Princeton was in the NIT in 2022 so the Ivy League definitely allows it. They actually won the NIT back in 1975.
Well, damn. Hope it won’t hurt us.
Princeton's NET is 49/50. And its Princeton, their loosing hurt. How much, we'll see. But it hurt.

You have to admit it's been fun having these discussions, whether or not you believe we have a shot to make the NIT.

Looks like NC State is going to the NCAA tourney.

I've got family that went to state. You'd think it was 1983 to hear state fans chattering.

Maybe if enough big conference teams decline and NIT invitation, they will go back to making sure regular season champions get an automatic bid.

It’s like the CFP, the P5’s want it all… we just have to prove them wrong.

The NIT will snub us for the abysmal strength of schedule.

Yesterday, we were about 7 above the cut line on most sites. Today, we are still 4 above (and that's without any more refusals--Memphis, Ole Miss and Indiana have already said they would decline)

I don't think so. People who are pretty connected to our athletic department say that they fully expect NIT still and that has not seemed to change.

I wonder if there will be any politics in the bracket because I would think the NIT would see an App at Wake game as a good money game. I would be shocked if we don't get in NIT.

NC State opened up a new spot for Princeton in that bracket guess.

I had more confidence in making thr NIT before this. People who are pretty "connected" to our athletic department are some of the biggest providers of fake news of anyone on this board.

I wonder if Gillin has had discussions with Kerns and what the odds are on him returning for at least one more year?

Would we rather decline NIT if Kerns is leaving to get a jump on coaching search?

Yes to the first question. The others I would be speculating.

Playing in the NIT has no or virtually no impact on the search. If DG is aware that Kerns is leaving, DG is working through intermediaries one would think to find out who may be interested.

I am not talking about people who post on this board. I know a couple season ticket holders who said NIT tickets were popping up in their account. It is funny we have had a few on here thinking we had a chance at NCAA and then some believe we are possibly on outside looking in for the NIT. We won't be in NCAA tourney but I am 100% confident we are in the NIT.

I did not think it would either but I saw that question posed elsewhere so I was curious to see what others think on this. I think a good run in the NIT helps us regardless of what Kerns does.
