MU as a 6 seed as of 2/10:

Not sure if a lower seed team gets a home game, but it's a start!

I'm not giving up on an NCAA bid...until we are ousted from the Big East tournament we have a chance...but, the disappointment of not making the big dance would certainly be softened if we ended up playing Bucky in the NIT and beat them for a second time this year...or, (drooling a bit), if somehow Virginia Tech got in as well and we hosted Buzzard and his boys for an NIT game in Milwaukee.   

Mu2323

Hate talking about the NIT because this team is no doubt a top 35 team  this year. If they ended up a 6 seed in that bracket they would run through that bracket like a hot knife through butter. They have played big boy after big boy and would play byu, st bon, rhode island. Child please.

In all seriousness, think there's a chance MU ends up in this:

The upside of being in the NIT:

The boys would be playing locally.  No chance of that if they make the NCAA.

It would be awesome if they played  in the Al.  Should be plenty of room for real fans given so many of y'all think an NIT bid would mean that the team is a complete failure.
Have some patience, FFS.

Probably not... once you get away from the NCAAT and NIT, it starts costing the schools money to participate in these tournaments, and I don't think MU is going to pay to be in a post-season tournament based on their declined invite to the CBI a couple years ago.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

There is no upside, chick. The NIT would be an abject failure and an embarrassment to the program. In other comment streams, folks are talking about ending their fanhood of MU because they can't take it anymore. We will miss those loyal fans so much, and an NIT bid might actually result in some ex-Scooper suicides. See the hell that Wojo has wrought? Oh, the humanity!

Top 35 - REALLY? 

You are watching a different team than I am.  This team has its moments, but they lack any and all consistency to be anywhere near the top 35 in my opinion.

I disagree Benny.  That team 2 years ago had been picked to win the BEast, was Senior laden, and Buzz had a full step out the door.  It was time to move on.  There was absolutely no benefit to be gained.  This year is 180 degrees different.  And it'll be a helluva lot cheaper than Italy.  I'd guess they'd go in a heartbeat if invited to the CBI or Vegas.  But let's shoot for the NCAA and cheer like h*ll if they get a home game in the NIT as a consolation.

First I've heard of this. Do they expect teams to pick this over the NIT, or is this more of an alternative to the CBI?

Teal, right '82?  I agree with chick.  I'd absolutely love a NIT game in the Al as a consolation prize.  Heck, I'm quite confident that if they end up in the Vegas tourney chick will insist that we go and make a long weekend of it in the sunshine.

Talent wise, perhaps.

MUST be the latter.  With the auto-bids, locked in TV, etc. the NIT is still quite legit.  Not what it was in 1970 but still legit.

I love it.  Easter frickin' Sunday.   8-)  Vegas baby!   ;D

I realize in most years Marquette would turn down most non-NCAA tournament spots, but this year's team should take what it can get.  Any game, tournament, or postseason experience would do wonders for this young team (specifically, Wilson, Cheatham, Cohen and Wilson). 

Any additional games they can get, they should take without hesitation.

I've now seen it all. bracketology for NIT is awesome. Mid major fan bases will eat this stuff up, hoping to be on the bubble, ect. It's actually pretty cool. Just not for us :)

A solid run through the NIT would be a great result for this year and this team.  Good trajectory.  Just b/c we have Providence's number doesn't mean we're world beaters.

A UWM (Ken Pom #125) vs. MU (#103) game would be a very competitive NIT game.  Plenty of venues to choose from to play the game.

Heck, MU alone has three home courts:  The BC, the Al, and Allstate.
