No CBI Tourney this year

probably a lack of funds of pay the teams in terms of NIL

what's left?

First the cbi is cancelled then Mason loses.

My day is ruined.

That was the list prior to today's game. Not inconceivable that we could drop out entirely.

 

[Portlandian]

I won't say no to another NIT banner, even if it leads to another one and done road game. I am always happy for more Mason basketball.

After St. Bonny, don't count on it.

I would be very happy with an NIT bid, but not expecting it after SBU loss

 

[mkaufman1]

I might be in the minority but I think this group is done. I don't think playing in the NIT would benefit them and it could lead to a blowout like the 2017 CBI game.

If they get an invite, okay. But I agree, they're done. Move on.

Me too.

Not many seeded teams geographically near us--Liberty, UNCW, Kent? If we do get a bid, we might be sent a couple of time zones away.

I wouldn’t accept the invite to the NIT with this team. I just don’t think they care enough to compete anymore and I’m sure half the team has already established they are going in the portal. Might be a controversial take.

Last year they had and believed in unfinished business. Different story.

I don’t think a good portion of this team has cared since late January. I’m personally rooting for us to go ahead and start the offseason and building a championship level team for next season.

Is Belmont on the ncaa bubble now? If not, I would think they would have hosted an NIT game.

They are not near the bubble.

Belmont NET 63; Miami (OH) 64. Although Miami is getting in based on their w-l record and finishing the regular season undefeated.
