Declining an NIT bid might be the most embarrassing part of a pathetic MBB season

Getting our arse kicked repeatedly sucked, but turning down the opportunity to compete? That’s just fricking sad. Most of these seniors will never play competitive basketball again and we’re turning down one last game for them because we’re scared of losing. Just let the walk-ons play if we truly have all these “injuries”.

We are limping in to the tournament after grinding it out against the best conference in the history of the sport. The guys have deserved some rest and gear up for another tournament run for next year.

Bruh it's the NIT they just gave it to the two worst teams in the SEC. It wasn't earned. They were just the last two left. No one wants to watch this team lose any more.

How many will be on this team next year? Also, for the seniors, they would have one last chance to win at home. Very sad.

So i guess you think the other 10 major programs turning down nit bids are also embarrassing, right?

I absolutely do. Programs more concerned with managing perception than doing things the right way.

What would have been embarrassing would have been if LSU ACCEPTED an NIT bid at 3-15 in the SEC.

If you only have 7 or 8 guys available, you really don't have enough to start a tournament. They only had 9 guys available in their last game, including Boyde.

No they didn't wanna see Fricking Mcloser get blown out again at home and have to throw more excuses out there how precious little Mcloser can't win because he doesn't have enough money,or talent,or everybody injured! Absolute joke!

What is Embarrassing is for someone who never played at an elite level to knock those who have
