LSU/UL NIT matchup

This makes sense. A 2 for 1 or even 3 for 1 with top schools would be a way to build a resume. Of course, some schools will not give us a home game even if we offer a 5 for 1, but its worth a try.

There are valuable Home-n-Home games to be had.

You just need to plan them a few years out.

Many schools will not play here period-Agree it does not hurt to ask however.

Mike, I still don't believe that "many" schools won't play here. There may be a few, but scheduling good games is a problem for everyone. There are plenty of quality games to be found. Other schools very similar to us manage to find them. No valid reason we can't.

Oh, is RPI the sole factor when determining seeding for post-season play?

Not for the NIT. The only factor is what your name and athletic budget is.

Anyone know what conference the officials will come from? Praying that we get s fair shake and balanced game from zebras...also, will the pep band be allowed in building, if so, hope they leave z"respect" and "hey baby" in Lafayette...

I’m not calling you a liar, but I just don’t believe this. Until I’m on a conference call with whoever does our scheduling and every D1 school to hear them each tell us they refuse to play here no matter what the deal is, I’m calling BS on whoever told you this.

That’s coming straight from the horse’s mouth. Marlin has said it many times whether it be at rebounders club or on radio interviews

Budget is irrelevant.

Potential Gate is another matter.

The fact that the NCAA has corrupted the NIT is a crying shame.

I just find it very hard to believe, but I’m not on the phone calls, so I have to take his word.

Emergency deals are undoable.

These deals need to be planned far in advance.
