Hey OUVan and Others...there are two issues here. One is fact and one is opinion. First, I simply said the field SUCKS. Fact: it does. You seriously can't disagree with that statement. Second, it is my opinion that I don't know why anyone wants to play in a tournament with such a weak field. What I said was I would think our "goals" for the year would be higher. Is our goal to be ranked by Sagrin in the 150-200s and go the fourth tournament in the pecking order every year? I never said anything about not supporting the players or watching the game. I love the Cats so i will watch and root.
My one other point was if there is one good team in the Tournament, it is Cleveland State and we get to play them. Not sure how this got round to Miami. hell, they deserve to be in this thing given their Sagrin Ranking and comparing them to others in the field.
Maybe you should go tell JC how wrong he is to play in the CIT Tonight's update for The Post had the following:
And much of that, in Christian’s opinion, falls upon college basketball as an institution and its inability to make postseason tournaments other than the “Big Dance,” something to be proud of.
For a team in his own conference like Buffalo to turn down bids to both the CIT and the College Basketball Invitational is “awful,” and doesn’t allow the MAC’s profile to rise, Christian said.
“If you don’t feel like you want to play because you’re above it, then I’m embarrassed for you,” he said. “I’m saddened when I see Buffalo do it.”
You've made your point ... repeatedly. Most here disagree with you.
Last, as far as "the field sucks" .. that is your opinion and NOT a fact, as you stated. Learn the diffference between facts and opinions (or edit your post to reflect the FACTS).
