Re: Un-official Missouri Valley Competition thread

As long as we have a winning record, the CIT is a lock.

You think we take it? 13-14 we turned it down at 16-15.

NCAA or NIT for me. I'm done with the other tourneys.

I don't disagree, but I know with a young team Jake is going to want to play as long as he can, plus allows JMo to pad some stats.

That was a veteran team that needed a kick in the pants. This is a young team that Jake is going to want to let play.

Honestly I don't know if I want to see us go to anything less than the NIT. On one hand, if we do take a CIT bid, that would more exposure for Jeremy (although at that point, how much exposure is that really?), and it would be nice practice for the returners, and we'd probably have a decent shot of winning the CIT. But at this point... I almost feel like we're above it as a school at this point.

I'm with BC this year's team is relatively young that has just figured out how to play UNI basketball, Jake is going to want to keep them together as long as he can. In 2014 that team while returning everyone except Chip was experienced but never played UNI basketball all year long, as that was the year that Jake forgot who he was, and wanted to play fast.

I would love to see this team make a good run in the NIT or CIT. However, I'm not sure our 55 point games are going to be attractive to the tournament planners and sponsors.

Northern Iowa is a name brand at this point... At least at the level of the CIT. As long as we're over .500, they'll invite us.

WSU and ISUr stay tied at the top, all though Illinois State played Missourah State and only won 67-66. And for those of you wondering, McIntosh came in off the bench and played for 22 minutes, so it's not like him being injured was a reason. That game on the 25th just became a whole lot more interesting.

The NIT is completely out of the question and there's absolutely no way that we're playing in it.

Agreed, so I guess there's only one thing left to do once Arch Madness rolls around...

I understand this sentiment, but I love Panther basketball and I'm all for more of it.

We should do whatever is break-even or close to break-even. Still a lot of young players who are learning. Overseas trip, too, if possible.

Plus, any more games will give us the opportunity to seize on the brand awareness for UNI that is being increased by David Johnson and Kurt Warner right now.
