It’s so easy being “that guy” you leave open an opportunity to join the parade in the sun but if it does rain your the first to put on your raincoat and piss on everyone else. They win either way - so let’s just acknowledge their greatness and we can get back to enjoying the season.

The reason why it has been quite is people get attacked for differing points of view when facts prove their point. While the # of wins in a row and road wins are always good and deserve mentioning, currently we have not demonstrated we are a Top level team yet. Losses to W&M, FECESU, and WKU suggest we should be careful about beating our chest like we are some top level team. Beating MTSU at home would be a great start in suggesting this team has improved and is improving. My expectation is we will finish conference play at 14-4 and with top 4 finish which gets us a bye in the first round. Other than that...right now our resume is NOT impressive and does not warrant NCAA at large or NIT consideration.

This isn't true. Right now we are are in clear NIT range.

No we are not ! Not with a SOS of 247 and you have to finish in the top 2 of conference play and or win conference but lose in the tournament. Should I point out who was right last year ???

Right about what?

The NIT criteria is first 4 out plus any regular season teams that do not win the tournament. Unless, there are a ton of regular season winners that fail to win the conference tournament, we are solidly in the NIT. Is there a new rule that you have to finish top 2?

As of right now, we are about a 6 seed. http://www.nycbuckets.com/current-nit-bracketology/
