Different Vibes from different players sorry to say. Everyone's agenda is not the same, which explains why sometimes we click and sometimes we don't. Maybe come game time everyone will have a winners attitude and want to go out and make a run towards the Garden.

I hate to hear that. A trip to San Francisco, then a possible trip to NYC would make me want to bust my arse and win some games.
If we were a team that was used to going to the NCAA's, that would be one thing, but quite frankly, this group hasn't accomplished dick when it comes to post-season play, so I would hope they would cherish this opportunity and take advantage of it. I think the seniors will...hopefully the others will follow.

Personally, I couldn't care less about the NIT. I wouldn't be estatic if LSU won. Likewise, I wouldn't be angry if they lost in the first round. It just kind of is what it is. Basically it's just a consolation tournament.
That said, I'm glad for the seniors that they get to play at least one (maybe more) extra game(s). You only get one chance to play college basketball and once it's over it's over.
As is to be expected for the NIT.
I suspect the same thing could be said for 90% of the teams playing in this tournament. The NIT is no player's or team's goal (at least it shouldn't be). While us fans can't "fathom" why the team wouldn't be fired up to play in the tournament, we aren't the ones who have been working, practicing, etc. daily for 5 months. I could certainly see more than a few players just saying "I'm exhausted. We didn't make the NCAAT, so I'd rather just call it a year and get ready for a new run next season." This isn't unlike a college football team making it to some lower-tier bowl game. It can become just as much of an obligation to play in the game as an opportunity. Again, this isn't specific just to LSU. Now if there is a lack of motivation during the regular season, that is a big time cause for concern.
The NIT could be a springboard to good things (see Whichita St. a few years back). However, it just as easily could not. See South Carolina's back to back titles and the success (or lack thereof) it led to.
Frankly, I don't see the team (as a whole) being very fired up to play in the game. If it's close in the first half, then I think the competitive nature of all involved will come through and LSU will play to win. If not, they'll just pack it in and call it a year.

i hear ya dude, i've thought all along all the guys on the team are good dudes, i just think the fact that most of them are kinda quiet passive guys has hurt us
this team needed a loud intense vocal leader, none of the personality types on this years squad really filled that role, so when things got bad at times nobody was really there to pull the huddle together and make the rest of the guys follow him
i really like all the guys on this team but bc of a lack of strong leadership type personalities i could see how
