I'm no expert but teams that turn down the NIT usually do because of some unpublicized unrest in the locker room. Not saying that is the case here but even UK, UNC and IU do not turn down the NIT. There has to be a reason

If it's a senior laden team that set its goal at the beginning of the season as NCAA Tournament or bust, I can understand the players not being interested in going through the motions in the NIT. Particularly if it meant going on the road, which I assume it would have for Bowling Green.

The article doesn't say Bowling Green turned down an NIT invite. It says they won't play in a postseason tournament. Bowling Green's NET and Kenpom rankings are in the 100s and worse than any team that got an at-large bid to the NIT. My guess is they weren't invited to the NIT, and this is their way of saying they won't play in the CIT or CBI.

Correct that was the year we lost Dex Wells and we went 17-14 and missed out. That was a bad year but we still kept the streak alive. This started off as the worst Xavier team ever in my 43 years that I can remember. It’s now turning out to be maybe the 10th worst year ever. That’s high praise

My friend told a huge UC fan he was jealous UC was going to cbus, his response was perfect and true X fans would agree.
you gotta be encouraged that team was left for dead Steele figured it out and got them playing and made it fun. You guys should try to win that thing.If I was going to school for school, I wouldn’t have picked the University of Cincinnati. Dontonio Wingfield
