CBI/CIT

1. Are we still in the mix pending more wins?

2. Do we accept a bid?

3. Do you want us to accept a bid?

Last 3 CBI winners: VCU, Oregon, Pitt

Just sayin

It would be a coup for the heads of these minor league tournaments to shake down the incoming chair of the NCAA Tournament committee for whatever it cost to host a few of these games. I think the CBI is around $60K and the CIT is around $30K.

If we get a bid we better freaking take it. It could only help out the players.

 

[Deacsfan27]

We should absolutely take it if we get invited.

3. Do you want us to accept a bid?

1. Are we still LOWF?

2. Are we going to be even more LOWF?

3. Do you want us to be even more LOWF?

The answer to all three, IMO, is yes.

1) Yes.

2) Oh Heaven's Yes!

3) Sure. So, CJ can play another game or three in OG&B.

We qualify, we accept, we win a game and Wellman blows a load.

Edited to add: We lose money but that doesn't matter.

 

[VaDeac]

We should absolutely take it if we get invited.

This.

For me, this is not a LOWF issue. It's not that I would be stoked at a CBI bid or satisfied with one or be ready to call the season a success because of it. It's about getting a young team more games in a tournament setting.

If we were talking about a team full of juniors and seniors a trip to the CBI, I'd say screw it, though I'm not sure why "no postseason" is any less LOWF than "crappy postseason."

 

[PhDeac]

LOWF is about expectations.

 

[VaDeac]

LOWF is about expectations.

Absolutely. So expectations in November of "I'd be happy with a CBI bid" is LOWF, whereas sitting in March saying "we should be beyond this by now, but if we get a CBI invite we should go ahead and take it" is something different.

 

[qwertybirdie]

Tournament experience includes pressure, no one gives a damn about the CBI/CIT so it doesn't really matter (especially since we won't be in a major tourney next year anyway).

 

[PhDeac]

Absolutely. So expectations in November of "I'd be happy with a CBI bid" is LOWF, whereas sitting in March saying "we should be beyond this by now, but if we get a CBI invite we should go ahead and take it" is something different.

Goin' Hoggin' would be proud of this logic.

It's 1:55 am in the basketball season...

Drinking $200 worth of booze and fucking a porker is much more enjoyable than watching Wake play in the CBI.

CIT is only for mid-majors. Take the CBI bid if one comes. VCU won the CBI in '10, and with all but one returning player, made the Final Four in '11. No direct correlation from one to the other but Shaka thought the experience helped his team.

 

[mothersodear]

Oh Heavens yes! This is what RW was striving for: post-season tournament action! This would be PROOF of our improvement!

 

[WFUWaldo]

Gotta take it for the experience.

CBI is to Buzz as ACCT Playoff game is to Les Robinson
