Consistency and efficiency on offense if the biggest concern to me. And as mentioned no go-to shooter. We have long periods of stagnant offense. 10 passes around the horn to end up with a rushed unplanned shot is not a good offense. Multiple missed layups and free throws each game are also a concern.
Fox Sports is launching a new post-season tourney this year. Thus, the NIT is changing it's selection process to combat it. (think more Brand name teams)...
AI Overview
Yes, the NIT is changing its selection process for the 2025 tournament, with the most significant change being the allocation of "exempt" bids to the top two non-NCAA Tournament teams from the ACC and SEC, essentially giving them automatic bids to counter the new College Basketball Crown tournament launched by Fox Sports; this change is primarily aimed at maintaining relevance in the evolving college basketball postseason landscape.
Key points about the new NIT selection process:
"Exempt" bids:
16 teams will receive "exempt" bids based on their ranking, with the ACC and SEC getting two automatic bids each.
Power conference focus:
The new format prioritizes the top non-NCAA Tournament teams from the major conferences, particularly the ACC and SEC, to compete with the College Basketball Crown.
Response to competition:
These changes are seen as a response to the new Fox Sports-backed tournament, which has secured deals with the Big Ten, Big 12, and Big East.
True, but the entire North Dakota population is 783,000, which is smaller than Fort Worth. Put a strong football team in Denton and we'll have advantages from being in DFW that are better than being the top school in a small state.
