NIT 2022

Mississippi State is making a huge run in the SEC Tournament. What could have been had we pulled that game against them. A win there might have gotten us in the NIT for sure. Oh well. Still holding out hope for that bid.

They went 1-1 in the SEC tourney

Thanks for correcting my mistake. All of these games have fried my brain. It was Texas A&M that is making the run.

An interesting dilemma.

If Furman doesn't get into the NIT and we pack it in for the year, at least the program and its supporters know that our team didn't leave anything on the floor in Asheville - we finished with a BANG, not a whimper.

How would it feel to sign up for a pay-to-play in order to prolong our season only to be eliminated by someone like . . . let's say Wofford?

We all know how that would feel.

Still, a win in that 1 game, plus 1 more such as Winthrop or Navy or another regular season conference win would have gotten us in NIT. As previously stated, for Furman, every regular season game is important.

Mississippi St.’s one win was a great one. Beat SC by 22!!!

leaves Furman out of NIT, but includes NET SCarolina(93), Virginia (81), Richmond(85),
but Furman NET 79
I hope they do look at NET

Seems we are going into tomorrow with a shot at NIT, Ill take anything even if its CBI or Classic, just want some more hoops this season

Furman keeps throwing out these teasers. It sure sounds like we are playing somewhere in the postseason.

Current Record, NET and KenPom
Furman 22-12, 80, 75

teams projected in NIT
Virginia 19-13, 83, 83
Drake 24-10, 81, 84
Richmond 22-12, 82, 85
Oregon 19-14, 76, 79
Belmont 25-7, 71, 82
St Bonaventure 20-9, 85, 88
Rutgers 18-13, 77,74
so if committee actually pays attention to the rankings we may be ok
Clemson and SC are currently out of NIT projections

Today is the day we find out our fate, can't imagine the school would put something like that out unless they knew we are going to participate in something this postseason

[Davemeister]

Hypothetical Question: If the NIT doesn't pan out, which tournament should the Paladins enter?

yep. unfortunately an underperforming VA even if below Dins will probably get the eye candy nod.

IDK why there are even these metrics. They created the NET a couple years ago to be the end all for rankings. If its not gonna be used just trash it

[apaladin]

I think we will be listed as first 5 out of the NIT unfortunately. Just not enough spots. What is bad is we will be beat out by teams at .500 and ones 1-3 games above .500.

NIT selection show is at 9 tonight on ESPNU. The womens tourney has 64 teams so look for the lady Paladins to be in. Wish the mens would go to 64.
