?

Looks like Utah is the only PAC 12 team playing.

Looks like the Big East took that spot.

Yeah, even then.  

But it doesn't wipe out what was an unexpectedly great season.   

I can be simultaneously proud of what the Bulls accomplished and sick of the whole system these days.

I'm pretty sure most of the posters on this board would have been thrilled if they were told that this team would reach the NIT after we started 2-4.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
