One less NIT bid for at large pool...

Longwood upset top seeded Charleston Southern in Big South Tourney just now. CS gets automatic bid to NIT by winning regular season. Probably wouldn't have made it. Hope there aren't too many more of these...

On average there are 12.33 per year
High of 15
Low of 10.
I just hope Wofford is not one of these.

This thread shows what horribly poor expectations there are for Clemson Basketball....we are actually worried if Longwood beats Charleaton Southern, if Wofford beats Furman..Blah, Blah Blah maybe, just maybe they will let us in the NIT. When you almost have to stumble into the NIT maybe it's time to accept that this team sucks and just go home and practice for next year.

I have to agree with you. Someone already acted like I was a coot for saying what you said. I guess i am getting old, 45, but when I was younger nobody even thought about the NIT. My first year at Clemson we went to the Sweet 16 with Dale Davis and Elden Campbell. Then we had a few down years until Rick Barnes. I really never thought we would ever get to the stage where our fans were worried about getting into the NIT. I was raised thinking there was only one tournament. The NIT is good practice for our younger players like Grantham, but from the fan perspective it's not that big of a deal. I will watch every game if we go, but I am not on pins and needles waiting for an invite. I think we will be in the big dance the year after next as long as nothing unforeseen happens. I watched Hudson our future PG play the other night. He will be really solid by his sophomore year. Holmes should give us a 3pt threat. I'll be excited when we go to the real tournament. The first season at the renovated LJ should be a memorable one. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Nationally the NIT is no big deal. Winning it means little. If it is a big deal to a portion of our fans or students then I respect that. I do. To me it is meaningless other than experience for the next season. If we were in the real tournament it would be intense though. I love March Madness. i hope we can be part of it within 2 years max. I think we will the year after next. Possibly even next season.
