We missed out in 1999/2000 & 2007? when playing for the Championship..so let's do this bad boy so we can equal the Coots in this arena of round ball (forget the smaller version of round ball since they've taken us for 3 this year).
GoTiGERS!

Is they peaked at that level with all seniors and we are trying to do it as springboard to get to a higher level with so many young guys...

haha i'd rather yall get one - then you can't say our Two NIT championships don't matter. Truth is NIT championships are worthless and I wish we didn't have a banner for them, esp. since they were back to back.
A win is a good sign for next years team, and that's it

NIT championships are not worthless. Some people want to say that it only means you are the 69th best team in the nation. Even when you coots won it, I said that was not true. Probably 50% of the teams in the NIT should have been in the NCAA. But, due to conference champs of the smaller schools and not so hot schedules of other teams, there are many teams in NCAA that should not be there. You, as a coot, should know that. The coots went undefeated in ACC play 1970 and were not invited to NCAA tourney because they did not win the ACC tourney. Only tourney champs were allowed to play, and only 1 team from each conference. The NCAA should be based on the top 68 teams and not confernce affiliation.
Your legend Frank McQuire did not win a NIT title.

it meant more back then... now it probably means you're one of the top 35/40 teams in the country.

In my view, an NIT trophy is like a Tangerine Bowl trophy...nice to have in the case, but not something you necessarily put in the front row of the display. And I sure as #### don't want one so we can "equal the Coots". #### with that. I'd be thrilled for the team to be recognized for their hard work but...let's just say I'm not gonna be running out and buying new car flags and "2014 NIT Champs" gear. And I sure as heck won't be going apes#!t over the championship like SCar did back when they got theirs.

it would make somewhat of a statement to the ACC and the rest of the nation about the focus and drive of this team. I'd love to have that trophy!

Thank you. It would be a great accomplishment. It's a good thing most of you people don't coach or play. You're pathetic. You think the players and coaches don't want to win this thing. You're all idiots!! What kind of fans are you? The kind I wish Clemson didn't have that's for sure.

Tigers win 3 more games. It also means that the team will have won 25 games. NOBODY would have bet $1 on that.

...It is a championship trophy and Clemson should be proud to have one. We had back to back...I guess that means we were only as good as we were going to get for those two years. I would rather have an NCAA bid than an NIT championship...but if the bid is not there then the NIT championship is the next best thing....
