I get that. Iā€™m just trying to describe how it feels to win the NIT. You donā€™t feel nothing when you win it. Not as good as making the NCAAs but there is a bit of pride and momentum you can take into the offseason. But anything less than that makes me feel meh.

Actually it sort of feels like winning one of those preseason tournaments. You celebrate and hold up a trophy and feel decent about it but you move on. If you donā€™t win it you just move on

I think thatā€™s highly dependent on the context of your program. Beating Wisconsin in an empty Vegas gym after snapping a long NCAAT/S16 streak doesnā€™t sound super validating

So first 2 games are at home? And third one would be at home if itā€™s not clemson?

That is my understanding.

Iā€™ll take the over as long as they do what they used to do and open the lower bowl up for non-season ticket holders.

Itā€™s too bad Nebraska didnā€™t crack the field. Would have been fun to watch them.

Probably like winning a play in game for the ncaa tournament. Kinda like 2016 where they showed some potential but never put it together consistently.

Do we think this was some sort of scheduling decision where Crisler is busy on Saturday or something?
