ESPN wanted LSU in the NIT under the condition that Ben Simmons would play. You can take it from there.


Bingo!

Invite was conditional upon Simmons playing. IMO.

Not true, we were not getting in with or without Benny, take it for what it's worth. Came from a reliable source. He said that's why we pulled out of consideration for any other postseason tourneys

NIT wanted Simmons. No Simmons. No NIT.

Not hard to figure out what happened.

We did not get an invite because there was a phone conversation before the invites were issued

No, he would not have. Hence no postseason.
