I don’t understand turning down the NIT, especially a team like St John’s
The players have been constantly practicing since October. At this point in the season they are all dealing with some degree of injury/pain. They don’t feel like going through more work for a basically meaningless tournament. No different from football players opting out of a non-playoff bowl game.
Now there isn’t even the carrot of playing Madison Square Garden. The final four is in a relatively small gym in Indianapolis

if you opt out of the NIT, you should get opted out the next time you make the NCAA as well
I bet that would make them play
