I guess I mentioned the crack pipe to the wrong person...Was this really a discussion????I'll attempt to make it easy for you NIMRODS to understand. What is better??? To lose in round 1 of the NIT or round 1 of the NCAA ???????

Anyone who actually asks that question with a straight face needs to have his head examined.

There's an argument that winning the NIT is better than going to the NCAA and losing in the first round.

But going to the NCAA and winning two or three games there, or winning the NIT? Are you nuts?

Yes, a bad one.

If I were a coach I'd be telling a prized MikeyD recruit "if you come play for us we'll go to the NCAA tournament every year" rather than "if you come play for us we'll win the NIT". That's just me, though.

As noted by others, the question is loaded with false assumptions regarding UT's likely progression in the NCAAs.

Having said that, I think that for just about any team, save perhaps for one literally comprised only of freshmen, 'tis better to make it into the NCAA tourney and get blown out the first day than make it to the NIT Final Four.

There is no situation where playing in the NIT is superior to a berth in the NCAA Tournament, regardless of outcome.

Would you rather have our beloved Vols win 2-3 games in the NCAA Tournament and then lose,or would you rather see them win the NIT?

There is no way in hell your serious dude. 2 wins and were in the Sweet 16...3 wins and were 1 of 8 teams in the nation still standing.

I think if you had a roster of 9 true freshmen then getting into the NIT and advancing to the Final Four might pay off in succeeding seasons more than getting in and getting absolutely thrashed by some high seed out of the Big East. Not so much because of their fragile youth, but just to play more games with one-and-done pressure on them so as to know what that's like.

I would note that if Florida ends up in the NIT this year (and should they lose to Kentucky I'd say that is a given), I wish Donovan would have the gumption to turn it down and put these guys in the wieght room for the week they would otherwise spend in the NIT. I know he won't do it for political reasons, but the NIT won't do this Gator team any good.

How much did the one and done pressure of the NIT help prepare Florida for this season?

Would you rather get some from the hot chick but it lasts for 2 minutes

or

Would you rather get some from a blowup doll and it lasts all night?

For this debate, we will have TennesseeFan07 argue for the latter point.

ziiiiingzabang!

NIT, you have got to be kidding! That is the most listless, meaningless, boring, kissing-your-sister tournament imaginable. Has the creator of this thread ever been to an NIT game? It's a mix between a funeral and a basketball game, half the crowd in mourning for not making the NCAA Tournament and the other half wishing they were somewhere else.

Haha you guys are so mean. However, to answer the thread's question, you've gotta go with the NCAA tourney all the way. The NIT= Non Important Tournament :)
