No way we get invited to the NIT

[East Coast Miner Fan]

LA Tech just lost. They get an auto-invite to the NIT as the regular season champion. ODU will be picked over UTEP. There's absolutely no chance we get picked over ODU with their high RPI. CBI (Coach Barbee/Floyd Invitational) it is! I never thought I would say I miss CTB or even Sadler. At least they got us to the dance.

Maybe Floyd could hire Billy Gillespie as an assistant?

If they don't get NIT Bid, pretty sure they don't take CBI bid. Last year Floyd only took it, because what team had been through as a reward, not the case this year. So it's NIT or nothing I feel

I agree, especially since UTEP wouldn't be able to host the first 2 games.

La Tech lost? Never has a path to the big dance been layed out for us any better. Damn.

I could see UTEP accepting a CBI invite just to allow the three seniors to play at least one more game for UTEP

I agree. This should solely be left up to Julian, C.J, and Cedric.

The Don isn't available for the first 2 rounds. Tim will just make an excuse because of that.

That's Coach Tim Floyd to you.

That's a nice thought. After all, it's just a game. Let's enjoy the competition while it lasts..
