should or shouldn't, UK will accept a NIT invite and will likely have at least one additional home game

I vote yea bc I care about all time wins and letting Kansas get 2-6 more while we aren’t even playing is a no for me.

We may get beat the first round and it not matter…but if we can get a couple wins playing the other season losers then I’ll take them

Remember after the '09 season Barnfart said they'll accept an NIT bid, "We certainly don't want to be perceived as arrogant," Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart said, "but we also don't want to lower the standards of what is expected at Kentucky." https://archive.triblive.com/news/hoops-insider-do-a-little-dance/

I think this is already out the window.

'...but we also don't want to lower the standards of what is expected at Kentucky.'

There is a very real possibility we could be in the NIT with UNC and Duke. Be the most watched NIT of all time.

Yes you play the tournament. Maybe Kansas loses first round and we go on a run. The other reason is you make cal play the game. The only person who benefits by turning a bid down is Cal. Seeing him in the nit will help give leverage to those who want him out. You don’t let that dude off the hook. It will mean more interviews and exposure for Cals failures. He ll have to do with interviews where as when the season ends he’s out to some place warm. No you make him coach this season as long as possible. Another robert Morris would be more fuel to rid this program of him


“How you feel cal about your second nit in 10 years?”

Little late Mitch, UK Standards are in the toilet, been there for 3 years now. 2 for sure, last years team just choked on a fat one with the coach.

We might have to win a game or two to get in the NIT. I can’t wait for the NIT chants from the other teams fans, our emotional players might break down.

No, Cal will lose in it to someone he shouldn’t because they have a coach that can run basic offense and defense, and winning schools will use it as leverage in recruiting. It’s better to hang it up.

UK probably already accepted an NIT bid before the season started.I think all schools get an invite to be registered if they don't make the dance.UK has to accept or decline at that time

Yes, **** all of those who say the all-time wins don't matter. It does. Like sitting at home doing nothing letting KU run it up more supposed to make it better? The same fools would have told you the NCAA was going to vacate KU's wins and we all saw how that worked out. If you're not interested in watching UK in the NIT, quite simple. DON'T WATCH!!!!! No one gives a damn either way what they do.

You have no choice but to accept a bid.
So, yes is the answer
Turning a bid down looks as if you think you are better than everyone else.
You suck it up, swallow your pride and show some class.
It sucks, but the right thing to do

I can remember when the NIT was just a notch below the NCAA. Before I can remember the NIT and NCAA were equals or it was argued that the NIT was #1
