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

Also, a developing team that should return several players is worth taking to the NIT. It can be a springboard to a bigger step next season. It’s good experience for a team like this one.

It’s like wanting Natalie Portman but settling for Rosanne Barr.
