An anonymous poster asked the seasonal late February/early March question:
Would it be better for A&M to go maybe 1 and done in the big dance or a better run in the NIT.

I can answer this definitively. It is always better to make the tourney.

It would be better to make the tournament and not score a single basket than to win the NIT without letting any opponent score a single basket.

Evidence: programs are measured by how many years in a row they make the tourney, get to the sweet sixteen, elite eight, final four, etc. There is no, "they made the tourney 3 out of the last 5 years, but won the NIT those other 2 years."

this team is a tough team to watch...they get down by 18 and will battle back to win some or come up short in others...they might not have any super stars but they play hard and as one...no fighting or guys playing for the next level...good thing I'm bald...they would make me pull out my hair...but they are winning...and hopefully another trip to the big dance...
