Look…I get it.
NC State coaches, players and fans of the program all wish the Men’s Basketball team was dancing in the NCAA Tournament.
The NIT is never the goal of any program.
Back in 1975, NC State legend David Thompson said…
“Personally, I don’t want to play another basketball game unless it’s in the NCAA. The NIT just seems like such a loser’s tournament.”
While I get the sentiment, I don’t agree with Skywalker.
This team is not a group of losers, and they have been given another opportunity to put the Red and White on with pride, and stand as brothers once again, and beat whoever walks onto the court with them.
