Absolutely agree!!!!!!! Too bad Temple did not lose by 20 or even 30. (NT) -- NJRAMFAN, Wed March 16, 2005 06:37:21

This is great after not only Digger whining but Dickie V claiming there was a conspiracy against ND. A first round NIT loss at home kills that conspiracy theory real quick. (NT) -- CKRAM98, Wed March 16, 2005 08:02:22

That is not entirely true in my opinion. A team's success, or lack thereof, in the NIT is not indicative of what they would have done in the NCAA tournament. Often times it is the bubble teams that fail in the NIT b/c it is hard to recover from the letdown of not making the big dance. I am not saying that ND was deserving, but I also do not think that the game against HC proved anything. (NT) -- J�Dete93, Wed March 16, 2005 09:13:13
- I see what you are saying JoDete but it also says something about the character of the team if they roll over because they (in their minds) got snubbed. (NT) -- CKRAM98, Wed March 16, 2005 12:13:33
- Understasndable, but to claim it "doesn't prove anything" is inaccurate. (NT) -- Mojofunk'75, Wed March 16, 2005 15:46:30
  - Actually it is my opinion and it unequivocally reflects my opinion quite accurately. When I said that "I do not htink that the game against HC proved anything" I was referring to whether ND deserved a bid or not. In that regard I do not think the game proved anything. That is an opinion, not a statement of fact, I do not think it can be proven true or false. (NT) -- J�Dete93, Wed March 16, 2005 16:38:50
    - I believe you're right. On the other hand, if you lose a first-round NIT game, no one is going to listen to complaints that you should have made the NCAAs. If you think you were snubbed, and you want to make a point, you have to make some noise in the NIT. (NT) -- JoltinJoe, Thu March 17, 2005 07:50:40
