On the surface that seems like a weird decision. Did they say why?

Players dealing with some personal off court issues

Never understood teams not taking the opportunity to get extra experience, especially some type of tournament experience.
And with a new Coach too. Lame.

Lol so soft. Can bet there wouldn’t be any off course issues to deal with if they were in the ncaa tournament.

“Timing is everything, and the timing is not right for our team to continue the season in any of these tournaments. We have some guys dealing with some personal things off the court... Jamarion Sharp's mother is in critical care. He did an amazing job the last couple weeks of the season with the pressure and everything he had going on with his family off the court. I wanted to personally thank Sharp for his commitment to the team. We have some guys academically that are working toward graduation. Timing right now just doesn't put us in a situation where we think it's the best thing to try and play in one of those tournaments. Nothing but respect for all the tournaments, including the NIT... We're proud to be playing in the Preseason NIT next year at Ole Miss."

As Cam Newton said “it’s an ongoing investigation” as to whether or not LSU preemptively opted out to save face of not even making the NIT with Ben Simmons on the roster. Plus he left the team about 5 minutes after the SEC tournament loss which played into LSU’s “decision”.

Why should LSU pass on the opportunity to play in a nationally televised tournament, give their seniors an opportunity to go out on a high note, and give young players tournament playing experience?

Not to compare the two programs in any way, but UNC did the same thing last year. They considered the NIT to be beneath them. Of course, UNC is in a much better position to say that than the Black Bears.

Why didn't Wade pass on it in 2018?

One of the guys has a mom in serious condition and there’s another who has a family issue that caused him to miss the SECT.

Let's celebrate the MM success. Other teams had to quit so LSU could make the NIT. Way to go MM!

I kinda like you, but I don't want to go to dinner and a movie, but if you still want to take me to the Bahamas in 8 months, I would be available for that.
