So we are currently projected as an NIT 4 seed in bracket with 1 seed Boise and 3 seed LSU.

Ole Miss is projected to finish below .500, not qualifying for post season.

How bad does that blown lead and loss to those guys look now?

I think hosting a couple of NIT games would be a good move up this year and prep the team for an NCAA tourney next year.

I’d take that right now, and call it an extremely successful season relative to expectations. Fire away.

Losing after having had a lead always sucks. Its frustrating.
But if you have a level head as a player or fan, you recognize there have also been games where your team was losing only to come back and win. Other teams 'steal' a game from you and you 'steal' a game from other teams.

It is unrealistic for any team except the most blessed(14/15 UK, 13/15 Shockers, 04/05 Illini...kinda) to think they wont lose a game they were at one point winning.


Stay the 17 in yo lane, bruiser. Emotionally posting about basketball isnt for you.

I agree and thus would fulfill the prophesy from a time when we scoffed at NIT bids that if we ever ran stans off we would one day be ecstatic over an NIT bid.

NIT would be a step in the right direction. I would come to every NIT game in Starkville if my schedule permits.

The OM loss sucks, but our team is getting better and is getting closer to getting some road wins. Peters has finally gotten out of his funk(knock on all the wood) and is helping the team win. They are still figuring everything out, but I think they will get it before the season is over. These players all have so much more to give offensively that I can’t see how the offense doesn’t improve more before the season ends.

Sunshine pumping session is now over.

Nope. 7-11 and 19-12 overall gets us a safe NIT spot. This year there are a lot of teams who will finish below .500 and be ineligible except for this that win their tourney and make the NCAA.

If we get to 7-11 SEC we are in the NIT.

They are certainly a NIT Team Today. If they finish down the stretch with a few road wins, they could be a bubble team

Still think it takes winning the SEC Tournament for State to get in.

Well, we are not winning the SEC tourney this year so best
hope for a NIT bid.
