I'd rather win the NIT. Sure, the NCAA tourney is better, and in general means we had a better season, but as far as just the 2 in comparison? I'll take win the NIT.
I've already had way more fun watching us win what we already have in this tournament than I would've had watching us lose by 15 in the ncaa tourney. I know I'll be going crazy if we win the NIT. It'll be much more memorable and fun for me than watching us lose 1. Even if it doesn't mean anything, its a hell of a lot of fun to be on that ride.
