According to most of the NIT sites, we're not even in :/ But the guy on NIT-ology (the most well-known NIT prediction blog) says we're a 5 seed traveling to UCF.

Home game versus UVU in the CIT if the Twitter and other online rumors are accurate...

If Dame's latest tweet is any indication, then he is pissed:
"No NIT? #slapintheface. 24-6 overall / 14-2 in league."

Quite the snub there...
Bunch of bullshit if you ask me that teams like Seton Hall, Minnesota, Mississippi State, etc gets in over Weber... Hell it's bullshit that Seton Hall is even in the post season.. if you can't finish above .500 in your conference you should be watching at home no matter what conference you are in.
How does this happen? Weber has a better RPI than THREE of the four 1 seeds in the NIT, and two of the four 2 seeds in the NIT...and gets left out? Yet teams like Minnesota (19-14, 7-13) RPI: 89 get in..
Wow...

I like the opportunity to play UVU... Nothing prestigious about it, however, it gives a chance to go 4-1 vs. instate teams.. I also like the chance to enter the Dee again and see the seniors and Dame put on a beat down!!! :rockon: :rockon: :-D :-D
The tweet from Dame makes me wonder if this anger will be enough to keep him at WSU on more year... He wants the respect, and he deserves it. I am selfish and want Dame to come back, get his team to 30 wins to the sweet 16.... Thats what I feel...

Not to defend Montana, but this same thing happened to the Griz last year, lost to UNC in the conference, had been teh 2nd place team in BSC and get ignored by the NIT, played in the CBI like the Cats.
The CIT is mostly mid-major teams, has TV coverage ( on Fox college sports I think) and is a chance to play....Cat fans need to get out and support the team. A lot of teams are sitting home with no chance to go anywhere....

Playing uvu and then possibly Utah state? Does no one have money to travel in this tournament.. I am still boggled as to how we dropped this far but dame is right this is a huge slap in The face. I love the kid but this just shows he needs to get out while its hot and hit the NBA. He won't get any respect from anyone in The college world just because Weber state is by his name. The NBA scouts have seen him and want him. I say strike while the iron is hot.

I don't know what the mind set of the guys might be. However, if it was me in their shoes, I'd be one pizzed off dude. They can either take it out on themselves or their next foe. They can look at it as the culmination of a good, but disapointing, year, or the start of the next good, possibly great, year. The end of something or the beginning of something. We can play like we have during the year end collapse or get back to the, I've got something to prove, edge they had earlier in the season. :twocents:
