“The selection of LSU to this year’s NIT says a lot about the progression of our program. It is a step in a direction that will only continue to move this program forward. It is exciting to be a part of post season play in our first season at LSU. We look forward to the challenges ahead as we face Louisiana-Lafayette in the opening round.”

"Very excited..." to play in a meaningless exhibition tournament to try to be a top 70 program is a bit strong. Hope we win but I won't be running to academy to buy my NIT participation tshirt

The NIT is huge for LSU. Did you watch a game last year? They worked hard and earned the post season
