Subject: NIT?
In reply to: RayS 's message, "Re: Record by Month..." on 13:13:58 01/31/03 Fri

Looking at all of the conferences at this point, there are an awful lot of teams that are in the same situation as the Stags. Those that finish very strong will get NIT bids. Those that don't won't. If FU ends up with 19 wins after the MAAC tourney, I think they'll be right on that bubble with a bunch of other teams. The win over UNCW is nice, but it would have been nicer to have hung close against the big boys. That would show some potential for an upset and might make for a more marketable game (which is what the NIT is looking for. Marketable = $$$).

Let's hope that we are in a position to discuss this possibility a month from now.

NIT like the NCAA is going more and more towards rewarding good RPI's , If FF only loses two more times before the MAAC tournament your final RPI will surely be in the top 100. A top 100 RPI would almost assure FF at least a spot in the NIT going into MAAC tournament. Not a bad spot to be in. I’m hoping Siena can sneak into the top 100 before the tournament also. Right now it looks very promising for Siena in that we have only 3 road games left at bottom feeders Loyola, Rider and Iona ;-) and the rest are home, A good chance we can go into the MAAC tournament with only 4 maybe 5 league losses tops

Are you taking your defeatist NIT talk over here now, since you face certain ridicule on the Siena board, should you start talking NIT over there?

Eh, monsieur?

Hopefully we won't have to discuss an NIT bid, but if we do the fact that UNCW has dropped out of some of the top 10 mid-major polls isn't going to help our "quality wins" situation. If we don't win the conf. tour. a post season bid may be problamatic.
