I may be crazy and all by myself on this but here is my question:
Which would you prefer:
One and done in a higher tournament
or
Win a lesser tournament
The obvious rank of the tournaments is
NCAA
NIT
CIT/CBI
So would you rather get whipped int he first round of the NCAA or win the NIT
or get whipped in the first round of the NIT or win the CBI/CIT.
This is purely hypothetical and I am just asking a general question. I have no knowledge of any tournament invites and am not insinuating that we made a deep run in the CIT.
There is a lot of talk about success and failure and obviously we all want to win the NCAA tournament every year. Also obviously you never turn down an invitation to the NCAA tournament. I guess I am asking as a fan. Which would you look at as a greater success: just making a higher tournament or winning a smaller tournament.
I vote winning the smaller tournament and here is why:
1. you get to see Tech play more games and win more games
2. You end the season on a winning note
3. I think many fans would look at you as being => the teams that went one and done in the higher tournament.
I say this regardless of the tournaments if you have a different answer for the high/low pair explain in your post.
