Did the taters loss to USC keep them out of NCAAT ?

[section907]

I don’t think so. It was early in the season but it didn’t help.

Remember when taters had 2 votes on the football committee to help them get past bad loses and weak schedule. . Too bad they didn’t have the same effort for Bradnell ..

No one loss does it but I am more than happy we could help them out. Help them out of the football and basketball playoffs that is.

Didn’t help. Especially when you throw in a Louisville loss for good measure.

Getting in is based on the entire season, and so the bad USC loss 100% contributed to them not getting in, but was not 100% of the reason.

Look at Frank’s teams all those years. They generally got stronger at the end, and finished decently in the conference, but always has bad losses at the beginning of the year that cost them a shot.

While we can all agree that the NIT is a meaningless event, leave it to the "we are too good for that" whine and cheese crowd to turn down a chance at some more much needed practice

I think it may have been a very much looked at loss by the committee, loss to a BAD really bad SC team, I would guess that came up!!

Let’s see, 24-9 beating your Rival. They would be in!!

And they would have been bounced wearing the same clothes they arrived wearing.

If you lose to MOREhead Please ST, you be on a ten year ban like Will Smith.

Plenty of top seeds go to the nit to lose. One of the reasons NC didn’t except. Who wants to get up to play the NIT when you feel like you got the shaft on the tourney.
