Blindcheck Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 I don't think I would ever turn down the CBI or CIT. More Basketball is always better than less basketball. Silverbacked1 and Bugeaters1 2 Quote
hhcmatt Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 With everyone but Webby coming back it makes sense to get some tourney experience though playing at home isn't nearly the same as playing at a neutral location. Quote

Sure, but anytime you get in a situation where a loss means the end of your season is good experience. I'd like to see them do it if they can't get in the NIT (or better...).

cipsucks Posted February 19, 2017 Report Posted February 19, 2017 Talking about the CBI at this stage is like wondering which ugly girl is gonna dance with you before you even asked the prettiest one to go out to your car on a subzero night and check out the sights at a Lincoln city park.... colhusker, Silverbacked1, ladyhusker and 1 other 4 Quote

Bugeaters1 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Posted February 21, 2017 With the huskers rpi being 75, the huskers remain in pool of schools that could make the ncaa play in game. According the OWH.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote

49r Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 So I got my email from the ticket office today stating I could reserve tickets for the NIT or CBI "pending selection"...which tells me that they believe we would accept a CBI invitation were we invited since the NIT is clearly out of the question now. Agree or not, it looks like CBI might possibly be a thing for this team this year... Quote
Bugeaters1 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Report Posted February 27, 2017 In my book, that's better than nothing. It is playing time that the team needs.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote

nustudent Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 Wonder how much perception plays into that. 3rd straight losing season. Potential for a likely 3rd straight nose dive to end the season. After year 5, that's not good vibes. Wonder if they are trying to get a couple of wins to close the season out to make everyone feel just a little bit better. Quote

49r Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CollegeInsider.com_Postseason_Tournament The CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT) is an American men's college basketball tournament created in 2009 by CollegeInsider.com. In 2012 it expanded to its current 32 participating teams. The Tournament is oriented toward mid-major schools who did not get selected to go the NCAA or NIT tournaments. (i.e. No Big Ten teams allowed) Quote

Or it could be that we have one of the youngest rosters in the NCAA this year and more games, practice, and experience would actually benefit this team. BjoeHusker 1 Quote
huskerbaseball13 Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 CBI ended on 4/1 last year so IF Miles is let go it will need to be before the CBI tournament starts. The CBI lineup was pretty terrible last year...not so bad in some previous years. Hopefully if we go that route, there is some other power 5 teams that will be joining. Quote

We were relatively young last year too and we passed. And our guys hadn't played with each other nearly as much. Hard for me to buy that explanation when we opted out of it last year. Quote
uneblinstu Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 We're quite a bit younger this year. Last year they also had the Spain trip on the front end. Last year's decision was Shavon and Benny's. This year, it's likely Tai's, unless Miles values the experience for the seven returning freshmen and sophomores. Quote

Top 8 last year were 2 Srs, 2 Jrs, 4 Frosh. Top 8 this year is 1 Sr, 1 Jr, 4 Soph, 2 Frosh. Lose a bit at the top but not nearly as many true freshmen having to step in and player major minutes right away. Quote
49r Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 okay...now it's picking nits just to further an agenda. @nustudent has made it abundantly clear he's ready for a coaching change come hell or high water and is deathly afraid accepting any kind of postseason bid would stop that process in its tracks. He will FIGHT anybody here that challenges him on this. So maybe we let it go for now? Peace?? I'm sorry I brought it up, and I forgot there was a similar email sent out last year. Let's just agree that the likelihood is slim of even a CBI bid at this point and let it go, okay? Quote

nustudent Posted February 27, 2017 Report Posted February 27, 2017 FTR....I haven't. I've never said he should be fired. I said several weeks ago in the Fire Miles thread that it was fair to have the conversation and fair for people to feel that way. I have never said he should be fired. My preference all along has been and is to keep Miles. We simply can't afford to screw up this next hire, which is why I would generally wait. That doesn't mean I feel good about him or totally buy into the youth excuse though, or think people are completely off base for wanting the change. This is far different than Sadler, where I wanted him gone regardless. If you tell me we have Sampson or Hoiberg lined up, I'd be for it. But I don't buy that we do, so I'd just assume he come back for one final chance. Quote

After the adrenaline of the Maryland game wore off a good number of the team wasn't in to playing in the CBI. I'd put more stock into how this season goes in terms of whether we might play in the CBI than what happened last year. Quote

That's a pretty significant jump from last year. Edited February 28, 2017 by uneblinstu Bugeaters1 1 Quote
