My favorite is the "NIT Here we come" thread...with these post
I see us losing to Long Beach, @SIU, and a friday or saturday loss in Arch Madness and getting a 1 seed in the NIT.
So disappointing.
We're really lucky that we won some of those close games earlier in the season or we would be on the bubble for the NIT, meaning a possible CBI berth. There was like 10 games that could have gone either way with a couple minutes left this season and we won all but about 2 of them.
Yeah and I saw a team with below average guard play whose guards are strictly spot up shooters. I saw a team that plays terrible defense. I saw a team that was shooting the lights out of it every single game. Its pretty obvious that a team can't sustain that level of shooting the entire season, especially when guys are low on confidence and revert to standing around. Lots of games left? I count 4 in the regular season. We are on the home stretch and are seriously limping to the finish line.
WSU might be better than we are but they shouldn't beat us by 20. Getting beat like that, at home, is evidence of giving up, playing soft and not fighting.
