I disagree, I think UK should accept an NIT bid, if it came to that. Yes, it is demeaning, but the real insult is missing the NCAA in the first place. When you're the all-time winningest program, being left out of the real tournament is as bad as it gets, so competing in the NIT would not make it any worse.

Also consider that the team would get to play few extra games, and if they did win the tourney, it could help springboard them to bigger and better things next year.

One positive I can take is that it may give us a couple more wins to keep UNC away from our total wins record. :thumpsup:
I just don't think it would really effect the team in the end.
Season can go two ways, 1) we will continue to bump heads and blow games to the point that our players do not even want to try. 2) we will continue on with the season with a TEAM mindset and eventually start playing like a entirely different squad (possibly knock some teams off and gain confidence). Only then would the NIT benefit the team for next year.
