Any chance for us

As Lloyd said in Dumb and Dumber, “So you are tellin’ me there’s a chance.”

A chance. Prolly not a good one. A lot will depend on one bid leagues regular season champion winning the tournament, So far that has not gone well.

Anyone find any NIT projections that have us in it?

Nope. We were in until that stretch with UNCG and ETSU in which we lost and the prognosticators didn't like that. There aren't many that prognosticate the NIT though. I have seen D Ratings and the Barking Crow with Joe Stunardi but there aren't many that bracket it. Don't know how accurate they are.

VMI just accepted a bid to the CBI, so some bids are going out early. The NIT waits until selection Sunday.

It sounds like our AD is going to make sure we get into the CBI or whatever else there is, unless some miracle happens and we get into the NIT. It also sounds like our AD is going work as hard as possible to get us one or more home games.

If it is the CBI there are no home games. Its a 16 team 5 day tourney in Daytona Beach.

We will get into the NIT, especially after the national attention we received from our game yesterday. I doubt that team is interested in the CBI, or those other tournaments that we have to pay to play.

NIT with a home game against either clemson or SC.

Hope you are right, Roundball. This team deserves a tournament, not a torniquet.

They would refuse a bid before playing at FU. BTW need to pull for Bryant and South Dakota St. tonight.
