Who knows what will happen? Lots of teams that are bummed out by being relegated to the NIT don’t even hardly show up and get whacked in the first game. Others buckle up and try to extend the season as long as they can.
I think we have the type of team capable of making a run in the NIT. Utah is a young and talented team that wasn’t expected to do much this year, and yet they were able to win 20 games and finish 4th in the Pac-12.
Only because the Hunty was being renovated at that time. Had they waited to start the renovation, Utah would have been the home team because they were the higher seed. I forsee a different result this time around.
