I'll watch and be happy each win, but it's still simply practice for next season. It's a participation trophy but you get to improve yourself with the extra practices. How many teams from the NIT final 4 made the NCAA's this year? 1? The team that won it was a one and done team this year (tough matchup with Syracuse). Bakersfield made the final 4 last year. It's not a big deal beyond the practice and extra games. It's basically a low-end bowl game.
Are we going to tell recruits that we're a NIT team? No. All they're worried about is that damn One Shining Moment video.
I'm more excited about next year. This year is nothing special even if you win the NIT.
This is a perfect example of someone who doesn’t understand the process of building a winning program and is only focused on today. You acknowledge the value of the extra practices, but then minimize what that means to the program’s development. If you can’t see what this participation trophy has done for the confidence and team chemistry, then you simply don’t know what it takes to build a program. Go tell anyone on the team or any of the coaches thus doesn’t mean anything...
As for recruits, check Robert Woodward’s tweets if you think it doesn’t mean anything to them.
Or you could continue with the same negative BS you have spewed all year about thus team all year.
