South Carolina declined too, so both teams that didn't make NCAA tournament decided to throw in the towel.

Wake Forest, Indiana, and Rutgers all declined invitations too. Nobody wants to play in the NIT.

Smart move. This program is in shambles.

I know many on here think that’s the right move. I don’t. I would have liked to watch them again. I don’t care if they lost, it would have been another chance to see my favorite team play (no matter how bad they are).


There.
Are.
No.
fricking.
Players.
Left.

Who's gonna play? You? Coach Mac's children? Undergrads from the UREC?

My bet is that every starter plus at least 2-3 on the bench have informed MM they're not coming back, they've cleaned out the dorms and are on the way back to wherever they're from.

we were 3-15 in the SEC, plus a 29 point loss in the SEC Tournament.

We have NO BUSINESS playing in the post season. None.

Honestly the NIT should just go back to giving autobids to teams that win their regular season conference title but not the tourney title and then just try to fill the rest of the bracket from there.

Fox started their own reject tourney for Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East schools. NIT will be gutted to the CBI.

So is it possible we could not field a team next season? I don't want to see a product as disgraceful as this year's.

Surely there are some intramural players available.

Now that SC declined, I full support LSU's decision.

But SC was quite competitive in their losses throughout the year -- vs Auburn, Florida, Miss St, Ole Miss, Aggies, Tennessee and in the SEC tourney vs Arkansas. Color me shocked that they declined, but maybe it's on principle given their poor W-L record

No worries guys. We have tons of support from big money boosters just waiting to spend on NIL to help McMahon get the program turned around.

Sickening. Frick you Woodward. Frick you. You fat good ole boy pos

The NIT needs to die. I hate it but I’ve seen 7 teams that have declined bids already. Supposed to grow to 10-12. We’ll see but it’s just not relevant AT ALL any more.

How are we retaining a coach AND declining an NIT bid

We did this with Johnny Jones too. He was fired a year later
