Anybody know? Something to look into. I'm hoping an under.500 team can be accepted.

No doubt...but this team is an NIT team. No way are they going to turn down a major conference with an NBA arena and basketball as their major sport.

I think it's a very legit question.

OK Tamu, take a deep breathe. It was a joke, sorta. MArquette is dreadful this year, hard to watch.

25 teams making the NCAA through conference championships alone (depending on year). 68-25 = 43. 43 + 32 NIT teams leaves the top 75 teams getting auto bids into those tournaments. They are not a top 75 team. As for the pro arena point, higher seeds get home games. Which means they'd need to be a top 59 team (43+16).
A CBI best of three championship series with UWM would be a big draw.

I am pretty sure you have to finish .500 to earn an NIT bid. This team is not that good.

MU won't be at the BC since the NCAA Tourney is thrre. Play at the Al.

It's hard to get into the NIT, since auto bids go to mid major who win there league but does not get the auto bid to the big dance.
Maybe we can make another banner with "It's hard to get into the NIT" - put it next to the "2013-2014 - No Bad Losses / No Good Wins" Banner...
that's a good one...

It's true. When about 8 to 10 bids are going to low majors. There are only 20 to 22 bids left. Sorry, if you don't like that. NIT change it's format about 5 years ago.

I'm sorry but I think it's sad that someone is giving up after we are only 5 games into a 18 game conference schedule

It's not giving up as much as it is being realistic.
For God sakes pass on the CBI if it comes to that (and it might). Not worth the bother.

If not the Al, it would be awesome to play a retro game back at the MECCA arena.
Nah, that joint's a rat's nest now.
Xavier after several years in NCAA tournament went 17-14 last year and did not get a bid to any tournament. Right now I be happy with any tournament bid including CBI, but there is a very good possibility we do not get one. Remember the Bradley Center is an NCAA tournament site, so MU would not get a home game. Maybe an MU at UWM or UWGB might be attractive to a tournament committee. I am still hoping for a Big East tournament miracle but barring that I do not think we have any postseason.

They got a CBI bid, and declined it.

When was the last time you were there. The Cell is nice!
If we make the NIT all the Scoopers complaining about the Fox contract should be happy since we'd be on ESPN again.
If we do get the NIT or the CBI, we should absolutely take it. Postseason experience could be invaluable for our young guys.
But I reiterate, to talk about the CBI 5 games into the conference season is ridiculous

Saw Chucky Atkins and South Florida in the NIT under Deane. Still don't buy that the joint is nice, doe.

So, that was 1995. The arena has had upgrades since then.

Brad Stevens didn't pass on it.....so there's that.
Actually, I think the worst we do is NIT. Still believe NCAA has a possibility, but we can't take anymore steps backward.
NCAA/NIT rankings, for what it's worth.

We won't get a home NIT game anyways with the NCAA's in MILW. Remember Kentucky...
nm
Brad Stevens wasn't in a top 7 conference when he did. Pitt drew something like 1500 for a CBI game last year. Even worth the bother to turn the lights on at that point?
Teams recently in the CBI:
2013: Texas, Purdue
2012: Pitt, Butler
2011: Oregon, Creighton
2010: VCU
2009: Stanford
2008: Cincinnati
Of course you play in this tournament. The extra practice and game time would be great for especially the younger players.

Some mis-information in this thread....
We could absolutely host an NIT game at the BC. The NCAA tournament is later in the week. The Bucks are on the road. The Admirals are off.
Of course, I think going on the road is more fun anyways since the NIT sucks and there might be a school like Robert Morris that packs their joint. The BC would be a morgue. Plus, since we don't own our facility, it might make sense financially to decline the home game (as some schools do) and hit the road.
I need to modify....
We will get an NIT bid. My post was about the NIT based on the dates of the tourney...
But I think as part of hosting, the NCAA requires no events at the BC from Tuesday onwards...and that is why they only try to host every few years.
As posted, Creighton was in the CBI in 2011. It was a great learning experience for the players. For some reason, during the CBI games, the offense starting clicking and we really developed an identity on offense. McDermott was a freshman at the time but our offense has been on target since then. Plus, we got to play a 2 of 3 series against Dana Altman and Oregon which made for good drama.

Pitt was in the CBI two season ago. Made the ncaa's last season.
I am just hoping we win the conference tournament.

Thanks for sharing!
Sad MU is the LAST TEAM in the NIT!
That spreadsheet hurt my eyeballs. Ugh. We can play at Tennessee against Maymon in round one.
By the way, San Diego State might be this year's Gonzaga. Top 5 program?...uhm...no, yet there they are. Will the committee give them a 1 seed? Even a 2 seed? Their power ranking numbers suggest a 3 or a 4, but that hasn't stopped the committee in the past.
