Title: We go from the NCAA bubble Post by: Tnphil on March 13, 2017, 03:55:08 EDT to can't sniff the NIT all in less than 3 weeks. :banghead:
Bama.....Ole Miss....UGA....A&M get NIT invite. Title: Re: We go from the NCAA bubble Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on March 13, 2017, 05:59:59 EDT Very disappointing, but I don't think that this team deserved an invite. The collapse during the final few weeks was unbelievable.
Title: Re: We go from the NCAA bubble Post by: RIPLEYVOL on March 13, 2017, 06:04:00 EDT Corch said he wouldn't have went with the invite. He is starting to work on next year.
Title: Re: We go from the NCAA bubble Post by: BanditVol on March 14, 2017, 02:48:32 EDT Bama was being mentioned as a bubble team, so I am not surprised they went to the NIT.
I am not happy that we didn't go to the NIT, but it honestly doesn't do a whole lot for the program. Maybe a recruit will see a game at some point, but looking at a team's resume in terms of accomplishments the NIT doesn't add much other than "better than nothing". That being said, I would have welcomed it as a chance to see the team in action again, and if by some miracle they win it, well that does add a bit of prestige. So I guess I'm mildly disappointed... :dunno: I will say that I think Barnes was a good hire, and he has an excellent chance of turning things around. |
