Do we even make NIT?

[KenoshaWarrior]

They only take 32 and about 10 are filled already.  We have lost 4 in a row?

I'd say 90% chance we make it.  Maybe 95%

[🏀]

Yes.

[MUeng]

honestly i don't think we get an invite, nor should we.  oh well, anyone else excited for Ahmed Hill?!

I'm excited for Mayo du Wilson and burton.
Actually really excited for next year

[bilsu]

I think it is questionable, but not because we lost four in a row. You have to figure they will take St. John's and Georgetown. Seton Hall is now eligible for NIT bid and if they beat Providence and lose in championship game, I would think they get an NIT bid. I am assuming that both Xavier and Providence get NCAA bids. It happens, but 4 NIT bids for a conference is a lot.

Cheese and crackers, Nate.

[brandx]

ONLY because of our name - we didn't earn it.

those 3 together could be nasty.  no idea who the other 2 will be but...

[warriorstrack]

I will be on pins and needles for NIT, but any post-season tourney will be good

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

I'm a little nervous. Lots of regular season champs are failing to win the auto-bid. Still think we make it though.

Burton's play tonight made me very excited for next season

after december, Fischer

[warriorstrack]

after december, Fischer

Can we get the UW game after 1st semester grades are posted?

[bradley center bat]

Yes. May of lost the home game.

[MU82]

If we get an NIT bid, I'm sure I'll watch because I'm a glutton for punishment.

If we don't get an NIT bid, I will be neither surprised nor upset.

I hope we turn down a CSI: Crime Scene Investigation bid.

[RushmoreAcademy]

Is NIT selection also on Sunday?

Yes, Fischer after December, but I have hopes that JJJ will be one of the two.  4 guard offense baby! 

[rocket surgeon]

75-80% chance we get in.  name recognition and if they could pair us up against uw-green bay at the bc.  attendance attendance attendance.  then you've got the mu connection with wardle, and the public vs private school thing.  the nit selection committee tends to lean toward school participation/school spirit like the minor football bowls do.  they use that aspect to help wean out the "bubble teams"

[badgerbldg]

Two factors make me think we won't get in. First, the number of teams from the Big East that are ahead of us in the "bid line."  Second is that if the game is to be played at the Al, there won't be much of a payday for theNIT and we all know it's about the money.

[chapman]

Not a given.  If we do I expect to be on the road.  Not going to be a top seed, and not offering enough dollars with a game at the Al.

[willie warrior]

Other than a few fans on this board, and maybe the team, nobody really cares about the NIT. The Dance is the Dream.

[KenoshaWarrior]

I would certainly watch.

They will obviously play a team much like us and it will make for exciting basketball.

To be honest, I probably will not watch much of the NCAA at all.

Just to correct one of the misconceptions that seems to be repeated in this thread: The NCAA now owns the NIT and no longer uses projected attendance or television ratings as factors. They aren't trying to create attractive matchups, pack houses, pick big or recognizable names, generate revenue--either from tickets or television, etc.

ok, then what is their new tournament model?  is it to create the next level/tier/ratings for the ncaa?  serious question because i really haven't heard about this

Just as I always suspected - money is not important to the NCAA
