The NIT snubs the A10

[Gallipoli]

There are NO A10 teams in the NIT. Not even Dayton. Unbelievable.

I wonder if Dayton said no?

A-10 = CAA 2.0

 

[Eight Legger]

Dayton did say no. For"medical reasons" apparently.

 

[Gallipoli]

Not Fordham, St. Louis or Mason. Those are good teams. Terrible snub for our guys.

Would have been particularly meaningful for Fordham

Who do they think they are North Carolina? The A10 should sanction Dayton.

Dayton’s season ends as it announces it ‘will decline any postseason opportunities’

BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Dayton Flyers will not hear their name called on the NIT selection show, which starts at 10 p.m. Sunday.

I hope Fordham plays in the CBI. Heck, I hope we play in the CBI.

We had a losing record. We don't deserve to play anywhere else and won't.

I want to forget this season as quickly as possible, I had modest to low expectations but even this output against the soft A10 is pretty pathetic.

Spot on.

The NIT Final Four isn't at Madison Square Garden anymore. It's in Las Vegas.

“What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”’sort of works against the NITs effort to become relevant again.

A10 was probably the worst it has ever been this year.

 

[SpiderLaw]

Duquesne seeded 5th in CBI; so only VCU and Duquesne in postseason from a10

 

[8legs1dream]

I can't tell if Dayton was invited and declined or they just announced that they would not be participating before anything was arranged for the NIT.

 

[Section9.RowD]

I guess I shouldn't be shocked that Fordham at 25-8 won't play NIT/CBI based on NET but just a mess for the A10.

 

[SpiderK]

Is anyone going to the NIT games the A-10 is in? 😂 Damn I am always right.

 

[SpiderRick]

A10 was probably the worst it has ever been this year.

And yet Richmond finishes near the bottom of the list. That just shows how bad we have gotten. This is very disheartening, particularly for those of us who remember "the good old days".

Exactly, the bottom of the bad.

Dayton would have made NIT I think if they wanted to play. But either way. Can you remember a time since we joined the A10 where we had no teams mentioned on the bubble and basically were a 1 bid league, and then to have only 1 (lets assume Dayton made it and declined) to the NIT? We usually have 2+ teams in NCAA and then 2+in NIT. This was a down year.
