NIT , CBI ....... what next ???

[The Nation of UCF]

.....,,, not looking good for NIT ,,,, CBI is a buy-in tourney which is ridiculous .....

 

[G-Knight]

Season over.

 

[Happy Hands]

Football season is next. But it's always either football season or waiting for football season with me.

 

[BlakNGoldAllDay]

I saw a tourney starts tomorrow. Collegeinsider.com. I’m assuming it’s similar to CBI.

 

[UCF0509]

We will be in the NIT. Talked to ole Fran at the B12 tourney and he commented on the import of the Bama W. Now will we host or go to FGCU and get blown out is a different story.

I'd love to see us in the NIT but it isnt going to happen. Will happily eat crow though if I am wrong.

I’d put it at 50/50 for the NIT. We are about 6 spots lower than last year in RPI and 2 less wins, but conference is tougher with Wichita State as well. Last year were a 4 seed. This year might slip in at 6. AAC just got #2 and #4 seeds in the NCAA so they are getting some respect. UCF finished .500 in a good conference. Houston got a 6 seed too.

The bid stealers from the single bid conferences are what may end up keeping us out....

There are 9 auto bids this year. There were 10 last year.

 

[ucfversusbcs]

and now there's St Mary's.

[ATL97]

Georgia just voted to not participate in NIT, so that opens a spot.

 

[Mikesi]

Why would a team do that?

Matters not as UCF isn’t fighting for NIT slot with NCAA bubble teams. Syracuse got in the ncaas instead of st Mary’s. St Mary’s got their slot in nit.

 

[DrPhillipsKnight]

Why would a team do that?

Their coach was fired and the players voted not to participate because of it.

Oh. Ok. Makes sense now. Thanks

 

[Knight_of_Parrish]

looks like no NIT

 

[JAFFX2]

Wow that really sucks........

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Ha they put Boston college in over UCF. 7-11 in the ACC with 95 RPI is apparently better than 9-9 in the American with 84 RPI.

 

[hemightbejeremy]

Boston college won 2 road games all year. A joke they got an NIT at large.

.....,,, not looking good for NIT ,,,, CBI is a buy-in tourney which is ridiculous .....

...... NCAA , NIT , CBI & CIT fields are all announced ..... Knights are OUT !!!

 

[thespiritof1976]

After seeing how many teams the committee screwed over, I am even more adament at how much the NCAA-big media complex is corrupt and how they need to be brought up on RICO charges for operating an unlawful monopoly.

 

[thespiritof1976]

Regardless, the team played with heart and should be proud of themselves.

 

[ATL97]

After the NIT, we passed on all of the other tournaments.

 

[goodknightfl]

Welp hope the players make the most of the off season..

 

[thespiritof1976]

Its alright folks. We'll come back in the fall and kick ass. In the meantime, we got a damn good ballclub as well as this:

I wonder why we got SO dissed this year by everyone?? Wow, those win loss records in the NIT are about like ours.

We are talking about basketball aren't we?

 

[ucfversusbcs]

Record versus quadrant level teams
Something to reference next year now that the year is over, but for this year refer to UCF at 84 and their quadrant record. Compare it to say Boston College at 95 and St Mary's at 40.
Wow! it had to be real close between us and BC based on this chart.

Boston College beat 5 tourney teams, UCF beat 1 and that was in December. Boston College beat NC state in ACC tournament, UCF gets blown out by nearly 30. Maybe if it was respectable game they are in the NIT.

Then again we are talking about the NIT, who really cares. They absolutely should reward teams from lesser conferences, it's a consolation tournament. The major conferences teams mostly have no serious interest in NIT.

Perhaps but we havent been a powerhouse since joining Division 1. IMO any free appearance tournament is fine with me if it has any value. Apparently the only outside of the dance is the NIT.

Boy, aren't you a peach ?

Just honesty, everyone complains that the P5 keeps the G5 out of the playoffs. Here the NIT (not even a major tournament) makes a rule to reward lesser conferences who has good teams and should compete.

But in all seriousness, they were not going to make a run in the NIT. The team has major injuries, and those that do play can't shoot FTs. They definitely do not pass any eye test that is not wearing black and gold goggles.

Ok. Fair enough. I appreciate your objectivity.

CIT used to be online only. It’s on CBS Sports right now. Would have been worth the money for exposure and practice time.
