Nope. We will get an invitation by default since 14 teams made the real tournament. I'd imagine they will decline

Yep, this is literally the definition of a participation trophy. We get an invite solely because we are a member of the SEC.

Hang the banner! This is up there with Ole Miss claiming the 2003 SEC West championship.

Please decline, another loss by 30 to North Texas would be horrible

Compete is that what we were doing, and don’t forget playing gritty, that inbounds play(2yrs ago), and his Nice family.

Changed last year.

https://www.ncaa.org/news/2023/10/27/media-center-nit-announces-changes-to-tournament-selection-format.aspx

quote:

The NIT Board of Managers has announced changes for the 2024 National Invitation Tournament that impact how teams qualify.

For the 2024 NIT, conference regular-season champions that do not win their conference tournament or are not otherwise selected to the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship will not receive an automatic bid to the NIT.

Instead, the NIT will guarantee two teams (based on the NET rankings) from each of six conferences (Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and Southeastern). The top two teams in the NET rankings not qualifying for the NCAA men's basketball tournament from each conference, regardless of win-loss record, will be selected. Additionally, the 12 teams automatically selected will be guaranteed the opportunity to host a game in the first round of the NIT.

Once the 12 automatic qualifying schools have been selected, the NIT Committee will select the 20 best teams available to complete the tournament's 32-team field. Based on the NIT Committee's evaluation, the best four teams of the 20 at-large teams selected will complete the 16 first-round hosts, with deference given to the "first four teams out" of the Division I Men's Basketball Championship, as determined by the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee. Additional teams from the six conferences with automatic qualifications are eligible to be selected as at-large teams and can be selected as hosts.

I’m not upset but I really don’t want anymore embarrassment. If you think this team can even 1 game you are on something.
