Didn't even get to the NIT lol. Even if we did get a bid I would have been of the opinion of a hard pass with no chance of the Tourney and getting some late wins. Focus on next year and developing our roster, I am not into NIT consolation games.

The NIT talk was a stretch all along. 11 regular season conference champs did not win the auto bid to the dance, so they got auto bids to the NIT. Every at-large pick finished .500 or better. It didn't sound like OSU was going to accept one, anyway.

Had the Bucks been healthier I wouldn't have minded the NIT. More tournament experience for the freshman wouldn't have hurt. But they did make a nice little run in Chicago, so there's that. Just can't be the 13-seed going forward.

Anyway, back to the dance. At least TTUN didn't make it, either.

I kind of feel bad for Rutgers, but they are exactly the type of team that the NIT is for - pissed off they didn't make the dance, now they've got something to prove and it gives an immediate chance to do something to feel better about the end of their season.

We'll never know for certain, but my guess is if Holden misses at the buzzer versus RU and the ASU kid misses his half court heave at Arizona, Rutgers and the Sun Devils are probably in opposite tournaments. I guess the real lesson is win enough games to stay off the bubble.

It seems like the Big Ten tourney was the main event for OSU this postseason - they tried their best and left everything out there. I don't mind missing the NIT since they seemingly used the B1G tourney & last few games of the regular season as building blocks for next year anyway.

I always like to see who Dookie V is mad about being left out of the tournament (Rutgers was one of them) when I heard an amazing thing - he made a good point. NC State got in and Clemson was left out.

Clemson and NC State both went 23-10 while playing in the same conference. Clemson beat NC State by double-digits THREE times. NC State's NET rating is higher (45 vs 60), but they went 1-6 in Q1 games as opposed to 4-4 in Q1s by Clemson. If I was a Clemson fan I'd be pissed, but they also support Dabo so fuck those guys.

I'm pulling for Dook to make it to the Last 16 so they can end Purdue's run if the Boilerdudes make it that far. I don't care right now what cheating they allegedly got away with in the past or their relationship with Vitale, I just want to see Purdon't get clown stopped out of the tournament and Dook can potentially do that.

FWIW I don't think Dook gets past Tennecheat. And Tennecheat's guards will eat Purdue's alive...
