SLU would not see UD until the NIT Championship or 3rd Place Game, which has been resurrected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slufan13 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 We'll have gone 2 weeks without a game. Maybe we'll have our legs back and roll through the NIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billikenbill Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 We've got our hands full with the Bulldogs. Lost to Dayton in OT, Beat Kentucky by 1, and lost in OT, Beat Mizzou by 15, beat Fla. by 15, lost to Bama by 8, 7, and, of course by 35, and beat Ole Miss by 10.

The above is the most I know about Mississippi State, but it would be embarrassing to get bounced in the first round. But the above makes it seem like we could.

Bay Area Billiken Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 The Big East must think the NIT is now below it. Louisville (ACC) and the 3 Big East NIT range teams, Seton Hall, Xavier and St. John’s all opted out of the NIT. Meanwhile the supposed NCAA multi-bid A10 actually has 4 NIT teams: SLU, Davidson, Richmond and Dayton. Bravo A10!

That CBI tournament in 2011 had a profound impact on both the VCU and SLU teams. These games can make a big difference for next years teams. rgbilliken, RUBillsFan, Bay Area Billiken and 1 other like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, that their seasons are not what they normally have been, they are smart to shut down, especially in this odd COVID year and protect their name - by not playing future. They have plenty of revenue from their current seasons and from prior year NCAA Tourney credits. Smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I've never been to the Star (Dallas Cowboys new facility). FC Dallas plays in Frisco. The city is all new and strip malls etc but it has a lot of hotels and restaurants. Fly into DFW and rent a car or Uber north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
