Where did I say winning during the regular season gets you in?

Copy paste please

Ask Cincy fans if they'd like to be still playing in the NIT. I'm pretty sure I know the answer

Bull94,

Quit comparing low-major regular season champs losing in their conference tourneys and getting shut out to USF and the AAC.

We are in a league where that probably would never happen.

I'm not comparing them.

 

you guys stated that only teams that win during the regular season make ncaa's and losers go to NIT. I proved that notion wrong.

 

SMU and Cincy had very similar seasons. they split head to head.

 

SMU and UConn had identical conference records. SMU beat them twice.

 

SMU had a better record than Memphis and they split.

 

The top of the NIT tourney has arguably better low majors and just as good middle tier majors as the NCAA. It's a quality tournament.

 

No they don't have the prestige and No the top 25 teams are in the NCAAs but I'd rather win a quality national tournament over losing in the first round any day. Hell the NIT champ is usually good enough to have won 1 or 2 games in NCAAs easily.

 

BTW the SMU example isn't the only one .

Memphis and SMU were both 23-9 heading into post season...so our records were the same...we had a better RPI and 5 top-25 wins.

Just for the record.

That said, SMU should have been in over NC State...better record, better RPI, wins over @UConn, UConn, Cincy, Memphis.

You will not find a thread as stupid as this on any major basketball schools message board.

 

THE GOAL IS TO MAKE THE NCAAT.

 

Not to win the losers bracket that nobody watches.

I've always said they should make the NIT or some other tournament for the first 32 out of the NCAA tourney.

Winning in the losers bracket. Classic.

 

you are choosing to LOSE.

 

 

They can tap dance all around it, but that is the bottom line. In this case, they're choosing a moral victory over a real one ... Gotta give props to Duck Head for dredging up this incendiary device again.
