The jealousy of St. John’s midweek trip to Dayton overfloweth.

Jealousy overfloweth? Maybe just a little hyperbole there? Just because we'd rather be in the NCAA than win the NIT does not mean we're not enjoying watching them play more basketball. I'd love to see them win it all.
However, I would rather be Crash Davis with the 21 glorious days in the majors than be Crash Davis with the home run record but never getting to the show. Because that's the goal of every player that suits up - it's to make the NCAA tourney. The NIT is a nice consolation prize, but it's just that - consolation.

I, agree as well. The winner of the NIT generally get some preseason respect the following year and will certainly be higher in the preseason rankings than who ever lost a game in the play in portion of the NCAA tournament. I would think that in terms of betterment for the team The Following season winning the NIT is far more beneficial than losing in the play-in game

Penn State received 0 votes in both preseason polls this year. First Four loser UCLA was #20 in one poll and #21 in another. First Four loser Arizona State got 3 votes in the AP Poll. Of the three, Penn State and UCLA sucked out loud, while ASU returned to the First Four and got a win this time.

Losing the PIG is an embarrassment. I'm not sure they should even be considered actually in the tournament. They should get back to the 'first round' being the first time all the teams play. PIG losers have not made the tournament and therefore do not constitute a round of tournament play. Its too damn confusing, esp for a UC grad.
