I wouldn’t be surprised if they could beat lots of teams in
the NCAA tournament. What could be a fun thing and an inspiration
to the NIT folks is to invite the NIT champion to play the
NCAA tournament champion either as an extra game at the
end of the tournament season or as the first game of the
next season—the teams might be different, but it would
be probably a fun kind of matchup....and generate enought
“face” time on the networks that it would help both schools.
