If Tigers Win NIT are they a Top 30 Team?


Mar 26, 2014, 3:17 PM

What say you?

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgmilitary_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I say probably not. Top 50, sure.***

Definitely better than Scar whether 30 and 50

A team winning NIT proves they shouldn't have been in NIT***

That's painting with a broad brush, I think.***

Yes, it is.***

Yeah and Scar not even in the broad stroke

IMO, a team that wins the NIT has a shot to have gotten past


Mar 26, 2014, 3:33 PM

Rd1 in the NCAA tourney. It depends on matchups and seeding, sure, but the way the tough losses occurred doesn't match what they did to our body of work in terms of W-Ls

Clemson

If you're in the NIT you would have been a 16 seed in the tourney, so it's unlikely you would get past round 1.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

That's false


Mar 26, 2014, 6:00 PM

NCST was a 12 seed with a worse conference record than us and they essentially filled a slot that we could have filled.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

ACC teams have never been seeded #16 ... just doesn't happen


Mar 27, 2014, 7:40 AM [ in reply to Re: IMO, a team that wins the NIT has a shot to have gotten past ]

#16 is used for mid-major teams that win upsets in their conference tourney, etc.

The winner of the NIT would have been a #12 seed minimum.

Mar 27, 2014, 1:18 PM

That is correct.

It's also a problem that the NCAA should address ... stated otherwise, ACC/SEC/BIG12 etc lower rung teams should get a #16 seed in the NCAA tourney on occasion ... maybe even regularly.

Best way to settle that would be to match Clemson with the team that was the top 30 team in February. I say Clemson could beat them 3 out of 5. Goooo Tigerssss!!!

Not if ESPN has anything to do with it.

Yes

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Somewhere around #45


Mar 26, 2014, 6:31 PM

The RPI formula, update for all games played, has us in the mid-50's right now. If we win two more, we would probably be in the mid-40's. I would say that's about right.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It means they're definitely better than the 15/16 NCAA seeds


Mar 26, 2014, 7:22 PM

at the very least.

badge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No 69***

Mar 26, 2014, 10:34 PM

I agree with if you win the NIT you show that you should have been in the big dance.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No, but better than the 12-seeded teams that got in the NCAA


Mar 27, 2014, 8:28 AM

tournament. Probably in the 40 range overall I would guess.

2024 white level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Current BPI is 44


Mar 27, 2014, 9:07 AM

It's ESPN data it must be correct. :)
