CBI or CIT?

[Pablo]

Let's keep playing!

Vegas16!

 

[Patriotsince81]

Neither.

 

[CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY]

Looking forward to not going to any 2300 fan CBI or CIT game.

But will go to Vegas for any reason whatsoever.

Id take either.. but these tournaments are about the future, so unless Moore and Jenkins are adamantly against sitting, they shouldn't suit up. Both had outstanding careers.

That's a pretty silly thing to say. If the goal is to get more games for the freshmen and sophomores, you might want to start the two most consistent players on your team. Maybe you give Relvao an extended look at some point and see how he does, but other than that, go with what got you there.

Just my opinion.. sorry you think it's "silly"

Just think about trying to play Relvao or Temara for 35 minutes and get back to me.

You mean think about playing next season?

Look it's not a big deal and I wouldn't argue with someone who feels differently.. it's just a personal opinion and I can certainly see your reasoning.. Go Mason

With an entire offseason of workouts and practices...

It's also entirely possible they bring in a transfer to play the 5 next year. Who knows at this point?

Relvao played 7 minutes today. I think it would be more beneficial for him to get 12-15 minutes in (hopefully) multiple CIT/CBI games than to force him to try to play starters minutes after having barely played all season. It would screw up the entire chemistry of the team. To say nothing of just leaving Moore sitting on the bench.

I just don't think it would be beneficial for anyone to set up your team to fail on purpose.

I think that's a good point, but I agree more with the point that letting Moore and Jenkins play is likely to lead to more games, which in my mind is even better. I'd rather win a third tier tourney with them than be one and done without them... Not that I care about winning the tournament, but that winning it means several more games!

Certainly Paulsen can be a little looser with the rotations and see where our freshman stand at this point in the season, but you've also got to ride the horses that won 20 games this year.

 

[patriot2000]

Absolutely. I think most coaches are much looser in the rotations, but still obviously look to win the games

Dave Paulsen: We hope to maybe get an NIT bid. If not, we'll evaluate some of the other tournaments. We have to some time to think though.

 

[MasonFanatic]

The Vegas 16 isn't happening this season. They may try again next year.

Mason may not be done for this season, should receive invite to CIT or CBI. Trend though in #CBB is to turn down those bids because of $$.

 

[MasonFanatic]

Selection Sunday is getting extremely close and the number of automatic bids to the NIT is extremely low at the moment. (Still a long way to go!)

That means that the NIT bubble is extremely robust. All those open spots are leaving opportunities for a plethora of teams to make legitimate claims to an at-large position. The way I see it there are currently 13 teams vying for (currently) seven spots in the NIT.

The Atlantic 10
Includes: Richmond, Davidson, George Washington, George Mason

This is the second tier of the Atlantic 10 behind the Dayton, vcu, Rhode Island trio that is battling for NCAA Tournament positioning. A few of them are likely to make the NIT. Davidson did itself a big favor today by beating Dayton, but the Wildcats are still just 9-14 against the RPI Top 200 (4-12 vs. Top 100). Richmond tied for third during the A-10 regular season and looks to have the best overall profile. GW and GMU are both a little off the edge. GMU needed to beat vcu today to be taken seriously, but the the Colonials can still help themselves with a win over Richmond tonight.

Based on the trams that have committed to the CIT...we should play because we would win the darn thing.

 

[Five Two]

I didn't think the CIT was available to A10 teams, but that could have changed recently. They'll take anyone's $$

I noticed that GW had some graduate students playing this year (cavanaugh).

Not knowing how this works, is it possible that if Marquis and Jalen signed up for graduate school they can play another year?

Wouldnt that be amazing.
