Are we going to make the NIT?
Mar 2, 2016, 12:17 PM
|

Serious question, if we beat BC and do our typical one and done in the ACC tournament, will we make the NIT?
Or is it another year of Brownell turning down the CBI?

But lose to BC and then 1 and done in the ACC Tourney could be another story all together.

Yep, nothing screams "building a program" like a NIT birth after year 6.

If we lose to BC which is very possible they don't deserve to be in the NIT.
You know for about sure they won't win a game in the ACCT.

Beat BC then lose first game of the ACCT, that would put us at 17-14.
I believe with the top 20 wins that will be enough.

Yes. Unless we become the only team in the league to lose to BC!
We will probably get GT or FSU in the tourney so no gimme there.
I hope Roper can get his act together by Saturday. He has disappeared
Extra games in the NIT would truly benefit this team.

So much for improvement.

This team was playing well, even overachieving. They've come back to earth recently, but aren't a bubble NIT team. We're firmly in unless we drop all our remaining games. CBB has had his recruiting difficulties, but he's a great developer of talent.

If we were firmly in, there'd be no "unless"....

How is that not improvement?!?

We didn't make the NIT last season, so making it this year would clearly be improvement.
Now I don't think we should be satisfied with NITs, but you can't deny that this season has been an improvement over last.

Good ol Judge Keller, quite possibly the biggest Brownell apologist. Always coming to poor Brads rescue and then ignoring responses that prove your logic wrong.
You might want to reread my post....
I was obviously referring to that spurt in January where we looked like the most improved team in the nation. After looking like one of the worst teams in the nation in OOC play. January is long gone and we're back to a below average team....HTH
Also, if we lose the next 2 I highly doubt we get an NIT invite(hence NIT bubble) so where's the improvement then? Can't wait to see what your post supporting Brownell will be if that should happen.

If we lose to BC and the first game of the tournament we don't deserve the NIT. Brownell has taken us backwards from Purnell.

Clemson no longer gets blown out by ANYONE. Every team we play knows that they have to bring their A game and play their front line players for two halves. That's improvement and if you don't see it ........ .?
