NCAA vs NIT


Mar 24, 2019, 10:17 AM

Let’s just look at the numbers...

351 teams in Division 1
68 in the NCAA Tourney

That means that a little more than 19% of the field gets in. Now let’s take out the 68 teams and we have 283 left.

283 teams
32 in the NIT

Only 11% of the remaining field get in. If you included every team into the NIT equation that means only 9% get in. This little bit of math clearly states that not only is the NIT harder to get into but it’s also more prestigious.

No matter how much the media tries to downplay our Tigers basketball success the numbers clearly tell the story! I’m tired of ESECPN trying to build up other programs like Duke with their false narratives when numbers don’t lie!

Go Tigers!

CBB gets us to NO post season 44.4% of the time, (outside the top 100).

CBB gets us to the top 100 55.6% of the time.

CBB gets us in the NIT 33% of the time.

CBB gets us in the NCAA 22% of the time.

Some people consider this successful. I am not one.

You had me going until you got to the point about ESECPN trying to build up other programs like Duke when clearly Duke is not a part of eSECpn, and eSECpn doesn't cover The NCAA basketball tournament, which is part of CBS Sports. Sure ESPN will report the games, but they really don't have as much of an interest in Men's Hoops like they do in Football.
If you want fair coverage of Men's hoops then watch CBS, and the other three channels (True tv, TNN and TBS )to get the in and outs of the 64 team field.
So, regardless of the numbers, the idea is to get to the "BIG DANCE", not the NIT.

yeah but Duke is the SEC of Basketball, so of course ESECPN pushes that team! It’s complete crap and I’m over it!
