[QUOTE="Serious Late, post: 1297006, member: 5520"] So the question is "would you rather your season be already over with a pretty disappointing NCAA Tourney stay or still be competing for the honor of 69th best team in the country?" Silly. One result is an already known, disappointing end to a season. The other result is a still unknown, still getting to watch games result. Yes, I would rather still be watching Illinois games than not get to still be watching Illinois games. That said, at the outset of the tournament, I would take the much more difficult, much more likely to be out early outcome of the First Four, over the more likely to last longer, but far more disappointing end season result of the NIT. Comparing a known to an unknown is odd. If the question is, in June, would I rather we lost in the First Four of the NCAA Tourney or been NIT Champions... I would rather have lost in the First Four of the NCAA. We were at least in the game. The NIT is an exhibition event. [/QUOTE]
