I am hearing from a VERY reliable source not connected to App that after last night in the ACC tournament we will likely play Wake Forest in Winston first round.

I would anticipate that pairing.

Does saying you can't be on the bubble for the NCAA and the NIT count as speculation?
Every thing is speculation, hope, wishful thinking.. whatever term one prefers..
at this point ...that is my point

Memphis is out. Penny Hardaway said they won't play in that tournament since the tournament is being ruined by the current changes.

It's ridiculous that we are even having this conversation. I understand losses hurt more than wins help when it comes to NET, but App has as many Quad 1 wins as Wake Forest and Syracuse, and those teams are considered locks for the NIT and are NCAA bubble teams depending on their performance in the ACC tourney.
While everyone is gnashing teeth over NIL and transfer rules, the major conferences (specifically SEC and Big 10) are trying to monopolize college athletics.
They stoped trying years ago. They're outright doing it, and will come out on top when all is said and done.

Including the 12 teams from the power six conferences, I count 24 teams with better NET than we have. It would seem our main competition will come from teams that are bigger names that have NET in our neighborhood. We sit at 72, someone like Memphis at 76 or Maryland at 81, could get the nod before us. I think we stand a good shot at getting in but its clear will more than likely travel to a P6's home court.
There is a good chance the P6 home court will look more like our home court if Wake Forest in Winston Salem. Go APP!!!!!

We’re definitely making the NIT. A few teams are already declining. Kind of like bowl season. Go ahead and start recruiting and get in on the portal action.

don't know if the SOS will help us that much with this game, but Auburn just crushed a 28-7 Scar team to advance in the SEC tourney

Agreed. I wondered how many would decline.

It is just one game and remember that they beat them by 40 earlier in the season. I agree with 311neers that it does not matter and we will get the NIT invite regardless of what Auburn does in SEC tourney.

The Ivy may not participate in the NIT. They’re funny when it comes to postseason.

Princeton was in the NIT in 2022 so the Ivy League definitely allows it. They actually won the NIT back in 1975.
