The NIT is a disappointment for most power conference schools. The organizers know that which is why they gave “auto bids” this year…many being declined.
LSU this year is in that rare sweet spot where they were so bad last season that the NIT represents an “accomplishment” rather than a slight/dissapointment.
LSU had no chance of getting into the NCAAT. So this is something to look forward to. OU, St. John’s and others are upset they didn’t get in the NCAAT. So their players/coaches don’t feel like practicing and traveling anymore to play in a tournament they don’t want to be in

The reasons vary. I know with Memphis, it isn’t just about recruiting. That was a team of hired guns and as soon as Mills went down for the season, defense went out the window and that’s the one thing Penny has been good at coaching. When this team gave a shite they could beat anyone, but that was maybe 30% of the time. 5-2 vs tourney teams and 4-1 vs the SEC and weren’t even on the bubble at the end because the players didn’t care.
The strange thing is, while Penny isn’t a great coach by any stretch, his strengths have been getting teams to buy into playing great team defense and to play with a high level of effort. They didn’t always play smart, but effort was never a problem before this season.
NIL changes everything.
