NIT

Joe Lunardi has the Cajuns as a 16 seed in the NCAA play-in game...is he on drugs?

Think he is on drugs. 16 seed play in games are auto-qualifiers with the worst RPI's from the worst conferences. The 11 seed play in games are the lowest at-large bids - featuring some teams that would have been excluded without the play-in game scenario.

Do we have option to chose another tourney instead to get home game?

Seems like the play in games should have the four 16 seeds.

They go out of their way to protect the top seeds.

If they really picked the best 66 teams in the country and looked at unusual situations like illness, we would be in. But that is not their priority.

It would be a travesty if we do not get at least one home game.

Yeah I don’t think that would go over to well...

Not even a question. NIT > any other tournament not named the NCAA.

College Roundtable has us as the 9th overall seed, hosting Temple in the first round of the NIT.

You are right and even it used to challenge NCAA, but do you understand what term "option" means, lol

We certainly have the option, but don’t believe any team would opt out of the NIT to host a CBI/CIT event if that’s what you’re asking.
