Don’t shame on the NIT. It is a VERY GOOD TOURNAMENT. Unless you are one of the top programs in the country, you aren’t going to make the NCAA Tournament every year (the Kansas’s, North Carolina’s, and Duke’s of the world). Hell, freaking Syracuse, who made it to the Final Four last year, is in the NIT this year. The NCAA runs the NIT. It’s not like it was in the past. The NIT now is essentially made up of teams who ended up on the wrong side of the “bubble” or teams who won their regular season conference championship but lost in their conference tournament and also didn’t have a good enough resume to make the NCAA Tournament. It is also seeded by the NCAA, which is why we aren’t playing BYU (unlike in College Football). Utah has a chance to make a very good run. In fact, if they were to somehow win the NIT, they’d be set up for a fantastic season next year with everybody they are returning coupled with the high-level recruits we are bringing in.
