Will we accept NIT?

[Pappy]

As a fan I really hope we don't get the invite, I'm really tired of seeing us getting beat.

how are you going to see them win if they don't play?

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

Yeah and if you win you put a 2020 NIT Champions banner above Thompson-Boling Arena.

go out in 2nd round and hang a sweet 16 banner

The issue I have with Martin isn’t that he went to NIT and lost. He took a team with 3 NBA players and went to NIT and lost

And, Martin only had decent success his last year. With what he inherited, he should have been set from the beginning of his tenure.

It gives UT a chance to go to Madison Square Garden.

If that Bracketology is correct I could see Tennessee opening the NIT Tournament in Thompson Boling Arena against Furman.

Vescovi is also the only person we got that can take a dribble at the top of the key and get to the rim...not James, Pons or Bowden because their dribble isn't strong enough which is surprising. Before Turner left, he was the only one that could do it.

We have only had one consistently good ball handler on the team all season. I'll give you a hint. He aint playing this weekend.

If our team tries. Often you see power conference teams make the NIT and just throw in the towel. Kind of pathetic IMO.

I think a lot of times teams are accused of throwing in the towel when in truth they are just not very good. Low major teams that win 23+ games are not easy to beat. The talent gap is not what it used to be.
