but we arent in the preseason anymore. if we start out 20-0 and then lose 4 straight, we are supposed to be all excited bc we are 20-4, or worried because we lost 4 in a row.

Expectations definitely change, but thinking and acting like you lost 4-in-a-row is often a self fulfilling prophecy.

More often than not, freaking out (overreacting) when a long win streak ends causes losing streaks.

He has to run the table and win the regular season title And get to the Conference Tourney Championship game to get an NIT bid.....

I might be wrong but I think just running the table in the regular season get an automatic NIT bid.

Yep, because you would be the regular season champion which guarantees you an NIT berth.

There are no automatic bids to the NIT as far as I know

To get the NIT bid, Cajuns just have to match GA State the rest of the way in number of losses. Assuming no other team has a realistic chance to catch the top 2. Cajuns do have one "extra game" to be played as GA State has played one more than the Cajuns.

#1 seed (regular season champ) gets an auto bid to the NIT if that team doesn't win the conference tournament.

It my be helpful if we just take a deep breath and back away from the keyboard for a little while.

Ok...I stand corrected, it is an auto bid to the NIT for a regular season title

[Turbine]

I think the NIT auto bid is something the NCAA implemented after they purchased the NIT.

This is all new to me.

Just checked the RPI and UTA is now tied with Iowa at 149. So technically we are 2-4 against the Top 150, 0-4 against the Top 148.

Cool.

Sounds like a "Today Only Special."

well, thats not what i said, because of a loss you cant say "well, if i would have told you we would be 20-4, would you take it" thats trying to hide or ignore the very bad loss we had.
