@RandleRant This is pretty unprecedented tho, right? I know some teams decline, but never this many.
Better question is why do they decline? So they think the selection committee is gonna change their minds? Go let your kids get more experience in the NIT
@RandleRant I have a theory that with Jamie Pollard on the committee that they gave him the option of taking that 2-seed in Omaha vs a 1-seed that went to UNC, and he chose staying closer to home over the “glory” of getting a 1. Just a theory.
@RandleRant Go Cyclones.
That said, as a Cyclones fan since birth, I’m seeing today’s game having classic look-ahead upset potential. TTech just beat KU by 29, & is looking to crack the top 25. ISU sees this as a “break” from playing ranked teams, looking ahead to #3 Houston. Watch out!
