UR an 8 seed in the latest bracketology

Watch out for bid-stealing conference champs who don't win their tourneys, and make your plans for the CBI in Daytona!
We need to pass on cbi and super srs should sit the NIT if we make it..
For us to make NIT - we need to win 3 more games the rest of the way AND we need 2 A10 teams to make the NCAA tourney.
I think Davidson is close to a lock for tourney, and then I think if someone else wins the A10 tourney - we get 2 teams in. Maybe we get a 3rd to sneak in to first four game - like a VCU if they make A10 finals and lose.
Then - we need a lot of lower conference regular season champs to win their conference tourneys.
The NIT is a good tourney. So we don't decline it. But it is clearly below the expectation for this team. If this team was on the bubble like a VCU and just missed and got a 1 seed in the NIT, that is different than sneaking into the NIT as a 7 or 8 seed.

We’re not allowed to do that at Richmond anymore. They said a kid drowned so they stopped it

Very thorough and detailed reply...please opine as to your disagreement. My thoughts were that the NIT would help the young kids get experience in a tournament setting..cbi would be an embarrassment and having super super srs play in the NIT is also an embarrassment. What's your perspective?
I think of course we'd accept the NIT. and I'd play to win. the super seniors are obviously a huge part of this team, and they should continue to be until they're done. the NIT isn't a scrimmage.
I would tell the seniors - you don't want to be embarrassed by NIT, then make it to MSG for final 4 of NIT. Get games on ESPN and show everyone how good you really are.
Not to mention - a final four NIT run would def get Mooney an extension.

I would tell the seniors - you don't want to be embarrassed by the NIT, then win the effing A10 tournament! And geez, we've been on an ESPN channel like 6-8 times already....
Right, it would seem that if the seniors didn't want to be embarrassed they wouldn't have gotten shit canned by St. Joes by 30 at home, lost to a Utah State that traveled cross country to play in an empty gym that we had a short bus trip to, gone to the Bahamas for a vacay and find painfully creative ways to lose both games, getting beat by a pedestrian George Mason team, giving up against your cross town rival in a second half blood bath.
But yeah, showing out for the NIT (which we won't) will show the world how good we are.
Wake has been very good this year - wish we could get them back on the schedule each year. That was usually a good game for us more times than not, and playing a close ACC team (cause UVA and Tech won't touch us) is always a good thing I think.
3-15 in the ACC last year to 13-7 in one year - huge turnaround.

If that happened we would play in Charlottesville against the Hoos and the same refs who officiated the CBI game in 2008 the last time we played in Charlottesville would come back for the game..................
I'd like to amend this list to include getting poster dunked on at the buzzer in your last home game as seniors. That statement dunk by Dayton was kind of the perfect statement for this group, play really well at times, never quite good enough, and then in crunch time watching the other team make the big game winning play.
Jim Reid and entire school devastated.
kid was a top notch recruit.
imagine as a parent getting that call.

Pretty quick turnaround. Amazing the fruits that can be reaped with a new coach. Sadly a distant concept in Spider Land.
Kind of ironic that we beat one of those teams... But we still are one of those teams.

I will renounce my spider fandom if we end up in the cbi.
I would hope we would turn it down, but it wouldn't surprise me if Mooney decided he needed more games to help keep his job.
