BAMA and fans , not really embracing the NIT

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Small crowd, close game, but the Tide is not surging.

BAMA Gone! as a 1 seed.

BAMA Gone! as a 1 seed.

Didn't we do that as a 1-seed one time? Didn't seem to really want to be there, having been spurned by the NCAA. Had to go to Salt Lake City or some other high altitude place.

So does the shoe drop on Avery? I just don’t think he’s a good coach and they’ve digressed. He has to be on the hot seat for next year.
Speaking of, I can’t believe Mike Anderson hasn’t been fired. I know they are in NIT and unless they make it to NYC I have to believe it’s time for a change.

And this is one reason the NIT should be abolished. I know it's a historic tournament, but it's usefulness passed a long time ago. Half the best teams in it don't even want to be there and it shows. Get rid of it, expand the NCAAT to 96 teams and be done with it. Every conference gets 2 automatic bids, their regular season champion and their tournament champion, if 1 team wins both, then the 2nd bid goes to the 2nd best overall conference record. This would give the champions of lower tier conferences a legitimate chance to win against a #9 seed, and expand the opening weekend from Thur-Sun to Wed-Mon and eliminate the ridiculous play-in round.

Not sure what seed we were but I remember losing a shootout where we gave up 100+ to the UMASS Minutemen in the hump at some point in the late aughts or early teens.

Avery's buyout is $8 million if he’s released between April 16, 2018 and April 15, 2019 and $6 million between April 16, 2019 and April 15, 2020.

Pocket change to Bama and anyone named Walton from NW Arkansas.***

Of course I don’t know what Andesron’s buyout is at Upig.

Does anybody really ever embrace the NIT?

Even if they have digressed, it is only temporary.

So it will be a couple of weeks

If the target is Prohm as suspected, they don’t have a choice but to wait.

dafuq? Why would he go there?...because he was a student manager over 2 decades ago? I guess so, but it just seems odd, given what he has at ISU. He has an esablished family where ISU is basically all his oldest has ever known, He has won 2 B12 conference tournaments in 4 years, made it to the Sweet16 already, has gotten 3 bids in 4 years, recruits well, and has had ISU ranked multiple times for weeks at a time thru the seasons.
Just seems like an odd thing to leave for Bama due to being a student manager a quarter century ago.
